it was a short walk from the train station. and a short walk to the nearby venues that i was in town to visit. and while not as spacious as the big name hotels, it was big enough to not feel cramped. so all in all, things were good.

Loved the staff, they were so friendly and location was great across from the metro but the rooms are quite small, suitcases under the bed as no where to put them and wardrobe limited, no fridge or coffee facilities but we got but with glasses of ice from the bar, I would stay here again but just letting you know it is a small room, roof top bar was lovely but paid $29 for a beer and a wine so is expensive, ate in cafe for breakfast and it was lovely and guatuiy is included

Loved how it is conveniently located near metro with dining options around the area. Room was in the smaller side but was very clean. Some things we did not like was not having a small fridge and the max volume of the tv was somehow still very quiet. Overall we liked our stay and would stay again next time we are in DC.
