I like the best of this hotel is its location, which you can see on the map. Moved from another hotel to the Architect Hotel, the water pressure impressed me. I heard that this hotel went through a renovation, but it maintained its old charm. One nightshift receptionist was particularly helpful to make sure that he would get my lunch bag from the refrigerator before 7 am, and handed it to me as soon as I stepped out of the elevator heading out to work. I loved to stay there for three weeks.

The hotel is a nice historic building. Lots of character. We had a corner room which was comfortable but smaller than the others. The corner room allowed us to see north and west down the street. Loved the location! During Freedom 250 Fourth of July celebration, we walked back and forth from the hotel to the festivities because it was only a few blocks from the White House and Washington Monument. Very convenient location. Nice cafe and restaurants nearby.
