Vibrant original art lining the halls and in our room was a highlight. We also loved the small but thoughtfully stocked kitchenette and the tasty breakfast, including excellent coffee. While spare, the room was clean and well organized. Location was perfect, as we were headed to the National Gallery. Staff were uniformly friendly and helpful. On the downside, as older folks we found the bed a bit uncomfortable.
