Great Value Stay

We needed last minute room for one night and the Architect delivered. We appreciated that the front desk staff was on duty 24 hours. Our room was spacious and clean, if sparse but did have a closet with safe and ironing board. Location is excellent - close to Metro station, buses, plenty of restaurants, etc

Joelle night desk guy was rude with zero personality. The morning team was great! Room was old and tiny but clean. Low price so to be expected. Good location!

Small room in a great location

Great minimal room in a convenient location. Coffee, tea and microwave in yhe lobby. It would be nice if they would consider adding a cube fridge to yhe rooms. Rooms are small- nondrawers to put away clothes- historic building close to bus, metro museums, etc.

Stay again for sure.

The stay was great! The pillows, however, were awful!! Only complaint at all. Too flat and thin. Staff was great. Room was clean! Shower was great!

Overall, not a bad stay. I was only there for about 4 nights, room was a on the smaller side but the bed was comfortable and I had an excellent view of the city from my room. Only complaint I had was that the keycard repeatedly failed to work after housekeeping left the room and I had to constantly go to the front desk to get it sorted. Not a bad spot, would stay again.

Dated hotel

The hotel is dated and dingy, but the staff kept it clean. There is not much giing on in that part of town on a weekend, as it is a M-F biz area. No parking options were provided, and DC is very tricky to park in.

7or 8 steps down to the lobby. No ramp to help with luggage. Only one ice machine in the basement. Employees friendly, the overnight clerk was very good and helped us with our luggage at checkout. Only one working elevator. Location good, within 30 minutes walking distance to White House, Ford’s Theater. Bed not comfortable but acceptable. Good price, we paid approximately $600 for 6 nights. Don’t know if we would stay there again but maybe.

The location gave a unique and vintage style of space but the room was small and the amenities were non-existent. No complimentary breakfast or real tv channel selection. But because it was located in such a great spot downtown none of those things mattered because I wasn’t there to stay in the room. So for the purpose of just showering and laying my head down it did what it was supposed to do. If you are trying to relax in the room all day and you want more selection this place isn’t for you but if you are there to explore the city the location is perfect as everything is relatively walking distance. Washington monument was less than a mile away and Howard was 10 minutes away if you drive. Overall experience was great for what I needed for. The staff was also kind and welcoming
