It was a decent little hotel right downtown in DC close to everything we needed to see! The price was a little high for the plainness of it but it was clean and felt safe and walkable distance to everything tour related. The restaurant inside was good and fairly priced. And it was fast to get a taxi and the bell service was there to assist with that. Would stay here again

Wonderful friendly staff - rooms bit dated & tired

A warm welcome from the front desk. Always a smile and helpful. Rooms large, comfortable if not a little worn and dated - bathrooms especially. When I was there they were refurbishing the building and I was warned on arrival about some possible noise - there was none. Bed comfy and rooms quiet mostly. Location very good with most sites walkable.
