We liked the location. It was convenient to a grocery, restaurants, and to the White House and other tourism areas. The front desk staff were polite and helpful. The hotel felt tired and in need of a facelift with flooring, wall coverings, bathroom and kitchen fixtures. However, the bedding and towels were of nice quality.

The building is so old that the whole building is on either AC or Heating. Therefore, no heat in our rooms when the room is 60F and freezing cold. The carpets were so dirty and bathroom, kitchen, and door are so old, it was not great.

The suite was comfortable, clean, and priced right. There weren’t enough towels for the number of guests but the front desk staff were helpful in providing more on request. The location is fantastic, right next to Georgetown. Great neighborhood and plenty to do. The room had a strong smell of mildew, outdated stove/ oven, rusted drains in the bathroom, and an occasional sewage type smell that we think came from the drains. These things could’ve been specific to our suite and wouldn’t deter me from booking again.
