This is an older property that has been renovated, but is still quirky when it comes to some things. The room is clean, but the mattress is worn, and the pillows are very thin. There is coffee on the first floor but the vending was out of order. The have a TV guide for the channels but it does not match the Firestick on the TV. The staff when I asked for assistance, seemed bothered.

Generally good with bed comfortable but would have benefitted with a couple of softer pillows. The room was clean but a little claustrophobic with the window being only inches away from the next building. The location was good being close to the Whitehouse.

Room was small but clean, looks recently updated and very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again and found it to be a very good value.

The location is fantastic, as it is very close to the White House. It would be, however, much greater experience, if there is a coffee maker in a room. It was very inconvenient to go down to the 1st floor from the 9th floor to get muddy string coffee every morning.

It was perfect for a single person who needs a place to keep their belongings and a safe place to sleep.

A decent hotel in an amazing location. Room was good-sized and bathroom was huge. Both were spotless. Shower had ample hot water. The air conditioner vacillated between too hot and too cold. I'm glad the hotel had spare blankets!

It was a simple hotel in a very nice area from which the national mall was very accessible. Architecture of the building was interesting.

Just a place to stay. Clean small rooms. Polite but purely transactional check in. No water or coffee in room. They put a $150 hold on your card above and beyond the room price. Ice machine can be found down in the basement.

Well I'm going to be completely honest with you I was at the lobby and two Secret Service agents came in handsome guys and they smiled at me and they went to the front desk and I was on my phone and I'm like that's well why would these guys look back at me and smile I further hear very well and I heard them tell them tell the front desk agent that they were secret agents and that they are looking for an Andrew Lima and the customer service or the front desk manager whatever she was the agent the customer service rep just someone at the front desk she opens the computer and she literally prints out any details of Andrew Lima that took place and she had it to them and they said thank you very much do not tell anyone we're looking for them that we asked about this and they walked out with all of the information on Andrew Lima I don't know who he is but all I know is I'll never stay there again and this is the case in the previous Hotel I stayed at and then another dynamic

Neat, old hotel with history. Room was small, but cozy. Our view was the building next door, 6 inches away. But that made for a quiet stay. The pillows were pretty bad though, very thin. We would stay again, but probably bring our own pillows.
