Not as advertized

Room not as advertized at all. Very small, no table to put your Cpap machine. Had to put it on the bed next to me. Outlets are hard to reach and not that many. Floor not even. Definitely not worth what i paid for the stay. Was very difficult to get check in information and required numerous phone calls. Very frustrating and not worth the price.

This is a really convenient location to the Capitol area and restaurants in Dupont Circle. It is compact, but even so, I would have liked the shower curtain to not cling to me. There were some cleanliness issues that I notified the property managers of, and they immediately asked to remedy. Am alarm also went off at 6:15 AM and continued until after I left at 7:00 AM. I notified the managers and it was remedied before I returned that evening.

Overall this was a great experience, good place to stay, and would stay there again. There were some small cleanliness oversights in the room like crumbs on one end table. The lobby and hallway were also not dirty, but untidy. This stay was at an unstaffed location, but made me wonder when it had been serviced. On a Sunday night, the only trash can in the lobby was overflowing, and one of the few conveniences in the lobby, a small coffee machine, was broken and appeared to have been in the state for some time with no indication of it being broken and the supplies (coffee pods, and sugar) fully stocked. This seemed to signal a lack of timely care for the common spaces especially.

Nice enough

Nice place, but no on site staff to assist with any issues. I loved the mattress, but was surprised that there was no mini fridge. Also, no daily refresh of the room. We had to reuse the 3 paper cups for several days, which was not ideal.

The room was smaller than advertised. The bed was so small that my wife's feet hang out of the bed. I stood up and hit my head on the gaint TV in this small room. I left the room on Saturday and checked into a different hotel.

Not what we expected

No front desk, had to enter using a code. No fridge in the rooms, only a public fridge on the main floor. No water fountains either. Luckily there was a 711 a block away though. Room was very small and bathroom had no hooks for the towels. Would not stay here again.

Clean & Very Responsive Customer Service

I give 4 star overall due to the loud non-central A/C heating that running every minute except pausing 15-20 seconds. I figured the ear plugs they provided could helped reduce the noise. But still can hear about 20 decimal. I had to turn off the A/C after run highest temperature about 15 mins. Then sleep until it gets cool and rerun 15 mins then turn it off. However I still can hear the A/C noise from other hotel rooms. I highly recommended the property owner upgrade it to be central A/C system or a quiet individual A/C with installing the compressor outdoor. The extra one star goes to the efficient communication system and easy check in using email instructions. I forgot my ID in the room and the customer service by text respond very fast with a phone call. They contacted the staff on-site and the staff waited me to pick it up. Customer service quality is very important to me. I had bad experience with a different trip car rental office in LA that all people on site care nothing about customers and those customer service was terrible that can’t help nothing because they are actually in India! I lost my phone in that trip in the public restroom.
