It was good for 3 nights for America's 250th
Pros:

Everything was really nice. The restaurant downstairs was surprisingly good

Cons:

The TV didn't work and there were enough towel/clothes hooks in the bathroom. The rooftop bar is ugly & old with a terrible view.

Small room, good location.
Pros:

Location was great for food and walking to the metro and the National Mall. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and everything was impeccably clean.

Cons:

Room is very tiny. Mattress was ok, not bad but not great. Bathroom door doesn't close without a large gap- no wonder they give you a sound machine! Shower curtain wasn't long enough, so water leaks onto the floor. I would have really liked a small mini fridge and coffee maker. We tried the rooftop bar, but they had no beers on draft, and prices were high.

Pros:

The room is cosy and easy to reach.

Cons:

It's very noisy in the evening, people are shouting outside, music is playing and there is no noise-cancelling windows.
Moreover, beds are quite small and short, so if you are 1.8m height it may be challenging for you to sleep well.

Pros:

It was loud but they do give you ear plugs and a white noise machine.
I wish the staff knew more about the area. They couldn't give me directions for something that was two blocks away.

Give it a Try
Pros:

The location of the hotel was great, right across from the Gallery Pl-Chinatown metro station. Many options for restaurants and access to the hotel's bar.

Cons:

Rooms are quite small and does not have a microwave or refrigerator in the room. Have to squeeze pass each other to move around. The elevators are a bit confusing, one goes up to the roof top bar, but have to transfer to a different one to go back to the room.

Wonderful and great stay!
Pros:

Happy hour deal was fantastic!
Food and drinks are 5 star!
Hotel is well maintained.
Right to the heart of Chinatown.

Cons:

Not really did not like but maybe something to improve in the future:

1. Shower curtain is a little shorter to prevent wet washroom floor especially its a small washroom.
2. For added safety cameras in the hallway?
3. Water refilling station to every floor.
