This is our go to every time we come to DC. The staff is so friendly, the rooftop bar is a little gem, and the rooms utilize the small space. This is where I tell everyone to stay!

Excellent place. The room was small but had optimum usage of space. Only one issue was that coffee is not available on the ground-floor restaurant after 3 PM and as there is no electric kettle in the room, you have to go out for coffee after 3 PM. Except this, everything was great.
