Enjoyed my stay

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and always helpful. Great location, one minute from the Capital One Arena and within walking distance from all the museums. The hotel bar was really nice and there are lots of dining options nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at this property back in February so I don’t remember the unique name of the African American gentleman who checked me in, but he was extremely helpful, and gave us a generous voucher for food and drink at the hotel, and also provided a wealth of knowledge of the city and offered several suggestions of things to experience. I wish I could remember the gentleman’s name. But I would definitely stay at this property again when I return to DC.

Nope.

Tiny does not even begin to explain how small this room was. And the bed was about as comfortable as sleeping on the ground.

Mini but mighty

Was in DC for a basketball tournament at Capital One Arena. This hotel is a block from the arena, a metro station on the corner. Rooms are very small but every inch planned out. No fridge or microwave, get ice from the bar downstairs. Not a lot room to spread out but if you’re spending the day at the Mall, it’s perfect. Very reasonably priced. I’d stay here again. Super nice folks at the desk.

Good value and very clean

Business trip and if all you need is a place to shower and sleep this is ideal. Price is reasonable, given the location, but don't expect a big room. The staff there is amazing too.

Disliked: Amenities
Upon checking in, the staff was not hospitable at all. Nothing more than here is your key, okay bye. I had to ask where my room was. The place itself was SO NOISY. I heard sirens and alarms all night every night. I did not get good rest. My view was a brick wall. The cleaning staff was meh. I noticed black pet hair all over my bed and I have no idea where it came from but I had to clean it off. The front desk staff did the bare minimum. I would have to ask about the restaurants on the premises. They offered ear plugs, but who wants to sleep with ear plugs? Then on my last day they offered to move my room but I was already leaving at 5 am the following morning.

The hotel stay was totally fine for the staying for one night until in the morning when we found a cockroach in our room that totally turned us off from the visit/hotel as that’s completely disgusting. I did tell the front desk but all I got was an okay we”ll take care of it & nothing else or no other accommodations . We likely won’t be returning.
