The hotel is new, our room was very spacious and flooded with light. The pre-check-in made the check-in ultra-fast. I would book this hotel again immediately.

Clean place, affordable in a safe neighborhood with a free parking spot (fit an SUV) Toaster, coffee machine and hairdryer available. Bed was comfortable. Closed to some major places to visit (30min) I recommend for a one or 2 nights stay! Host was super responsive and welcoming!

Great location, walking distance from the Union station. Also walking distance to all the main monuments. Excellent location, did not have breakfast there, but there are very excellent choices around the hotel, for any budget. Capital one Arena is also walking distance from the hotel. Overall, one of the most comfy hotels I stayed at, great value for the price.

I love the technology from pressing the booking online and getting opened, and all was done through technology. To enter the room, I need a security code that is still online. I'm very much impressed to see something like that for the first time in America and I'm from Namibia 🇳🇦, in Africa and I wish such technology can be exported by you and Namibia import it to the country...I know that people will love it it and mostly the high number of students and sports and tourist. If you are willing to bring it to Namibia, I'm 120% ready to make a business with you.

Everything was amazing, but especially the staff! I talked to three people, Houssainatou, Sthefany, and Mhedi, and all three of them were absolutely amazing! Really went above and beyond! Also they made sure to take extra steps to keep me safe as a young solo female traveler

This place is exactly what you would expect from the title, a cheap place to stay in a good location. If you're not really fussed with comfort or luxury, and just want an affordable place (which is exactly what I wanted) close to everything you want to see in Washington, but having a private room rather than sharing in a dorm, this place is perfect. It's old and quite run down, but the room was clean, which is the important thing.

The hosts were very friendly and the room was very clean! The location was ideal and I love the colors in the rooms and how many amenities there were - if we were staying longer, we definitely would have tried more. Very close to food places and a pretty quick walk to the monuments. Would stay again!
