My wife and I stayed at this hotel a couple of times on our weekend trips to Washington DC mostly for the wonderful museums. In the lobby there is a fire place and coffee and tea for guest . I love the way the rooms look its so unique. And it's close enough to the museums and we were adventurous and walked to the white house . It was late so we just stood outside taking pics.
An impressive and memorable stay. The comfort, cleanliness, and service quality were all exceptional. The property was well organized and maintained, creating a stress-free and enjoyable experience. Everything worked perfectly, and the overall atmosphere made the stay truly pleasant.
Rooms are dated. Rooms are small. Rooms are clean. Location is perfection. They let us check in 2 hours early on a busy weekend. This is a no frills hotel. Rooms are very small. Everything is old and dated. But....it has a certain charm to it. Beautiful old building in a great location basically 3 or 4 blocks from the White House under 160. Its a GREAT budget hotel. Do not expect any frills or extras. Bed was fine, shower was fine. No bed bugs like it said in other reviews. If you just want a safe and clean place to sleep and shower this is a great option.
A very good location in a classic old building. Add some of the limits of the older building that you would expect But beautiful woodwork and brick work. Staff friendly. Room clean and comfortable small of course because it's that type of hotel. Great restaurant locations proximity to Smithsonians which weren't open the white house and warner theatre where we were taking in a concert. We'll be back.
Great location and service. Staff is the best! The rooms are very small but cute. For the location it is great. It still has the old building charm being that it is very old. Hence the small rooms and lack of pool. But my wife and I enjoyed our stay. Rooms were very clean and well kept.
Nice hotel rooms good walking distance from museums, monuments, and restaurants. Nice areas to take photos nearby as well with a kind staff! At a great price, would definitely come back!
The hotel was very nice-I loved the historic decor. Staff was v friendly. If you show up early or have a late train home they can store your luggage for you while you check out the sights of DC (which comes in handy during the height of the summer). The room was clean-basic accommodation. Would definitely stay again
The location of this hotel is excellent, the staff was great, the rooms were extremely clean. Keep in mind it's a very old hotel which is in excellent condition but due to how old it is the rooms a smaller than the usual. yet still good enough and when you consider the price point you realize you cant beat it. its a great bang for your buck.
Government & business district with hotels, old-school bars & museums including the Renwick Gallery.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in District of Columbia. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
