Not possible to contact anyone at any point. You have to be lucky and be there at a random time when someone happens to be at their desk. Very poor service.

I like the check in process and how we didn’t have to speak to anyone. The rooms were a nice size, bathrooms a bit small but it’s whatever. Only thing that sucked is our TV screen picture was blown out of proportion so we couldn’t watch anything.

The room was clean and bed was comfortable but it was very dated and not well maintained. There is not staff on site, so checking in with the link was frustrating because it wasn't working properly. Not the greatest experience and wouldn't recommend...good location though.

The model is 'low staffing' but they were able to help when they were there. My room was ready a bit later than check-in time. Their keyless lock on the door didn't work and I had to go back and forth with the staff to get a new one (luckily they were around) and have them open the door with their fob to get in. The room was kind of damp feeling and had a smell of mildew. The room was small and the furnishings and condition of the shower, carpet, etc. were a bit worn. There was no shower curtain in the tiny bathroom which made the whole bathroom get wet when you shower. They've charged me an extra $100 upon check out so know I have to coordinate with them to make sure they refund it...

The rooms were well-kept and the hotel was very convenient to everything around Dupont Circle. There was an issue with the water pressure in my room, amd the staff quickly relocated me to another one. Over all, I was very pleased withbmy stay.
