Clean room with balcony. Room like the old days in hotwla when iron and board in the room. Had a safe but dis not work as advertised. Also had parking for a fee. Steps away from Byward Market. Highly recommend.

Front desk and general staff were amazing. The canvas art everywhere artfully lit in the stairwells, the rooms, breakfast room and even the stained glass details in the transom windows were lovely. Clean, comfortable, homey, with a touch of jazzy history located in the heart of walking distance to everything made our short trip here memorable and sold us on coming back! Lyft service was fantastic too! Oh, and super comfy beds as well. Should be a 4 star!

Perfect central Hotel.
Great position for the best part of town Nice well equipped simple rooms. Breakfast was not lavish but offers more than enough for a good start to the day. Immaculately clean - I don’t think we have ever seen such a pristine hotel Would definite stay again and would recommend to anyone.
