My favorite hotel in DC. Staff is exceptional, Tina, Baby, Danny, Reyna and the housekeeping staff make every visit wonderful. The restaurant and the coffee shop are top notch. Best value and experience in DC!
The hotel room was spacious and clean. The location was great and I had a great salad at the hotel restaurant. The hard part was that the hotel changed over from the Generator Hotel to the Rendale Hotel with new management during the weekend that I stayed there. There was confusion.
Very clean room, budget-friendly, excellent service

We definitely enjoyed our stay. It's a very walkable area. The morning baristas were very kind and great coffee or breakfast made right in your hotel lobby. That's a bonus in my book! We would book again.

I arrived at the front desk and was given a key that did now work. Had to get down and get a working one. Was charged $30 extra at checkin for nothing. The room was at 81 F! Had to go down again and ask for someone to come up and turn on the A/C. There was no regular bed in the room, 4 bunkbeds!!! Location of the hotel is great.
The room was great for the money it had everything we needed. Can be noisy at time but had ear plugs so not a problem. We carry then in every hotel now as you never know. It was an ideal location for the event we were attending.

I found the bed and bedding comfortable and the shower quite good! Hot water came up to the 9 th floor sink & shower quickly and consistently. Drinking glasses and a coffee maker were missed items, typically found in hotel rooms at this price point. The lobby is bright and welcoming but the decor of the hallway leading to my room was sort of dark and dreary and could use some brightening up. Overall, a good convenient choice.

Comfortable room, convenient safe location about ten minute walk from Dupont Circle Metro station, lots of restaurants nearby, friendly staff, nice lobby for sittting or meetings, cozy cafe although a bit pricey. And a pool- always a treat!
It was a shared room with three roommates. We all got along fine. The front desk staff, Tina and Audrey were wonderful and actually remembered my name. They made my stay wonderful! Also, the maid that cleaned our room had the opportunity to take my watch that I’m mistakenly left on the tub. Very honest and kind. Nothing but good to share her about my experience here.
