They are not kidding about cozy rooms! I couldn't open my suitcase in mine. This is a great value for the location. The rooms don't have fridges, which is fine because you're surrounded by great restaurants in Chinatown. It's perfect for a solo work trip. I wouldn't suggest bringing small kids, though.

The staff are lovely and cannot fault them, the room was the smallest room on our journey, it was a boutique hotel and I’ve stayed in a boutique hotel before and you do not getting coffee/tea facilities in these hotels, they have hangar pegs for coats etc and pegs for hanging your haversack etc on. The bathroom was good and the hotel is good for walking around to museums, White House and the metro is 2 minutes away and union station half hour away for trains. There is loads of restaurants, coffee shops in the area. The hotel is on a busy street so if your a light sleeper I wouldn’t recommend but the hotel does supply ear plugs.
