Perfect for solo travelers or couples - would not book if you are traveling with a large party or family or need some space from your travel companion as the rooms are pretty much like small studios. Otherwise, very cozy with a view with a king sized bed. Check-in was really quick and easy and the room/sheets/towels were very clean. The ipad was so fun to use to adjust lighting and make requests (cleaning service, ordering food) if needed. Also, very close to the Metro station if you want to go sightseeing around DC. Loved it - will stay there again when I come back.

Overall it was fine but the air conditioning was not working very well so it was hard to sleep at night and there was a constant water puddle in our room because there was water leaking from the ceiling. They did have someone come and look at it but it did not fix the problem. We were constantly having to step around the water puddle in the room.

The air conditioning wasn’t working we switched rooms and it still wasn’t working. There was water dripping from the ceiling. We asked for a fan 3 times due to the mugginess and the lack of air conditioning each time they said they would bring it up and no one ever did.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean & convenient. Negatives: air conditioning not great in lobby or in rooms. Also, the little in-room refrigerators don’t work well enough to be called refrigerators. Luckily, the very nice staff let me check my special refrigerator item in a walk-in near the lobby.

Unhappy customer

I was not able to get to DC due to the weather. Because the reservation was very deceptive (thought I was booking directly with Hotel) I was not able to cancel or contact anyone beyond a bot. Super unhelpful and beyond frustrating in a situation that was already extremely stressful.

This picture truly depicts the size of the entire room. For one person its tight, for two people very snug. Very similar to cruise ship rooms. Number of towels could be improved. All controls for room are on an iPad which was cool. Room was clean, I found it ultra-modern, space saving and small. Location to monuments was great. Hotel restaurant left a lot to be desired, pricey with few choices. Very few outside restaurants in this area. More staff would be helpful especially in bar restaurant area.

The staff is very helpful all around. Breakfast was good with lox and thick cut bacon. Hotel is chic and modern and that includes the rooms. Very clean with laminate in the room and there is a modular feel. I really like how helpful and friendly the front staff are. The bar downstairs and 24/7 hour dining is very convenient. The menu is good and so is the food.
