We stayed here for an extended weekend. It was perfect location to McPherson metro/down town/dupont circle. Hotel was clean and quiet. Great little breakfast/lunch place around the corner called nerds and nibblers. Room was small but perfect for a couple. Highly recommend

A decent hotel in an amazing location. Room was good-sized and bathroom was huge. Both were spotless. Shower had ample hot water. The air conditioner vacillated between too hot and too cold. I'm glad the hotel had spare blankets!
