The stall shower did not work and the bathroom sink had barely any water flow. I also can not get any kind of contact information to discuss this with them. A dump. Don’t stay here.

Situated in a wonderful neighborhood the Found has the potential to be an amazing stay, but there were too many issues to forgive. My room had an active leak that’s clearly been going on for weeks. The room hate paint peeling from the leak. Room was clearly worn with a great deal of quick caulk fixes throughout the room. I won’t be staying here again. There is no staff or concierge present which became a big issue when the fire alarm triggered at 8:30 in the morning.

Our stay was nice, linens were very clean as well. But overall the room was in terrible condition, all surfaces were wood and warped. There were holes and cracks splurging out of the wall. The tile in the bathroom was set back in place but not grouted and kept cutting our feet. From a picture afar it looks amazing, but once you get close up it really isn’t in great condition, atleast our room wasn’t. For cleanliness, i’d say it was very clean. Just terrible condition furniture/walls and NO mattress protectors. when stripping the bed before we checked out i learned there is no protection on the mattress, my fault for not looking when we arrived. That grossed me out entirely.

This is a really convenient location to the Capitol area and restaurants in Dupont Circle. It is compact, but even so, I would have liked the shower curtain to not cling to me. There were some cleanliness issues that I notified the property managers of, and they immediately asked to remedy. Am alarm also went off at 6:15 AM and continued until after I left at 7:00 AM. I notified the managers and it was remedied before I returned that evening.

Nice enough

Nice place, but no on site staff to assist with any issues. I loved the mattress, but was surprised that there was no mini fridge. Also, no daily refresh of the room. We had to reuse the 3 paper cups for several days, which was not ideal.

The room is a bit dated and really could use new carpeting. Other than that it was very nice and convenient to metro and many restaurants, bars, etc.

The room was smaller than advertised. The bed was so small that my wife's feet hang out of the bed. I stood up and hit my head on the gaint TV in this small room. I left the room on Saturday and checked into a different hotel.

We picked the hotel for location and price. Everything was clean and check in was seamless. For the price point you can’t get much better if you’re looking to stay in DuPont Circle. We’d happily come back if we are in DC again.
