Great stay

Wonderful in every respect. Staff was great, having 2 restaurants on-site was very welcome, and the character of the place is pretty cool. It's an old seed factory/warehouse so there's a lot of interesting architectural tidbits all over the place. Perfectly clean. Smaller rooms than I expected but tasteful. Very quiet rooms internally, the only noises came from outside, through the windows. Side note: parking sucks. The parking ramp is small and fully occupied and tight corners to get in and out, so don't bring your biggest car.

Hotel Nell exceeded my expectations from the warm welcome at the reception to the excellent room conditions. The hotel's ambiance was truly inviting, with a soothing scent reminiscent of lavender or frankincense that made me feel at ease. The rooftop bar was impressive, and although I didn't get to indulge in food or drinks, the atmosphere was lively with a great crowd. The customer service and hospitality were outstanding, making my stay truly memorable. Given its proximity to Union Market, where I had a fun-filled weekend, I'd highly recommend Hotel Nell. This hotel is perfect for couples, singles, and adults looking for a sophisticated getaway, but I wouldn't recommend it for families - it's clear that this is a spot where parents would want to let loose and have fun! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in DC.

Something in the room smelled. No Matter what was sprayed or cleaned it smelled. Hard to say what the smell came from first I thought someone had a animal in room prior to my stay and it did its business against the wall marking it territory but it seemed to come from forced air unit .. otherwise stay was satisfying
