Great location at an older hotel. The staff could not have been nicer. Had some challenges with the room that were resolved on day two. Would definitely stay there again.

Excellent location and unique room. Beds surprisingly comfortable. If you are looking for a cheap place in a great location to explore the whole city that’s close to morning coffee, the metro, and a convenient store for all of your needs I recommend this place. Felt safe the whole stay!

Great location with ample sights and restaurants near by. Simple, cozy accommodations. An older facility with charm so do not expect the most posh experience. Rooms are on the small side and they aren’t the quietest especially Friday or Saturday when there is an event in the comedy club. But it’s a safe and affordable place to be when all you need is a clean bed and a bath for touring D.C.

Lots of Good restaurants nearby in the local DuPont Circle neighborhood. The motel wasn't the fanciest because it's a converted 19th century home with lots of rooms cut from bigger rooms, but it was good enough for the price. We found the shower good and hot, the AC and heater were excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We were there over a weekend and it was peaceful and quiet. All-in-all, a great price and location for budget travellers to DC.

For the price it was fine. Great location. My bathroom was recently renovated (could use some hooks) but the rest of the room was very “tired”. No where to hang clothes.

If you're looking for ultra modern with everything state of the art; this is not for you. If you're looking for character, charm, and atmosphere; this is for you. I loved every minute of my stay. I loved the grand stairs, the antique elevator, and all the pictures on the walls. My room was comfortable and quiet. I had everything I needed. The staff was friendly and fun. I would happily stay here again.
This was the inside of the antique elevator. Loved it!

I was a little worried after reading the reviews but! We loved the place! We had clean rooms, good sized bathroom, bunch mirrors for me and mom do our makeup without sharing one bathroom mirror. We were at the 4th floor and didn’t hear any noises. Also the hotel is located in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood and is 30 minutes walk to Washington Memorial and 10-15 minutes walk across the bridge to a nice shopping area. And 8 minutes walk from my favorite bakery Tatte.

The first night we stayed there the bed was horrible. It felt like it was broken in the middle. The next morning we asked for another room. Which they gladly moved us to. That room was much better and it was on the 3rd floor which was better than the 2nd floor where you could hear the noise from the comedy club downstairs. The location was good.

This is a good option for people looking to stay in downtown DC on a budget at a decent room rate, in a Dupont Circle location that is convenient and very metro-accessible (right near bus routes, too). It is pretty basic as accommodations go, akin to a student hostel, and the rooms have a bit of wear and tear but are in decent condition. Noise filters in easily, especially if there's an event going on in the space below, and there won't be any microwave, fridge, or storage options. Staff are courteous and friendly. The downstairs bar has good food and drink options, and you are also steps away from Dupont Circle restaurants, night life, and attractions.

Stayed here for 2 nights and it was fine. Rooms are basic but clean, staff do everything they can with what they have, and the location is great. The comedy club in the basement is fun. Then, daughter got sick and I had to cancel. I figured I'd be charged for that night, but not the second night, because that's what every other Expedia hotel has done on these trips. (I'm commuting to DC for work for 5 months, and I'm in the city W-F.) I called 3 times and messaged the hotel but never heard back. They charged me for both nights. I do not recommend staying here.

While it’s not The Ritz Carlton, it is a very clean and welcoming hotel. The rooms were spotless and cleaned daily. Bathrooms seemed renovated recently. The building had a nice historic feel with a very cool elevator. The employees were very nice and knowledgeable about the area as well. Will definitely stay again if I find myself in the area.
