Nice enough

Nice place, but no on site staff to assist with any issues. I loved the mattress, but was surprised that there was no mini fridge. Also, no daily refresh of the room. We had to reuse the 3 paper cups for several days, which was not ideal.

The room was smaller than advertised. The bed was so small that my wife's feet hang out of the bed. I stood up and hit my head on the gaint TV in this small room. I left the room on Saturday and checked into a different hotel.

The room is a bit dated and really could use new carpeting. Other than that it was very nice and convenient to metro and many restaurants, bars, etc.

There was no sound insulation between room 204 and the lobby area, and no staff to monitor the behavior in the lobby. No concierge is not a hotel. It should not be listed as one.

Not what we expected

No front desk, had to enter using a code. No fridge in the rooms, only a public fridge on the main floor. No water fountains either. Luckily there was a 711 a block away though. Room was very small and bathroom had no hooks for the towels. Would not stay here again.

We picked the hotel for location and price. Everything was clean and check in was seamless. For the price point you can’t get much better if you’re looking to stay in DuPont Circle. We’d happily come back if we are in DC again.

Room is fine but needs blackout blinds!

The windows need black out blinds. The lights right outside the window illuminated the room the whole night even with the provided blinds closed.
