We stayed here for 4 nights to help our daughter move into Howard University. For the purposes of our trip, the hotel was fine. We rented a car, and everywhere we needed to go was 20 minutes or less. Most of the hotel personnel were wonderful; however, there was one VERY rude front desk woman who was just horrible to a foreign couple, who clearly did not speak English well, and who were trying to check in. The cleaning staff forgot to give us fresh towels and soap one day, but the front desk was quick to supply us with towels and soap when we asked. The hotel is at the crossroads of two very busy roads with a number of panhandlers. There is no place to go for a walk right outside the hotel. There is no public transportation from the hotel to downtown DC. If you are traveling to DC to visit the museums, the capitol, Lincoln memorial, etc. and you decide to stay here, I recommend you use uber or lyft to get to the hotel and to then get dropped off downtown. Parking downtown is a hot mess, so I wouldn't rent a car unless you plan to also take day trips into VA and MD.

There was hair in the bathroom. The tub didn't drain. It was located a block from a police station. There were sirens going off all day/night. The fire alarm went off. There was no warning about it being tested so not sure if it was a malfunction or someone thought it'd be funny to pull it. The room smelled like smoke. My room key card didn't work. When I asked the front desk staff for a working key card, she was agitated and hateful. I decided to only stay one night of my 6-night reservation. I was told I would be refunded for 5 nights. I had to call 3 times to get my refund to approved on their end. I was told a date the refund was processed but a week after, the refund was not showing on my credit card. Management was not helpful and friendly. My credit card ended up refunding me and contacting the hotel.

This is a really nice hotel. The room was very nice, clean, and had everything I needed. The thing that impressed me the most about this hotel was the staff. I can’t compliment them enough. I had car trouble & they went far above & beyond the call of duty for me. They went out of their way to help me through it, especially the maintenance guy. I extend my utmost gratitude & compliments to the staff for what they did!
