The location of the property was central to everything I had to do.

When we arrived we had high hopes due to the outside of the hotel. Once we got to our room it was very dated. It was a room with a kitchenette which we thought was cool until I went to heat up food and a roach came out of the microwave on top of that the freezer had a bad odor. When we called front desk about the roach issue we were told rooms with kitchenettes are bound to have rodents ?. We were switched to a new room which was better than the first without a kitchenette which was fine but the AC did not work it was actually blowing out hot air. The room temp said 80 degrees so again we proceeded to call front desk where we were told the cooling system was set to winter mode and could only blow heat so we were moved again hoping weโ€™d get a room with a working AC. We did not, it was the same issue only heat and at this point we were over it. We opened the window which only opened a crack and attempted the sleep the best we could. One of the individuals had asthma and the heat caused her to throw up as well as her nose to bleed. It was a mess. The next morning the front desk lady apologized for the inconvenience and said the same thing about the heating issue. The kicker was as we were leaving we passed a room that was getting cleaned out and the air was blasting we were so frustrated. We were refunded $35 for what is called a destination fee but I feel as though that wasnโ€™t enough. If the hotel has issue with heating and cooling that are known that should be listed on the description. The beds were comfortable and the location of the hotel is nice.

I was quoted a price when I arrived and paid. Upon leaving my card was then charged again with an explanation that it was not done properly at check in which was not my fault. My card should have never been charged twice.

The location is excellent for Downtown DC

AC did not cool at all, so we had to leave the window open to cool the room, which also let the street sound in. The "included" breakfast was a voucher for a specific menu item at the restaurant next door, no choice or variety. To even get this, I had to repetedly chase it with reception and we missed the first days breakfast. Other smaller irritation included hot water being finicky and soap dispenser broken. Only minor but add to the lack of AC and breakfast scam.

Great location in the downtown area. The room was spacious with a large, comfortable bed. We really appreciated having an espresso machine and a refrigerator in the room, which made our stay even more convenient.

The room was quite cold, as there was a noticeable draft coming from the large windows, which seemed rather old. The internet connection was unreliable at times. We could hear renovation work starting early in the morning, which was disturbing. Also, there were no spoons or forks provided, even though there was a microwave available in the hallway. Please note that the deposit is not refunded immediately, so be prepared for a delay.

The property is located in the heart of the city. Itโ€™s close to great places to eat and just minutes from the Lincoln Memorial, which was our go-to spot.

Our room was extremely cold, and I donโ€™t think the heater was working. I couldnโ€™t sleep well because of it.There was also an additional $75 fee for overnight parking, which I think is too pricey.

The room was decent. The king bed was very comfortable. The location was great, just a little far from the metro.

The bathroom looked old. There was some kind of door on the roof and it was rusty. The caulk around the shower was dirty and cracking from the wall. The hot water wasn't always hot.

A nice old-school hotel with large comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Good location, nice and safe area.

There was ongoing construction on the top floors of the hotel, and the noise woke us up early in the morning. The internet connection was very poor.

The property is close to the White House and other landmarks. Itโ€™s walking distance to lots of food venues and shops. It felt fairly clean in the room although a bit dated. There was a daily room cleaning service.

During our stay there were lots of loud noises coming from above due to construction going on. The shower was leaking and made a constant dripping sound the whole time and there was no fan in the bathroom so everything got damp every time someone had a shower.

Staff Very friendly

We had a problem with the shower; I spent 20 minutes in the shower waiting for the hot water to come out. I called the reception repeatedly but they didn't answer. I went downstairs and found the staff chatting. I explained the problem and they sent a technician to my room, but he didn't completely fix it because the water was still only lukewarm.

As a previous hotel operation' manager, I originally, booked this hotel mainly for the location and the price for a 3-day Birthday trip in DC. I was pleasantly surprised at what a great find this stay was! I highly recommend this hotel!!! The King bedroom was so spacious, above average and clean with a great view! Housekeeping was such a delight and had our room tidy every day, (which is rarity with prolonged stays at most hotels.) The shower's water pressure was perfect and heated up quickly! The staff was superb and so graciously welcoming. Valet parking was fast and curtious! I can not hold back on how much I loved this beautiful hotel deep in the heart of historic DC. I do want to mention the valet parking for our rental vehicle seemed pricey but it was worth it to be independently mobile around the city.

The restaurant food, but they had beer and wine!

The room had a kitchen and a good size bed

The room was very cold I guess the heat was not working, I'm so glad my wife brought extra blankets. Also I was charged for valet parking but never received the service. I found a spot to park my car on my own. I reported both issues when I checked out. But I see the valet parking was still on my bill.

The location is perfect, close to pretty much everywhere. The room is also nice and clean.

Poor customer service. An Indian man at the front desk is very rude and unprofessional. He treated us as if we ask to stay there for free. There are millions way to handle guests's issues but he chose the one that so impolite and unacceptable. No one should be treated that way especially when they didn't use their service for free.
