Overpriced for what it has to offer. Wouldn't come back here. Small old room, sink is in the room, bathroom is in another room. Almost 1k for 2 nights at the end of September? Not worth it.

Awesome stay. Great place to stay for convenience and awesome experience. Only thing that could have been better was the bed was very soft. Other than that I would still stay here again. Great staff and hotel.

The location and the free breakfast was excellent. The parking was a bit inconvenient because it was not close to the location. No check available it was via text. While the decoration was beautiful housekeeping could have been done a lot better. The walls were very dusty and cob web on the windows and the corners ceilings. The bed sheets, pillow sheets and comforters smelled mildewy. They sheets were left in the washing machine for a long period of time.

Our air conditioning broke the first night we were there. The owners were very kind and provided us with a fan but the AC did not get fixed until the next night. We were not offered a discount or anything for all of the air conditioning issues with the room.

The quality of service and friendliness of the owners and staff were very good. The hotel had a tiny bedroom for 2 single beds, bathroom very small. Dinner with French chef was superb. I’d go again. Location very good and central. Close to Washington Mall.

No parking, restaurant is right below rooms making it noisy. Hosts held a party until after midnight. Shower stall was extremely small. Would not fit a large person. Electrical plugs had lights so the floor was lit up at nite making it difficult to sleep. No lounge area. No extra security lock on inside of door to room. Hosts were friendly enough and the breakfast was fine.
