Totally worth it!!

It was a great place to stay at for the price I paid and very close to downtown D.C. The room was spacious, with clean beds and bathroom. The manager at the front desk was a very friendly lady. I will definitely recommend this place.

I felt like I was in the 1950s...in a bad way. I left 2 days early. The rating said 8/10 wonderful. I asked for 2 days refund but they said it was too late. I felt better aborting my trip, taking the loss, and driving 6 hours back to Columbia SC to sleep in a clean bed. Ill always double check from now on. Ill never just trust the ratings.

We booked the room for 5 people- 2 in each bed and 1 on the sofa bed. The mattress to the sofa bed was ripped to pieces and there was no bedding for it. The mini fridge didn't work and we were only given 4 towels each day for 5 people. Our wing of the hotel smelled like old urine and the AC both in the hall and our room were subpar. Wallpaper was coming off the walls and one of the elevators was broken, with no sign on it. My husband got stuck inside of it. Free parking was a perk but the room itself was pretty terrible.
