Nice stay, I’d choose them again.
Very nice hotel. The room was cute and clean. The front desk service at check-in and checkout was excellent. The food from the restaurant was very good as well. Even though in requested no onions on my burger and still got them and had to remove them, it was very tasty.

Great location and handy for the city
Great place very handy for all the main sites with plenty of eatery places within walking distance. The bar and front desk area are a little cold but the rooms are spacious and the bed comfortable. Buses to the city stop on the roundabout outside the hotel and there is a 24 hour store across the road. Just a small concern is that they take your credit card on arrival and take $500 off it straight away. When you leave they add $131.00 to your bill for services such as wi-fi and water in your room whether you ask for it or not.

Great place in great location
A hidden gem in a great location. The rooms are small, as to be expected in a large city boutique hotel; but they are fantastic. Comfy bed. Great little restaurant downstairs. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

8/10 Very good

Hotel is very nice and comfortable. Bartender not real friendly. Would not switch gin out for vodka on request. Was told it was a theme or vibe drink and couldn’t do it. For as high as cocktails cost there shouldn’t be any debate to do this. Overall very good hotel.

Conveniently positioned for tourists visting DC
Lovely hotel in very convenient position, half a mile walk from the White House and so only a mile from the Washington Monument and The Mall. Limited restaurant offering but plenty of options close by. Check in was great, as was the maid service, but we gave 3 stars overall for service as the breakfast service was very poor, even though there were only 6 other people eating, and 4 of those arrived after us! The cooked food was fine, but no tip on the breakfast tab as a result of the slow and indifferent bar staff.
