A good option if you are on a very tight budget. Our room was very small and the amenities and building are old but it was clean and in a safe, convenient location.

This was a solid, cheap option for a stay in DC if you're not trying to spend much time in the room. The room was pretty small (bed was against the wall with one side table and a mini desk on the other wall) and just lacking some simple things - like a dresser, closet, or even a single hook to hang anything on. AC system was directly over the head of the bed and very loud so I had to turn it off at night. There are also no fridges in the room. The staircase and hallway areas seem pretty out of date with older carpeting and peeling paint. All this being said - the bed was comfortable and clean enough, the bathroom is a good size and clean - so for finding a not $200/night place to stay in DC it was fine. The area around the hotel is great - so many food and coffee options nearby and easy to walk anywhere.

Although advertised, no internet was available..at least in my wing of the building. The front desk was informed on day one and several other times during my stay, but it was never addressed. Small room, spartanly furnished, well maintained by cleaning staff. Not close to metro stops, but many dining options close by.

The room was very small and didn't have a closet to hang my business suits. The door jamb had evidence of damage as though it had been kicked in previously. I've never seen a bathroom that small. The paint on the walls looked like it was applied by an amateur, there was missing grout on the floor tiles, the pillow smelled like cooking oil and the air conditioner only worked if it was on level high. I saw several rats just outside the front door. The price was low, but the room still wasn't worth it in my opinion.

I recently stayed at the District Hotel in Washington, DC, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Positives: • Excellent location, close to major attractions and restaurants. • The front desk staff were polite and helpful. Negatives: • The hotel is extremely rundown and in dire need of renovation and deep cleaning. • The coffee served in the lobby was stale and undrinkable — I nearly vomited after one sip. • The Wi-Fi connection in my room was practically nonexistent. I had to go to the lobby just to use my laptop, which was very inconvenient for business travel. Despite reporting the issue to the front desk, there was no response or action from management. Due to these issues, I decided to check out early on my third day and moved to another hotel, forfeiting my remaining nights. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone, especially those traveling for business. Expedia should reconsider listing this property until significant improvements are made.

I was staying there for a business trip with 2 coworkers. Each of us had problems with our keys, 2 of us could not get hot water, no manager was on site and only available by email, and the property was generally run down. Despite sharing the issues with the staff nothing was done to try to resolve our concerns.

The room did not have a closet to start with, the entrance door was cracked and you see the outside of the room, TV dod not qork for 4 days despite several complaints to the front desk, thet just did not care, the housekeeping team was more helful and supportive than the front desk staff. Absolutely the worst wxperience I have had thus far.

Room was simple, clean and adequate. Internet wasn’t working but we got a small refund which illustrated the staff’s willingness to accommodate. The fan/AC was very noisy. A couple little bathroom towel racks would have been nice. The neighborhood was jumping fun with great restaurants and proximity many of the city’s best known offerings. Excellent stay for those on a budget who don’t care about amenities.

Basic, but all you really need. I would describe it as somewhere between an upmarket hostel and basic hotel. But at a price point 10% of the nearby Marriott for one night, I am more than satisfied.

The location is great. The room was clean and had everything I needed. Not big and not fancy but adequate for a place to sleep comfortably. The bed was comfortable, the A/C worked, the bathroom was clean and well-appointed. The real negative is the common areas. Upon walking in the lobby, I was hit with a strong smell that made me wonder if I had made a big mistake. The lobby and hallways are beyond tired. Worn carpets, etc. a lobby freshen up would make a much better first impression. I would stay there again.
