room was dusty. asked if a different room could be accommodated as my husband’s allergies started flaring up, was told there would be a housekeeping fee added to our reservation since we “used” the room. We’ve been to Nell 10+ times in the last year and this was the first situation that we encountered.

We really enjoyed staying in this hotel and we’re here for four nights in September It is a converted industrial building which brings great charm and character to the property As a European I found the room sizes on a par with many I have stayed in around Europe , although I appreciate they are on the small size when compared to the typical American chain hotel The staff were very helpful and polite and that are two restaurants on site and lots of options within walking distance We found it a very good base to explore DC
