This is an old hotel. There is no elevator, and the furniture is old. The blinds were broken and I couldn’t open them to look out the windows. That being said, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The area is nice and feels safe.

If you are looking for a clean bed and don’t care about basic amenities, this place will do. Good neighborhood with close public transportation. There are no basic amenities. The rooms haven’t been updated in decades. The phone in the room to front desk wasn’t even connected. The water is either ice cold or scalding hot. No spot on shower to even set soap or shampoo (and bring your own of both). The hair dryer didn’t work. There is no fridge in room. The a/c worked sometimes. You have to walk a couple blocks to purchase water or snacks. No ice machine. The steps are a lot if you are on 4th floor. The plus: staff were nice. The bed & linens were clean. Easy walking to shops/restaurants. Right on S2 bus line.

This hotel was okay. The area was very pretty and residential but a quick walk to coffee.shops. The first let down was NO ELEVATOR. Be prepared to bring your own drinks and food. I can understand not having a restaurant, but this place didn’t even have a vending machine. The room was clean but quite run down. A mosh mash of old furniture and no fridge. Nice little garden area in the front entrance.

The room had two lights out as just burnt out lights. The shower had a broken handle so it was hard to keep the watertemperature consistent. There are manual keys to the doors where the doors also have a key card that just doesn't work. The staff who were cleaning were so loud they'd wake us every morning by 8 a.m. don't think we'd do this again unless we were in college...
There was a communal mini fridge and microwave on the first floor. The hotel staff was asleep sitting at the desk. Very convenient location.

Absolutely awful stay. The room barely had any windows, making it dark and depressing. On top of that, it felt dirty and the air quality seemed poor. The bed was filthy as well. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Nice service and great location. Pretty patio out front. Rooms and building are ‘historic’ but clean and comfy.

This hotel did the job and had a bit of charm. The only complaint we had is that the vending machine was down so we had to walk a good way to get some food after long flight and getting in late.

A quiet safe place to sleep, adorable neighborhood directly around, tiny bit of sketch walking down U street (from U street station). Big bathtub/shower size. Trader Joe's 2 blocks away for drinks and premade wraps, salads, water, kombucha. The S2 bus right outside will take you straight downtown to all the sights for $2! Ubers/lyfts get super pricey 4-6pm rush hours $30 for just 2 miles. Effective space heater, window unit AC, clean for an old not updated hotel. The bathroom looked like it had some new tile and fixtures. Lots of dings, scratches, stains and flaws in the old building, not glamorous, but has some interesting old fixtures and history throughout. It's a decent place to stay for a budget overnight. Bed was ok, towels good, no breakfast bar, just coffee, tea, microwave, there was a small fridge in the lobby but not sure if it was for guest use. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Checked our bags in with the front desk at 11am and picked them up safely at 5pm. Overall good stay and I would stay again for the low price, close to everything!
