Very nice hotel if your plans are just to sleep there. Very clean and comfortable. It doesn’t have a restaurant or breakfast bar. The hotel does have a small sitting area with a coffee station. But there is a Starbuck’s at the other end of the block and plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. I would stay here again.

Small hotel, some modern amenities, but kind of outdated/historic. Rooms were okay, air conditioners worked well (some reviews said they didnt) and the showers were hot. If you aren't spending much time in your room it's a perfect cheaper hotel.

The best thing about the Architect is its location and the price u pay for being in such a central place. The building is pretty old but it is pretty clean. The staff was pretty good as well. I will always stay here whenever I go to DC just bc of its price-to-location ratio!
