For the first time ive ever experienced, they actually made everyone wait until 4 to check in. A bunch of us were all waiting in the lobby, and then at 4 they suddenly started checking everyone in. If the rooms are ready, dont make your guests wait. Otherwise the stay has been fine

Very clean room

The reception area may be a little dated, but the room was exceptionally clean. I'm sensitive to highly scented products and this is an issue for me when traveling. So this room was very clean and did not have the scent of sent cleaning products and I was so grateful! All staff that I encountered were lovely to work with. Couldn't get a late checkout, but I guess you can't expect that. In a busy part of a big city so the rooms are relatively small and you can hear what's on the other side. That is to be expected, especially in my price range. Overall, would recommend.

Awesome, awesome, awesome

Prime Location with a Hospitable, Accomodating, and Kind Staff. Only thing worth note is my shower head to tub faucet connection was shot so the water coming out of the shower was mostly a dribble. Overall a fantastic stay. Nice, hot coffee in the lobby and a very comfy bed. I recommend popping next door to the restaurant in the neighboring hotel ( The Dovetail ) for great HH specials and another wonderfully hospitable staff. Thank you DC!

It is an old building and although the furniture is old in every single room, it is very clean. My room didn't have any closet to store my clothes for 7 days but I managed to hang them in the bathroom. I really like the location, because it has a 3 min walk to a bus stop that can take you to several places. I highly recommend this hotel. They also serve american coffee everyday and there is access to filtered water fountain, microwave and a toaster.

Don’t book! This is not a real hotel! I’m sharing my experience to help others avoid the same situation. This place is absolutely not a proper hotel — it’s clearly a short-stay location, not suitable for vacationers or families. When I entered the room, I immediately noticed that the door had been broken into multiple times, raising serious safety concerns. The place looked nothing like the photos shown online. After speaking with several locals, I was told that this location is mainly used for short encounters, not as a standard hotel. I checked out less than three hours after arriving and had to book another hotel. Despite the circumstances, the property refused to issue a refund. They also ignored The agency’s attempts to contact them, I strongly advise against booking this place. It was an unpleasant and unsafe experience.

Room the size of a prison cell. Walls paper thin. Creeps peeping under my door twice even though place is supposedly video surveilled. Had to barricade door, call front desk , police, and be awake 11pm - 3am guarding the door with a knife. AND NO parking. …… NO WONDER SO CHEAP. Would NEVER stay here again !

I had issues checking in. I couldn’t stay at the property and had to go some where else. Out of all the trips this year this hotel and Takoma Quality Inn were rude, inhospitable and unhelpful.

I was apprehensive about booking this property after reading some reviews on some other sites, however decided to move forward with it. It is a very nice and quaint place on a more or less quiet street. Definitely one of the more affordable hotels in DC. The rooms are a bit small and there aren’t any amenities, however for our purposes, a very clean room/bed and TV was all we really needed. It’s within walking distance of some great restaurants and about a 10-15 minute drive to both the zoo and the museums. I would stay again, and knowing what I know now, would request a room on the second or third floor and make sure you bring your own soap and shampoo.

Meh.

The hotel is extremely dated. Overall it was clean. No bugs (roaches, bed bugs). You’re getting what you pay for. A cheap hotel with a good location. It’s not a hostel but it’s pretty close.

I was traveling for work as a single woman and they put me in basement with a window with no bars it felt very unsafe. General overall appearance was rundown. Weird people hanging out in shared space, reception area. I def wouldn't stay there again. If I had stayed there on vacation I would have been very disappointed. For work I was hardly ever there. Def not worth 130 I could have stayed at a chain hotel and felt safer. When I was checking out they did not give a receipt when I asked for one they said would email it to me. The woman at the desk was on her cell phone having a personal conversation / argument and defiantly didn't want to help me check out. Very strange experience. More like a hostel then a hotel.
