Very Good

The room was clean and very cute! Everything about the hotel had a very comfortable, warm feeling. The staff was extremely attentive and caring. Had a wonderful short stay!
My stay was during the late Winter. The room was very comfortable. The room was small, yet functional. The bathroom and tub were spacious. The staff was nice and efficient.
This hotel is in a very convenient place to visit all the Washington highlights. It a historic building that has undergone a number of renovations. It has some of its Victorian Charm with some 1980's paneling and nice updates. The bathroom had an 8 spray shower that was amazing and lots of room. The bed was comfy and the staff was super helpful. It has a small lobby but is great for reasonable, clean and central place in DC
Excellent value. Older hotel but clean and comfortable and great price.

Disliked: Amenities
The facilities were fine. Some businesses nearby, but there's not like a 24-hour CVS or anything, and there is no bottled water in the room, so make sure you bring a filtered water bottle or get water before you settle in for the night.
