The best thing about the Architect is its location and the price u pay for being in such a central place. The building is pretty old but it is pretty clean. The staff was pretty good as well. I will always stay here whenever I go to DC just bc of its price-to-location ratio!

Wonderful vintage hotel! Well maintained. Nice lounge area with iced lemon water, coffee and tea. Very helpful staff. I got in the room and found that the bed was made with sheet on top of the comforter which was strange. Flat and hard pillows. A very nice stay though, would be a return guest for sure.
