8/10 Good
"This is an old hotel. 1st floor is comedy club . You will find a classic elevator that is a bit scary. Hot water in shower takes over five minutes until it gets hot. However, you only pay “classic” standard rate. This is the most reasonably priced hotel In DuPont circle. Great hotel for budget travelers!"

"Perfect location for budget consious travelers who life a variety of cafe and food. The transit system is convenient and the location is very walkable during the day and in the evening! Staff are open to help and answer questions for new travelers to DC. The room was cold, though tollerable--My one complaint was that I couldn't adjust the thermostat. --Most importantly, the bedding and towels were clean! I stayed for a short stay and upon checkout I can honestly say the experience met my travel expectations! Thanks."
