Mostly Perfect
Check in was flawless, room was clean and comfortable. Price was right and location is ideal. The lobby bar is a great amenity. Parking is an issue and needs to be arranged in advance of arrival. Bathroom situation in the room is not ideal with the virtually "see thru" door. For 1 person, it's perfect, but for 2 people in one room it's awkward at best. Therefore, "Mostly Perfect"

Poor choice for me.
The photos and ratings misled me here. I was looking for a cozy vibe. The room was the smallest I have ever stayed in, good condition but tiny. The noise from the street was awful, just awful. There were also several noisy patrons but I suppose that's not the hotel's fault. The neighborhood is centrally located but pretty sketchy.
The staff were all super nice and helpful. Coffee shop was out of coffee beans. Restaurant eggs were poorly cooked, bacon you could read a newspaper through. The breakfast sandwich the second day was good.
Ultimately I felt like I was at a youth hostel for adults, not the 'Hilton' experience I was expecting.
Stay if you need the location or price but not if you are looking for a vibe or nice room.

Convenient location - close to Metro stop and capital one stadium. Neighborhood felt safe and active at all times of day. A no frills micro-hotel which worked for me since I was at a meeting all day.

Perfect place to stay if you're in town for a Caps game or just the night. Reasonably priced rooms, great location close to restaurants and venues. Will come back

Easy check in with great staff. Clean and comfortable. We knew...but some don't ...this is a simple BR and BA. Don't expect a normal hotel room. But it's very nice otherwise!

A good place for a brief stay
This hotel is ok for 1or 2 night stay . The room is very small and the AC was loud all day long so it is not comfortable for staying longer. The staff are very friendly and the room is clean . They did allow me to check in earlier which really helped.
