I like the location of this hotel, the staff are very nice, and the room was a nice size and very clean. (It's close to Dupont Circle and the metro. You can also walk downtown easily) However, I encountered many problems. First, I arrived at the hotel and discovered that there was no air conditioning during a very humid week. They did provide a fan and the window could open. In addition, I was given the option to be refunded and find another hotel. Arriving late at night, I wished they had told me sooner. It was too late to handle that after a very long day of travel. Second, the hair dryer broke on the first day and then after cleaning the room, didn't leave any towels or a fresh robe. I had to chase down staff to get a towel. One evening a person who likely had been out drinking was banging on my door, insisting it was their room. Had to call the front desk and they sent up security. The wifi was also very spotty and I was staying in the hotel because it was recommended by the university running the conference I was attending in D.C. Some of the conference was on zoom, so not knowing whether the wifi would work created additional anxiety. Lastly, the fridge stopped working on the last night of my stay. In each instance, staff responded promptly and calmly, but it was just too much in the end. The management needs to look at making sure all rooms are properly cared for. This hotel could be a great place to stay with better oversight.

These propertiy is not a hotel it is a hostel. No tea and coffee in the rooms the swimming pool is awful. Some of the young staff are helpful. There was no air con due to it breaking down. For them to contact you the night before you travel does not give you time to seek another hotel or claim your money back. Location is good. But great for young people.

AC was broken and it was super hot in the entire hotel when we got there with no prior notice, and no fan in the room. Only options were to refund and cancel or stay and pay full price. When we went to check our room, it was a completely different room than what I had booked and nothing in the hotel was nearly as nice as it seemed online

There was no AC, which was communicated before checkin but too late to make other arrangements, didn't offer cold water or anything to help. Nothing off of bill - construction began at 9 pm and my Queen bed was 2 twin beds pushed together and was not comfortable.

Not a bargain! Stay elsewhere.

Save your money. The air-conditioning was out—which was unfortunate and unpleasant—but even beyond that the staff was rude and unhelpful, particularly in light of how miserable the stay already was. There are much better places to stay in DC. Recommend you stay elsewhere!

If you are planning to stay in this hotel, think again. They do not care enough about guests. During our stay, the whole hotel was having issues with air-conditioning, which resulted in very warm rooms and communal areas. They provided a fan to guests, but it was hard to sleep since the rooms had almost no air circulation (no fresh air from outside). From a chat with other guests, this was going on for at least a week, which makes the situation even worse: how can a hotel take such a long time to restore comforts such as AC to their guests. Also, although it is listed with swimming pool, it closes from 1st September. This is not mentioned at any point during booking. Although we had these two major issues during our holiday stay, they have not offered anything to compensate for this besides the option to cancel/refund. We couldn't even consider this option since we were only informed one day before, while already travelling, not giving us much time to re-plan the trip.
