Please read the other negative reviews - they are all 100% accurate. I am not sure what positives anyone could possible find in this hotel. It is in a bad area of town, it has zero security and has a really bad history.
The first thing I noticed when I arrived in my room was the railroad noise. Upon opening the curtains I noticed the railway is about 30 yards from my window. As I tried to rest before my evening meetings I could not believe how much activity the railway had. In one of the reviews I just read I noticed the person mentioned minimal rail traffic. Well let me tell you that either that person cannot hear or the rail traffic has picked up considerably since they visited. The traffic is frequent and loud!
My first morning cab ride into town the cab driver asked me how the place was, I told him that I was not impressed at all - he then asked me if anyone knocked on my door last night and I responded "no", but why do you ask. Well just before the renovation this hotel was known in town as the place that lady's frequent and the pimps would hang out close by. For obvious reasons this made me a bit nervous in returning each night to the hotel, so I probably started to notice more and more items each day. One very obvious weakness of this hotel is that it has zero security nor any measures taken in order to protect its clients. I would frequently return around 12a-130a and walk straight thru the auto sliding doors, right past the front desk and into the elevator with no one asking me to show a key nor do you have to use a key until you reach your own door.
The breakfast room was an absolute disaster each morning no matter time you arrived. It almost seemed more like a soup kitchen with the mess, amount of people, and never a place to sit. So each morning I would grab something really quick as I dodged people so I was not run over.
Once again - do yourself a favor and stay and pay somewhere else. What you save is not worth it in my opinion.

We picked this hotel for its price, "proximity" to DC and the fact we could get a rollaway bed. Agreeing with the other reviews about the neighborhood not being the best. But I never felt unsafe nor did I see unquestionable characters in the lobby.

But in spite of the cleanliness of the rooms I was not impressed and would not recommend this hotel. It took 3 calls to get the rollaway bed up to the room. The lamp light didn't work, nor did the remote control for the TV (did you know there's no volume buttons on the actual TVs anymore?!). The frig clicked all night long. The internet was down. And coffee and juice machines broke for breakfast day #2.

Thankfully we didn't spend time in the room other than to sleep and shower. Wouldn't really have wanted to... but like I said, we got what we paid for... and my husband (who booked the room in the first place) still felt like it was a good deal compared to the other options.

The hotel was very good for the price. Many other hotels wanted 2x the price for the rooms in DC. The street level location is gritty. But we had no real encounters with anyone on the street. The best thing we liked was clean rooms, I'm a contractor and these appeared to be recently updated.
The continental breakfast area was crowded during serving but the staff kept the food available, the food that was suppose to be hot was hot and the drinks that are suppose to be cold were cold.
What we liked least was exercise room facility, minimum equipment available.
I would stay here again.

Not the best neighborhood but Fast Food a plenty nearby, McDonalds, Subway, KFC/TacoBell, Checker (Burger place) all within 5 min walk but daylight hours recommended. Bus stop is about 150 yards from the edge of the property. The D4 bus from Union Station. The very end of the Metro D4 line. They advertise High Speed internet but it is nothing more than wireless. There is no hardwire. I averaged 54 in the off times and 48 during peak. And finally the most important part for most executives is the liquor store directly across the street. Complete with wino panhandlers. A block from a homeless shelter. The place is an average Indian run stay. They do have a security guard in the lobby. A cab from here to 16th and K, was $13. That is just a couple blocks from the Whitehouse. No bugs, good A/C the usual (What I affectionately refer to as "urinal koolaid" smell") sickeningly sweet that is uniquely an Indian smell permeates everything but I guess it's better than carpet fresh. There was a safe in the room but it did not work and they did not seem eager to fix it. The staff was friendly and did help with travel information. i.e. bus, metro info. The Florida Avenue Metro station is a two mile walk so don't plan on it. From here it is a bus or cab. Cab only took about 15 minutes after we called them. I think I would find something a few blocks closer to town the next time if I could but for the price I guess it was a fair deal. I have been stuck in worse. At least they don't hand you a can of Raid with the room key.

Room beds were firm and comfortable. Refrigerator Microwave and a coffee pot make it a better value. Not much in the way of drawers.Two Medium sized. TV was 32 inch flat screen. Train Tracks behind the hotel but it is all above ground so no horns or anything but the clank, clank of the light rail. My room was in the front so I don't know if you can hear it in the back rooms.

They DO have a laundry facility to do it yourself. Also a plus.
Despite the visual of the neighborhood I never once felt unsafe.

There were some guest on the bus with young teen kids and they appeared to have no fear either and were finding the value worthwhile so make you own decisions but hopefully with this information your eyes are completely open.
