Solid place for a tourist.

It is certainly a good place for tourists to stay. Hotel was recently updated and has a pleasant feel to it. Rooms are small but sufficient. A 15 min. walk to a nearest subway station could be a bit troublesome for those traveling with small kids, especially when you are coming back to the hotel, but the walk is safe and pleasant for adults. Plenty of good restaurants(turn right on M street and there is a nice small place with french name; further down M there is COSI - excellent food and inexpensive).

Turn right on M street and one block ahead on the left side there is a small and inexpensive place with French name; it has a surprisingly large menu.

Solid place, great location

Went for 2 days to visit family - the hotel is in a great location: walking distance to Georgetown and Dupont circle and a short walk to the Metro station. The room is very clean generally and smells really good - only issue is that the room is really small, so probably not a great spot for families, but fine for singles or even couples if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room.

Nice but not great

The staff were generally friendly. Our room was a small, but I guess that's what we paid for. The room cleaning was a little skimpy. The seemed to cut corners and they never left extra soaps or shampoos even after we used them for several days. My wife had to ask for a shower cap, and we were never given more than two towels in our room. Nice hotels usually charge for internet, but there's is $13 a night. There is free internet at the coffee shop in the lobby. They also don't have a pool or jacuzzi, but I should have checked for that before hand. The bed, bathroom, and tv were very nice. I was expecting a little better service and amenities for a 4 star. I was planning on spending more time at the hotel, but ended up only sleeping there.

city-sightseeing.com has an open bus tour that stops right in front of the hotel. It's good for a tour and daily transportation.

Chic but small

Recently remodeled and updated. Great location for visiting George Washington University campus. Short cab ride to National Mall and museums, Chinatown. Much nicer hotel than previous visits. The room we stayed in was small but chic. Only a double bed and very little walk around room for two. The bathroom had a very nice walk in shower. The mattress was fabulous. I wish I could buy one here. I wouldn't recommend the room as a double, only as a single.

Compact room

The room was compact, had a small table over the a/c unit and a shelf unit with a tv, safe, drawers. Very good use of space, but made it tough to do work at the table on my computer. Froze there! The restaurant there was fine and the location is great, near the universities, hospital and FoggyBottom metro.
