The property was cool and beautiful. But sleep was not good due to the loud road noise. Seems that many of the big upgraded rooms are on the busy street, so I suggest avoiding those.

My friend and I loved the smell of the hotel when we walked in! So nice after a long drive, the lobby screamed sit here and let your cares melt away. Beautiful and definitely intimate inviting feel. Staff was so nice and welcoming. Roof top bar was great with tasty drinks and great food. Very walkable area, restaurants and shopping, easy parking. I paid for a spot in front of the hotel door. It is worth the extra $45 per night. Literally steps from the door. The twin bed room is small but fine for what we needed it for. Bathroom is great with good space. Provided soaps, shampoo and conditioner. Keurig, Amazon echo show, and TV. Uber was easy to get to see the sites. HINT: Old Ebbitt Grill is the place to see and be seen! Make reservations! There were a few things to be aware of however. There is very little noise insulation. I definitely recommend bringing ear plugs or headphones. Our stay overall was wonderful and I will definitely rebook at Hotel Nell when I visit DC again!

Pretty boutique hotel in a convenient location near many dining options and just a 10 min walk from the metro. The hotel is pretty and well maintained and I overall enjoyed my stay. The only reasons I am not providing an overall 5 star experience is because my room was not cleaned over the entirety of my stay and that the hotel rooms are not properly insulated for noise, one can hear your next door neighbors having conversations or their very loud tv, same from anyone talking or just walking by in the hallway.
