“Modern and Intimate Setting”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 15, 2012

Very modern hotel with chairs hanging from the ceiling and beautiful decorations. Stayed here as a couple and always booked through Hotel Tonight so the room never cost more than $80. The first time we had a suit on one of the top floors with a view of the square. The shower was incredible with twisted walls and an open entrance. The staff was very helpful, moved quickly and had our room ready on time. The second time was in a smaller room, low lighting, bed low to the ground..very cutting-edge. There is a restaurant and bar inside right to the left of the front desk.

There is valet parking right next to the hotel, otherwise you can find parking on the street if you have 20 minutes to kill.

Room Tip: Book through Hotel Tonight the day of.

“Very Cool and Modern”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 14, 2012

I stayed at this hotel with my husband. We had to extend our stay last minute for a conference and our original hotel was full. We stayed here for one night. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was a bit small. Not much space to turn around (I think we had a queen size room). I liked the location of our original hotel better because it was closer to the convention center and restaurants. However, this hotel has a cool, unique and friendly atmosphere. I would splurge for a bigger room next time.

Thanks for your review, Mango_Trees. While there are a just a few small rooms, we do indeed have many room types that are much larger and with what are likely some of the best hotel room views in DC. I'm sorry you only had one night with us as I would have loved to have you experience our standard deluxe king rooms or one of our many upgrades. If you are returning to DC, please contact me so that I may oversee your room selection myself.

Regards,

Mark Jennings

“Nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

Nice stay, the hotel was clean and modern, but the bed was very hard and a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, nice stay and helpful staff. Very very good location, rour room had a view of Thomas Circl which is right outsid the hotel. Metro station is within walking distance and so is everything else really, you can walk pretty much everywhere, but bring comfortable walking shoes!!! All in all good hotel.
