"We had a spacious queen suite, perfect for our family with 3 teens. Breakfast was amazing-best included breakfast we have ever seen! Evening reception good for drinks and light snack. 15-20 min walk to the mall area abd about 8-10 min walk to foggy bottom metro station. Area felt very safe and walkable in 20-35 min radius. Parking very safe and pricey, but city expected. We just left the car until checkout as driving in DC not easy or necessary. Pool is small and quite muggy and 3 elevators...
"Nice vintage hotel. Really nice pool. Room was spacious, though picture on bathroom wall splattered with something. Too bad about plastic water bottles in the room. Also, charging for wifi is really tacky at this level! I only got around it by signing up for your rewards program, which no one at check-in informed me about (at least wifi charges were later taken off the bill). Otherwise, a nice experience."

"Everything we needed and expect.
Bathroom—clean, well lit, plenty of towels, good counter space, mirrors, hot water.
Beds comfortable, good pillows, AC adjustable to just how we like it.
Room quiet.
Restaurants have surprisingly good food and efficient, friendly staff. There aren’t restaurants in the immediate area, so we ate there several times.
Front desk staff were not particularly friendly nor happy.
We would stay here again. Location, location, location. "
"Certainly not a luxury hotel, but basic comfortable, Reasonable, And good location. However, I just saw a news notice saying that the hotel has been bought and will be closing. A shame Since it is an affordable hotel."
