Front desk lady assigned a room with a defective door. She refused to change the room and wanted to force us to stay in the room until the repair person came to fix the door. We were tired and needed to rest, but she ordered us to rest at the lobby chairs or to go to the market while someone fixed the door instead of assigning a different room. Finally she called for help only to have a person come to the room, to verify that in deed, the door lock was not working… She even accused me of being “difficult” not realizing her directives (to rest in the lobby or go shopping) were patronizing and disrespectful. Eventually she assigned us a different room. This happened on March 30th in the evening… Probably not coming back after several stays…

THis was my second time staying here and I came back because they have good food for breakfast and the rooftop bar. I was quite disappointed when I checked in and my TV didn't work. They weren't open to moving me to a different room because apparently the internet was down in the whole hotel. The internet actually worked so I was able to get work done, but imagine no entertainment on your one night away from home a month. Not sure I'll be returning anytime soon. After I requested complimentary breakfast they obliged. I also don't love the location on a really busy main road.

The creative decor of this place makes it feel more like visiting an old friend. The seating areas in the lobby and scattered throughout the former seed company make it feel so cozy! The staff is friendly and attentive. You could sense their enthusiasm for working there!
It’s so cool that their decor is reminiscent of and a tribute to the building’s former purpose.
Each shelf shows plants taking root in glass jars with water.

I really enjoyed the king-size room. It was spacious and very clean. I love the atmosphere of this hotel, and the staff was great. Safe area of DC with great places to eat and shop. Quick walk to the Metro. I only wish they had a fitness facility.

The room was clean and cozy. Our room was very small compared to what the picture showed, but I think that is sometimes what you get when booking so last minute and with a unique hotel. Would definitely stay here again. I did wish they had a fitness area.

Unfortunately due to a snow storm, we were not able to make it to the hotel. The hotel was gracious enough to refund half of our stay even though the booking was non refundable. We really appreciated that. We stayed at Hotel Nell last year and loved it. Its very charming and the staff was great. We loved our room, the onsite restaurant and the location. Highly recommend and definitely plan to stay the next time we are in DC.
