Great hotel!
Great stay! Spacious room with kitchenette and living room. Love the Foggy Bottom neighborhood and proximity to GW. Easy to walk to restaurants, Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods and the metro. Brandie is always so welcoming and kind!

Nice place
The staff are friendly, and the rooms are clean. There was one issue, that is that there was no heat so the room was freezing.

The staff were excellent and all very friendly, the property was super clean and the accommodations, though old, were well kept and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hotel, especially if you want to be near GW or are staying for a few days

Returning after 3 years, we were welcomed by a front desk person who went out of her way to share all that had changed, as well as come out from behind the desk to guide me to the restroom and explain the elevator to me. Room (studio) was even nicer than I remembered. Pets stay free and there was even a pet bowl in the closet! Dog park a block away (morning)—walked our dog two blocks away along park perimeter (a little sketchy at night). Bathroom was great except for little lighting above shower (brisk hot water and pressure) and no soap dish for those who bring their own soap. Extremely environmentally conscious. No room in the parking lot (valet parking), but, found parking on the block (free until 9 am) and all was fine. Will stay nowhere else in Wash DC.
