    Noise from the street was inescapable. Lobby coffee was horrid. Staff was unfriendly and quite cold. No service issues, just aloof. The bathroom fan was so loud it made spending time in the restroom uncomfortable.

    Great location! Train was only 2 blocks away. Room was cleaned well daily.

    A great staff, a clean but basic room, close to everything

    This is a fairly bare bones hotel. A nice room. A lobby with basic coffee, hot water and a few tea bags. A noisy but efficient air conditioner. None of the extra amenities, such as. a chest of drawers or a fridge or coffee pot in the room. A basic accomodation made much more inviting by a caring front desk staff.

    The front desk staff went out of their way to be friendly and very very helpful. They could not have been nicer, and this gave a very favorable impression of the hotel. The room was nicely furnished and was refurbished in the recent past with good lighting and outlets and a very nice bathroom. Shampoo, conditioner and towels were supplied, as was a hair dryer. Very good location, close to the White House and museums, and a block from a Metro stop.

    We noticed stains on the sheets as we were stripping the bed for checking out, there were also shoes under the bed so it was clear it hadn't been swept.

    The location was fantastic and great value for money.

    The hotel is old without restaurant or bar. The room was rather small. There are some stairs to the reception desk and elevators, and the luggage should be handled manually without any help

    Excellent location in the downtown to visit the main pints of interest. Perfect for tourism and going to the hotel just to sleep. Room very clean and bathroom is quite good.

    noise. i was placed close to the elevator and beside the main streets. i could hear every ding of the elevator and noise from the street. the shutters couldnt hide the light from outside. no curtain to cover the windows. im used to a very quiet very dark bedroom, so i have to buy ear plugs and wear eye cover- i got to sleep. also, one switch for the bathroom lights and the fan vent. fan vent was loud. very annoying. i dont need the fan vent everytime i use the bathroom. please separate the vent and light switch.

    it was lovely! affordable for its location (close to white house). old building, well preserved. Shin, the receptionist, was very helpful, respectful, always smiling. she was awesome. bathroom was spacious. love the shower head!

    Quality of the bed. Everything you turned the wood sounded like it would break. We slept opposite to the elevator so we heard all the people talking while they were waiting for the elevator. Every ding of the elevator announcing he was at our floor.

    Location is the best going for it
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Queen Room

    The entrance lobby has a flight of stairs which lead to reception/elevators and there's no one at hand to help with heavy luggage. This is the downtown part of the city and if you arrive on a weekend many restaurants and eateries are closed, otherwise there's a good selection within walking distance. Room was not cleaned in time one day even though it was 3 PM by the time we made it back. The safe box was not working, the only employee around (at reception) did what he could to help but ultimately had to place a request for maintenance the next day which never happened.

    The best thing going for this place is its location. It's within walking distance to a couple of subway stations that made access to the city, hotel, attractions, and airport easy. Subways in Washington are some of the best in the country. The rooms are small and the decor and furnishing is early 20th century (think 1920's) which lends a "classy" but a bit passé aspect to the place. The bed was comfortable and the views to the street are decent. Bathrooms have been renovated and upgraded, and roomy. Within walking distance to museums and attractions.

    The Hotel is very clean but could do with a refresh. It feel a bit tired. Also it could do with black out curtains.

    The location is excellent for the White House and park area. Bed is comfortable.

    The worst part of my stay was the wifi on the 9th floor was terrible. I was having to continually reconnect. It got to be super frustrating. Operating the front door was also a challenge at times.

    Room was well kept. Hotel was convenient to the Metro station. I had limited interaction with any staff, but what I did have was pleasant. I appreciated being able to check a bag before I checked in and to also check a bag after I checked out.
