Family trip to DC. Great location. Overall, perfect for our needs- clean & comfortable place to come back to after a long day of sightseeing. We had water pressure issue in our room, but the front desk quickly switched us to another room. Coffee is available in the lobby in the morning.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room are extremely outdated and SMALL. Bathroom seemed larger than the room itself. The power in the room when out three times is while using the blow dryer. There was a spider on our bed and that freaked us out, weren’t sure if there were more. Front desk was helpful and kind despite the issues we had. Ice machine was in the basement and just didn’t seem hygienic.

We liked the location (we were able to store our luggage when we checked out at the UPS Store across the street). Yes, the rooms are small, but they were comfortable and had a uniqueness that reminded us of days gone by…Would definitely stay there again.

This is charming property is in a convenient location in downtown Washington, D.C. My room was a bit small, had no view (it was right against the side of the neighboring building), and was dark (they need to put light in the clothing closet), but it was clean. Other than that, public transit is closeby, and many local attractions are walkable. The front desk staff were also friendly and helpful.
