The pluses: the room was clean, and the free breakfast on weekdays was appreciated. Location was convenient for what I needed, though the China town area was seedier than I recalled.
The minuses: we had one front desk reception person who was very friendly, and she was helpful. Others came off as disinterested, aloof, or rude.

Very happy with this hotel its in a descent area of DC there's plenty of places to eat. Chinatown about 10 min easy walk as well as Convention center Metro stop or Gallery Place in China Town. Large room microwave refrigerator big bathroom and very clean. Breakfast is typical HI exp loads to choose from eggs sausage breads bacon pancake machine. I didn't write his name down Im so sorry but the man that runs the breakfast is a superstar. He talks to everyone made people of all types smile , gave me a good feeling going out that day. Well done !
Tea coffee in lobby all day and a machine in the room.
Ill be back

Everything was fine except house cleaning. We were told if you want clean towels everyday you have to put your dirty ones outside the door. That worked until the weekend then we didn’t get anything and no garbage pick up. Front desk was awesome, friendly and helpful. Nice having a free breakfast every morning.

Excellent location near to everything, comfortable and spacious rooms. Full breakfast bar. Only issue was cleaning service didn't happen until 6 pm, when we were already back from the day. The busiest breakfast buffet I've ever seen.

My stay could be better if the staff was more friendly and attentive. We were a family of four in a room and only have 3 sets of towels. I told the front desk and they said they would bring another one and they never did. Next morning i had to go down and pick it up

The room was clean and comfortable. It was what I needed for the weekend to enjoy the cherry blossoms. It was well located where I was able to walk to most places and had really good restaurants near by.

We had a great stay. Excellent (for this price point; hence the 4 stars rather than 5). The room was updated and clean. Front desk staff and housekeeping were kind and responsive. Breakfast was better than expected for an included/free meal. We would definitely stay here again!
