Good for a short, cheap stay in a nice neighborhood
Pros:

The price and location of this hotel are great. The hotel has a real vintage feel which is kind of cute - it's definitely not a sterile chain. The staff I spoke to were friendly.

Cons:

I was in a basement room that was in a kind of alley, which was a unique experience. There are basement rooms in the building, but also several when you go out another door -- the rooms are along the wall like in a motel. There were blinds on the door, but a light just outside was very bright. Luckily I had a sleep mask. The bed was a bit too soft for my liking, and fine for one person but would have been small for two. This hotel was OK for one night but I wouldn't stay much more.

Pros:

Zimmergröße, Badezimmer, separates Waschbecken.

Cons:

Nur 1 Stuhl im 4-Personenzimmer.
Das Zimmer war zur Straße gelegen und man hört den Verkehr bei geschlossenem Fenster sehr. Da es eine viel befahrene Straße ist, war es ziemlich laut.

Pros:

Alue oli siistiä ja kauniita rakennuksia.
Julkisilla pääsi hyvin liikkumaan.
Vanhan ajan rakennus viehätti.

Cons:

Hotellihuone todella pieni, lisäksi wc:n pesuallas laitettu huoneeseen (kun ei mahtunut sinne).
Ei vaatekaappeja, riippumaan sai kahteen hengariin.
Henkilökunta ei osannut neuvoa kahviloita, ruokapaikkoja tai busseja, ei ollut myöskään karttoja.
Käytävän äänet kuuluivat huoneeseen täysin.

Schlecht!!
Pros:

Lage war ok

Cons:

Alles total alt und abgewohnt, Fenster nicht zu öffnen, alter schmutziger Teppich, morgens ca. 7.00 noch kein Kaffee, erst ab ca. 8 Uhr. Für unseren Anspruch eine Katastrophe!!

Cons:

Well it's hard to say but people don't care about life when you can't walk outside before you arepeople stocked by the Illuminati Freemasons and I'm sure you guys are in all that so that's one thing I don't like it what happened while I was at your motel

一整排剛好都是可愛的房子，櫃檯服務態度很好，房間蠻大的，但隔音不太好，沒有電梯，地理位置不錯，外面有公車可以到白宮
Pros:

房間比想像中的大很多

Cons:

隔音不佳，門縫有點大，但還好大家在休息時間都蠻安靜的

Cute hotel in a great neighborhood with uncomfortable beds.
Pros:

The location is fantastic. The hotel is right by the U St Corridor which has a bunch of fun restaurants and shops and is very walkable. The hotel is clean. As others have mentioned, there's no elevator but there is AC. The rooms are small but have what you need.

Cons:

The mattress in our room was ancient and had huge holes where a million people had slept and was very uncomfortable. The TV in our room also didn't work. someone came to fix it our second day but it still only barely worked.
