Amazing hotel.My room was clean and very comfortable. The location was in Adams Morgan area- great neighborhood. I’d stay at the High Road again. Definitely recommend it if you don’t mind a small room. And I’m a senior so you don’t have to be a “kid” lol to enjoy the stay.

The hotel was perfectly located, and easily accessible by any transportation mode. The staff are great, the handy brochures were a perfect quick grab in the lobby before heading out. The shared kitchen is fantastic, any everyone staying there respects other's property. The facility is very clean, well maintained and ideal for a short or longer stay. As a couple, who aren't backpacking students we enjoyed our stay in the private hotel-style rooms, vs the hostel style. It's simple, affordable and filled with friendly people all around.
