The hotel was ok. No tv, at all, outlets inside my cube had no power. AC was not great. It worked but it was still warm in the room even though it was set as low as it could. The location itself isn’t so great. Not a lot of fast food options near by. No bike or scooter rental right by it, there is one 2 block away.

I was staying in the 4-bed dorm and they beds are very comfortables! the lighting in the room is limited if you close the blinds ( due to the heat we had to close them) but we had a great view of the Washington monument.

Checked in between 6pm-7pm, dropped my bag in the room and left out for dinner with a friend. When I got back around midnight, the room was so hot that I was dripping sweat so badly. I grabbed my stuff and complained to the front desk. He said that he had gotten complaints about the heat around 8pm from others but that they decided to stay. I told him that just because they decided to stay when the heat was bad in their rooms, doesn’t mean that I am bad for not wanting to endure the same. He said that maybe I should have not decided on a shared room and directing that this is all my fault. He refused to give me any receipts. This ended around 2am, so nothing else is open. I ended up having to keep my reservation “technically checked in still” just to sit in the lobby till morning. Was reminded not to sleep any in the lobby. This is my first time staying in DC for leisure only to have one of the worst hotel stays of my life. The bathrooms in the rooms don’t even have shampoo and body wash/soap! (Which they don’t disclose on their site). I highly recommend nobody stay here. The hotel will fight me on a refund, so I doubt I’ll get even half a refund. 0/10

I really liked the location. The walk from the red line can be a bit brutal after a full day walking around but overall it was a nice place to stay. The only thing that has me not high rating was the showers... The water pressure was HORRIBLE. PS if you are there on a Sunday there is an amazing farmers market at DuPont circle entrance to red line!
