My husband and I were going to a concert at the Warner Theatre. The Architect was walkable to and from the show; the area was safe. We were able to walk to The Hamilton for dinner before the show, and we stopped for drinks at a different bar on the way back to the hotel. The hotel is older, but it is charming. The room was perfect for us for the night. We were on the 9th floor, and I was pleased with the water pressure in the shower--you never know when you are in an older building on the top floor. The bed was fine. The people at the desk were friendly and helpful. We go to DC a few times a year for concerts, and we would definitely stay here on a return trip.

Great little find that was perfect for my conference. Staff was extremely friendly and quick to support. Rooms were small but comfortable and met all of my needs. Excellent location within walking distance of the Convention Center and National Mall. Great price point too!
