Beware of this hotel. First of all they are located on a university campus that is in the SE area of DC. This is not a good area. Staff will tell you that when the sun goes down do not walk around or back to the hotel. Second the staff was the most UNFRIENDLY staff I have encountered in my... more

Whilst the hotel facilities aren't bad (although there is nowhere to eat in or around the hotel after breakfast) and the rooms are a good size we left feeling disappointed. The neighbourhood is NOT good and certainly not safe after dark. Whilst the regular metro shuttle and complimentary hotel shuttle go some way towards overcoming this it is still a... more

The setting is beautiful, calm. The shuttle to the metro is the best thing - It runs bang on schedule - make sure to get a transport pass at reception when you check-in. You can take the bus to Union station, or walk to NY Ave station if you miss the bus - about 10-15min to walk. Though breakfast was... more

We choose this hotel based on the reviews I read on Trip Advisor. We were looking for somewhere reasonable to stay close to the Amtrack Station. This hotel was perfect for that. Quiet location within the University and we also took use of their shuttle service which was great to get to the metro. Neighborhood was not good and we... more

Spent two nights, very comforatable rooms, view of the capital building from room. Center provides a shuttle to and from Union Station or cab service was only around $10 each way, after shuttle hours. Safe covered garage to leave your car, no charge for parking. Neighborhood is depressed but campus is gated with really nice grounds. Good continental breakfast included... more

Don't let the first impression of the surrounding neighborhood dissuade you - you'll be fine! We were so happy w/this hotel. It's just a mile from Union Station. We 3 women walked it 2 or 3 times. We would not do it after dark however. The free shuttle to Union Station was great! The rooms were nice & very quiet.... more

Clean, safe, very friendly staff and a good price compared with other hotels in Washington in the same category. The neighborhood is not the best at all, but inside the campus you're safe. Since I always rent a car when in Washington, what happens around the hotel doesn't bother me. They provide a shuttle service to Union Station (metro) and... more

First off, the hotel itself is very clean and well ordered. My bed was really comfortable, I had the best night's sleep! I felt like I was staying in the middle of nowhere, the cab driver wasn't sure where it was, and once inside the university campus we still had trouble finding it. You need to order a taxi to... more

I stayed here because I was presenting at a conference at the University. The accommodations were great and one could tell they had recently remodeled. Nice decorating in the rooms with historical photos from the University. Comfy king bed. Free wireless internet service. As a presenter, I had the room comp'ed, so I don't know how the value is on... more
