Location good but not great room conditions
Bathroom had some mold issues. The blankets were scratchy and uncomfortable. The bed was incredibly firm and uncomfortable. The tv had only a handful of selections and very limited for being the year 2025. Value wasn’t great.

Close to museums but lots of train noise
The good: This is probably the closest hotel to the museums in DC, just a couple of blocks from the air and space museum. The bed was a little firm for my liking, but having a sofa was nice. Staff was great and let us switch rooms when the first one was too noisy.
The bad: the hotel is right next to the train station. The first room we had was directly above the train tracks and there was no sleep to be had after the train horns started at 6am. Bring your earplugs and book a high floor. There isn’t much in the way of restaurants in the neighborhood, so you’ll need to venture out a ways to find food.
Thankfully the staff was very kind and moved us to an interior courtyard room. You could still hear the trains, but it was much quieter.

Uncomfortable
The location is great but the bed was very uncomfortable; very very soft mattress and pillows. And the HVAC blow right on your face while in bed.

Very centrally located to many museums.
Very centrally located to many museums and landmarks. Very nice property.
It would have been better to have blankets for the bed. The bed had two sheets and a very thin comforter.
