Upon arrival I couldn’t get into the room as the hotel sent me the incorrect check in info. On my second night the fire alarm went off in my room presumably from the shower, never had this problem anywhere ever, it was sounding in my room for 45 mins and one beep through out the whole hotel that everyone could hear. I tried to get customer services to help but no one answered so I decided to leave. Upon returning I had a messaged from the staff to go reset the alarms with code! 1 it’s not my job and 2 I’m not an engineer so I wouldn’t have known where to go! Wouldn’t book again

Room sparkled and was well equipped with plenty of towel, an iron, coffee maker and a blow dryer. Everything was well-thought out including the room design. Code access to property and room was easily provided and worked seamlessly. Shout out to Manage Nate for helping me resolve an issue with luggage storage. A+

Heater kept cutting off and I awoke freezing in the middle of the night. The water pressure in the bathroom sink was just a trickle, although it was fine in the shower.

⸻ I left this stay genuinely disappointed. The flimsy, broken window frame let in so much cold air that the room never felt comfortable. After raising the issue, I was moved to a room that was shockingly small—less than half the size of a standard hotel room. The shower had none of the basic provisions you’d expect, and the decades-old AC/heater barely functioned. To make matters worse, the only view was of a dark, uninviting alleyway. This property completely failed to meet even modest expectations. For the price, nearly any other accommodation in town would offer a far better experience. Unless all you care about is having a bed and a shower, I would avoid booking here under any circumstances. It is simply not a comfortable or convenient place to stay whatsoever. They bank on location instead of providing actual quality in any way. No microwave, no fridge, nothing useful in the room at all.

It is very nice. In a great location. It feels more like an airbnb and has the historic charm of the homes in dupont circle. Not parking friendly, commuter is preferred. It might make you initially nervous the front desk isnt always there, because you have to trust everything (pins) works when they arent there. It also isnt super private (because it is small & can hear through walls) which may or may not be important to you. Best for solo traveler not in room much, not recommended for larger parties. Maybe a small grab and go free breakfast or free bottled drinks/snacks area could be nice. Local events, happy hours, or restaurant tips on a board or table (doesnt need to be concierge) would be nice.

Very small, basic room. Large TV on wall gets in the way of being able to move around the room, also door very thin meaning any noise outside easily heard.

This is a great budget hotel. Comfy bed, amazing pillows, so affordable. Check in was a little tricky as I had a foreign number on my hotels.com account, but we got there in the end and there was someone on site anyway. (You need a code)

When I arrived at this property there was no one there. I was assigned a room in the basement. The room itself was fine, but the only window was covered with bars. When I checked to make sure that I could open the window from the inside (very important for safety), the latch was rusted shut. I tried calling and texting the number provided, but no one from the hotel ever replied. When I finally found a staff member, he said that he couldn't do anything to help me. I eventually had to leave the hotel and go somewhere else. I think it's very important for people staying here to know: a) rooms in the basement may not be safe -- please make sure to check!; b) there is no one available to help you if anything goes wrong at this property.
