Rooms were small but an unbelievable location. Walking distance to all the main Washington attractions. Room was very clean. Staff was super friendly. Parking off site but not to far or a big hassle. Given the location you don't really need your car anyway.

It's often times we pay expensive $ totals for hotels with amenities that we never use. This hotel was very clean, with great staff, but didn't add fluff that wasn't necessary. The downtown area (China Town/Gallery Place) in general is more populated with tourists and as a result more crime activity but otherwise was easy to find a garage to park in and get to breakfast in the morning.

I came for a quick 2 night stay to attend a hockey game at Capitol One Arena. I arrived later on Saturday night and was promptly and kindly greeted. The front desk worker gave me the run down and got me quickly checked in. I like that the elevators needed a key card to work, adding some extra security. I easily found somewhere to eat off property both nights because it’s in a busy part of town, with Chinatown on one end and bars and restaurants on the other. I didn’t eat at the restaurant while there, but it was always busy when I was moving through the front. The room was small, but clean. It was the perfect size for one person to have a place to land at night and get ready in the morning. The arena was a couple blocks away. There were lots of historic sites and museums within walking or biking distance. I would definitely stay at this property again.
