Great hotel but somehow there’s a bug issue.
Pros:

Great room. Friendly staff. Very helpful.

Cons:

I woke up every morning with more bite marks. They didn’t look like bed bugs. I don’t want to believe that it was the hotel but I want to bed with a known number of bite marks and woke up with more.

Ok but needs to work doing to it
Pros:

Location is great and only a short walk to the White House

Cons:

Hotel is dated and some of the fixtures were broken, or on the verge of breaking. Also all I could hear was the sound of AC units of an evening. TV wasn’t working property and it was pot luck what channel you got.

Very enjoyable - I will return again very soon!
Pros:

The room was great, the only issue was the in-room safe was not working and i had the same issue when I visited back in May, different room but we had issues with the safe!
The location is excellent I travelled from NY by train and then jumped on the Metro to DuPont Circle, couldn't have been easier.

Cons:

I really can't think of anything negative to say about this hotel, my experiences so far have been great and I would highly recommend staying there.
