A good place to be

This was the second place I stayed while on my trip, such a relief from the first. It was clean and quiet and felt safe. No breakfast but I don't eat that anyway.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Room had an extremely strong smell of chemicals upon check in, but didn’t seem like it had been that thoroughly cleaned (dust on carpet, spiderwebs, dirty walls, dirty looking bathroom). After the first night, the chemical smell was replaced by a mildew and wet carpet smell, and it was clear that the hotel has no humidity control. It was extremely moist and uncomfortable, and the smell permeated my luggage after only a 2 night stay. Beds were extremely uncomfortable. Staff was polite, and the location was fine, but I would not stay again.

Excellent for a night away.

For a one night stay when you have plans. This hotel is a budget friendly option. If you just need a place to lay your head, I would recommend for a day trip but not for a week unless you’re really on a budget or traveling alone. The location is excellent. There’s ample on street parking surrounding the in on the weekends. It’s a good 30 minute walk to Dupont Circle or the Lincoln theater.
