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.

Check in was a bit awkward. There is no loading zone, and very limited parking, so I had to go across the alley and park. I would’ve loved to have been able to drop my luggage off first. The door to the lobby is right off the “parking lot” (5 spaces) and is an active drive through so you couldn’t leave your car to quickly check in and drop bags. My room was facing the street and it was very loud from the noise outside. I was on the 4th floor and was disturbed throughout the night. Rooms and common spaces were cute. Nicely decorated and spacious. Location was good as well.

The room is clean and the bed comfortable. This is the second time we've stayed here, and we'll probably stay again. This time we were placed in a smaller space that overlooks the highway. It is VERY noisy and drafty through the windows. You'll hear police, firetrucks, honking, loud music, loud exhausts, horns honking, trains blowing horns, even the occasional pedestrian conversation. Try to get a room in the back of the hotel. Also a couple amenities could make life easier here: a surface in the bathroom to put a hairdryer on (instead of putting it in the wet bowl of the sink), a half in the shower, better water pressure (1.5 gallon per minute?). More parking options and explanations. More towels. everyone is so nice though, and the price is reasonable for the neighborhood. See you next year probably!

Second time staying at Hotel Nell and definitely not the last. Great little boutique hotel with the best staff. Easy parking right in front of hotel if available. If not, parking directly behind the hotel not even 50 yards. Due to its smaller size it is so easy to get an elevator, and to your room. The breakfast in the lobby (not complimentary) was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. Super easy to catch an uber or Lyft. Close to restaurants. My go to for DC stays.

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.
