I liked that it wasn’t old but more modern. It has potential, but the bright color graffiti design in my room was overstimulating— just my personal preference. The room I saw online wasn’t as overstimulating as my room. 2 stars for staff. They were rude and looked unhappy to be there. Gave me attitude when I asked a question about the restaurant. When I checked in they didn’t give me much info about the hotel such as anmenities included or where things are. Just checked me in and said nothing. And the worker on the cafe was on a phone call the whole time on her cell while taking my order. The mini fridge in my room was broken. Other than that it was clean and fine. I’m just used to good customer service at hotels.

The property is in a convenient location, but unfortunately, there are no metro stations nearby, which made getting around a bit more challenging. We were very surprised and disappointed to be charged an additional $80 for amenities upon arrival—this fee was never communicated beforehand. We were told it would cover things like Wi-Fi, the swimming pool, the restaurant, and laundry, but in reality, we still had to pay $3 per wash, the pool was closed, and the Wi-Fi barely worked. It felt misleading, and I believe this should be made clear upfront before booking, not at check-in. The rooms themselves felt outdated, quite dark, and had a noticeable unpleasant smell. Overall, our experience didn’t match our expectations, and sadly, we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

The property sits on a quiet street a few blocks from wither 18th or U Streets. I booked a king which was two twins together, not comfortable for a couple. The room was next to the elevator but we didn't hear any noise from it which was a plus! While riding the elevator, it did squeak and rattle a bit. There is enclosed parking as well.

It would be fairer to call this exclusively a hostel vs a hotel. Simple things like getting a wash cloth are an impossibility. Some of the staff are rather curt.

The rental bicycles are in dangerously poor condition. The noise in the bedrooms, even from down the hall, is tough.
