Good location... parking absolutely sux during week. But its a cool place .purdy sure mirrors used to confuse the spirits.
Really disappointing (especially if you're expecting anything more than a place to crash). Rooms were old and dingy. Didn't feel safe. Staff was cold and didn't offer secure baggage storage.
Old style hotel near DuPont circle. OK, but small rooms, noisy aircon, no breakfast. But nice beer joint at the ground floor.
Overall a good hotel to stay. Some of the staffs are very very helpful. A few are a bit cold though. Great location. Good service. Satisfactory and safe.
The service was average. Nothing exceptional.
They didn't let us check in early, which is acceptable as we didn't request for it.
They gave us a room on the ground floor on our request. They did inform us that they have a bar on the ground floor which might get noisy and asked us to check the room before we confirm, which was nice.
They also helped us with the directions around and were very cooperative with their service.
The issues started after we checked into the room, we found 2 spiders, 1 ant and a bug in the room. Very creepy.
There were also 2 blood drops in the carpet, which was very unhygienic.
Service - Good
Rooms - Not good
The rooms here are small, and the entire hotel is out of date. We arrived and couldn't find parking and didn't know how the parking worked here. We ended having to park about 10 minute walk away from the hotel. We carried our luggage here, and upon walking into the hotel we were hit with a huge amount of smoke smell. The bar and hotel entrance were the same. The front desk attendant was very slow and unhelpful. He didn't even activate our room cards, we got all the way up to our room and they didn't work. The room is small, the bathroom looks like it was previously a closet and the furniture and decor is out dated. On the positive side, the hotel is close to many restaurants and they are within walking distance.
Desk person specifically said specialty coffees like mocha and latte were available for room service but that was false. We were charged for a valet parking night we never used; that's uncool. Also the bar needs better beer. Finally, $6.60 for mini bar Coke! The prices here were outrageous, I feel like all they wanted was my money and not provide good service.
They added cable TV and a window unit to an old...... Hotel not to bad but still a little pricey
PS. Has a cool turn of the century elevator to finish off the old timer feel
Hotel staff was rude and unhelpful. Me and my parents, seniors, had a 4th floor room. Upon arrival, all we needed was a little help opening the elevator's door (as it is an old one) to get our luggage inside it, but we got nothing but an eyebrow-raising-stare and some giggles.
Other than that, the hotel has a great location and an overall vintage ambiance. Hotel rooms were decent, although some furniture were dated. Breakfast was not included and was terrible.
I wasn't sure what to expect, as Google showed a fantastic rate through a hostel web site that was half of what the other travel sites were offering. When I arrived, I was given a small private room with private bath. The amenities are sparse, but it was clean and fairly quiet and turned out to be a great place to stay for 3 days on a budget. The neighborhood is great, and I felt safe even later at night and early morning. PLEASE NOTE that you may not be happy if you rely on an elevator for your luggage or for less-spry members of your party, and in that case you may want to consider one of the other pricier hotels nearby.
Stayed there in December 2015.
The good: The cleaning service was amazing. Everytime I came back in the evening the room smelled fresh and clean. The bed was good.
The bad: I could hear the noise all the way from the bar in the basement every night until 1 am. Once somebody tried to get inside my room and the hotel couldn't care less when I made the observation. The bathroom had a huge purple stain on one of the walls the needed to be painted over. Small room.
The hotel provided wonderful accommodation for the one night we stayed there. Room has enough space for me and my friend and it's all at an affordable price. The only problem we had was that the headboard feel off of the wall in the morning after we woke up
