A good base to explore DC with
Pros:

I like how conveniently close it is to a metro station and many great restaurants and cafe. The staff are also very friendly. I had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay amid the sweltering heat in DC!

Cons:

The glass door in the shower only closes halfway, so the floor outside will get wet (but they have a towel that you can put just outside).

Mr High is a hotel treasure.
Pros:

Mr Michael High- concierge. This outstanding gentleman explained the hotel, the neighborhood (right down to best coffee shop), helped acquire museum tickets, and greeted my family warmly. Excellent location in more quiet DC area, with multiple excellent restaurants, children’s playground, bookstores and yet easy assess to more famous Washington sites. Very good breakfast at fair price. I would go back- solid.

Warm and fun atmosphere
Pros:

If I could rate a place or person based on integrity, I would give this place a 10/5! I left my wedding ring after checkout, and the front service desk representative, Mariah, and security team rep, Ernesto, kept it secured and returned it to me.

The hotel is located in the circle by cute coffee shops and restaurants. It’s a great area to walk around and soak up the DC hospitality and creativity.

Highly recommend
