10/10 would stay again
What a lovely, artsy hotel, near so many great DC attractions. The room was basic but clean, with some great tech automation, all managed through the provided tablet. Coffee and breakfast were fantastic, and every staff member/ambassador was very friendly.

Small space: good value
Stayed for one night to run a half marathon; definitely suitable for couples or singles. Would NOT recommend for kids. Very small rooms but nice for travelers on a budget or couples trying to get away for a weekend

Great location, Basic Needs Met
Wonderful location for many museums in DC, Fairly spartan rooms, but with a modern feel. If all one needs is a place to sleep, this is great option. Do not expect frills, but it works for many.

Ok stay for a night near the Mall
Funky hotel with comfortable small space for one or two travelers (not kid friendly). Self check in was confusing, so was the breakfast process. and staff was not very welcoming or helpful. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a difference in a hotel stay, and the cheap toilet paper make that statement for me.
