The location of the hotel is great. It’s not flashy place at all but the staff are friendly. It’s fine for a short stay especially if you don’t plan to stay indoors often.

The hotel is a nice historic building. Lots of character. We had a corner room which was comfortable but smaller than the others. The corner room allowed us to see north and west down the street. Loved the location! During Freedom 250 Fourth of July celebration, we walked back and forth from the hotel to the festivities because it was only a few blocks from the White House and Washington Monument. Very convenient location. Nice cafe and restaurants nearby.
