The area has some quick restuarants very close. About a five minute walk is the Dupont Circle area with lots of restuarants, entertainment and convenience stores. The hotel is older/dated with zero amenities. Beds are average at best but the area is very quiet and very safe.

2/10 Poor

The hotel was closed and had been for some time due to plumbing problems. I got to the hotel and read a notice on the front door that it was closed. I had not been notified in advance of the closure or that I’d been rebooked a room in a sister hotel in another part of the city. It really was a most unpleasant experience.

Cosy, easy, friendly, just go for it.

Very cosy and friendly. It is not modern, it is better, it has something historic about it. Even with fireplace in our large room. Unbeatable for the price witch was around 100 USD for 4 people.
