This hotel is far from perfect but may be the ideal hotel for a stay in D.C. I booked a room online at an exceptionally low price, similar to what you would expect to pay for a crummy old motel in the suburbs. For this price I got a very spacious room, FREE PARKING with unlimited in and out privileges (worth at least $30 per day in this area of DC), and a good location in a safe, upscale neighborhood within walking distance of shops and restaurant, and a shuttle ever 30 minutes to red line metro. If I had paid a lot, I would mention that it would have been nice to have a luggage rack in the room and paper and pencils near the phones for messages. And the room was ready for a redecorating but acceptable to me and far better than most typical chain motel type properties. But the value and the location cancel out such minor quibbles. Unless you are really picky you will like this hotel, especially if you get it at a good rate.

Hotel room is very nice. With a fridge and parking included it's great value and convenience. Location is great for going anywhere; good walking areas in neighborhood. Free wifi was fine on my personal Apple products but strength on work Blackberry and PC were too low to be usuable. Staff is helpful and efficient. I would stay again!

The title says it all.

Pros:
it is priced reasonably.
It also comes with free Wifi, fee parking.
rooms have a dorm size refrig.
it is very close to whole foods.

Neutral:
Location. Good location. Close to GT and down town. but not in the middle of thing. you still need to drive or take a cab.

Negative:
Bathroom are clean but cheaply renovated ( ikea style), shower stall very small.
Old loud AC/ Heating unit in each room.
Hallway have a smell of old food( smells like left over kabob or currry).

Recommend for a couple of night if on a business trip. I would not stay here for leisure.

I visited this property during Homecoming week for Howard University. Although I have AAA, I was able to get a better price through booking.com. I had to pre-pay to get the better deal, however. I was disappointed when I got there and the clerk told me that I was booked for a room with 2 queen beds. I had requested, and confirmed, with booking.com that I wanted a king room. The clerk said that the information they’d gotten from booking.com was for a 2-bed room. So I will go back to using AAA.
The lobby and restaurant area were among the smallest I’d ever seen, although they were well kept. The staff was friendly, and very helpful. Parking in the underground garage is free. I suppose this is for security reasons, but the elevator operation requires the scanning of your hotel room card. This also applies when you go to the garage. I had to get accustomed to this procedure; as a claustrophobic, it made me a little nervous when the doors closed and I still had not gotten the green light to push the floor I needed.
The pattern of the rooms upstairs suggested to me that the hotel had been refurbished. If so, they’d done a good job with the updating. The carpeting in the hall was starting to look a little worn. No meals are included with the stay, but compared to other restaurants in the area, I thought the prices were reasonable. I ordered dessert and a drink while I was there.
