Stayed here for our elopement
Room was clean and modern. Service was friendly. Hotel smells amazing. Had no problem getting parking in the hotel lot. It's an older building with some manageable traffic noise and some of your neighbor's noise as well. Not a problem I had as I live in a busy neighborhood, but something to be aware of. Close to everything we wanted. Very affordable. Will stay again.

Room was small but that was fine with me. The view was looking tight at another building - so I close the drapes. Cool experience at the bar on the roof. People were kind

Stylish but lacking
Hotel was very modern, but rooms were small and poorly soundproofed. Could hear honking outside and conversations in hallways. I was constantly thirsty all night, I think was off with the perfume they spray the rooms with

Very nice Hotel. Exceptional food, great taste, love the location! Only negatives were parking, and the air conditioning was not operating efficiently. I highly recommend staying 👌

The hotel itself had lots of character, service was great, and the room was clean, albeit a little small, but there were also some comfortable areas to sit around the hotel. I'd definitely come back on a future trip to DC
