Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I had an unpleasant stay at this hotel. We had to call multiple times for a plumber to unclog the toilet, and every time they took forever to respond. The bed was not made properly; it looked like someone just threw the blanket on and took a nap. The TV is old, only has about 20 channels, and isn't a smart TV, plus it was very dark. The thermostat was locked, and it got really hot at night with no way to adjust it. The only positive was its proximity to the National Mall and that it's within walking distance of most attractions. Unfortunately, I won't be staying here again.

Walls are paper thin, you can hear every noise from the inside outside and everything in between. Being next to railroad tracks doesn’t help either. If the rooms were soundproof this would have been a great place.

This is a GREAT location to all the monuments, museums, the National Mall (our favorite!) & just taking a nice walk. It's also a short ride from Union Station. The staff is extremely friendly & helpful. The only downside (but not so much for us) is that there aren't a lot of dining or bar options to walk to if that's what you're into.
