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!

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

It was fine
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.

Secret agents following me and other guests
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

Cute and Convenient
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.

Didn't work for us
The room was small but livable and looked clean. The air quality was unbearable with the deodorizer. (Fabreeze or similar) We were in the room for less than an hour and left. It was midnight and didn't feel like arguing and just left. As some of the other comments suggested and I didn't believe it, to check in, you had to interrupt the front desk person who was outside getting high.

Very quaint, with all that you need.
Great and cozy in an older setting. Comfortable rooms with just the right size, and very clean and comfy for quick stays. The concierge team was invaluable and polite, and the location is near the city center, within walking distance of the Metro.

It was a basic no frills room. Somewhat comfortable but very noisy. The water pressure was low and difficult maintaining hot water.

Lovely place
A very quaint and secluded place within walking distance of plenty of places to eat and sightsee. The room was clean no issue at all very comforting bed. The only issue about the room is the watering system will make it weird noise when you turn the shower on, but besides that a real great place. Also with it being DC of course parking will be an issue
