The receptionist kept telling me I could check in shortly.After 30 mins I had to change in the toilet to make my meeting. 4 pm is far too late a check in time and the basement rooms are not clearly marked. Parking nearer is$45 overnight which is a lot! The ceiling in my room had damp! Other than that its quickly with a good vibe on the top floor

The hotel was clean and the rooftop bar/restaurant is surprisingly cozy, good, and reasonably priced. It's a cute Bohemian vibe and the room was nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable. They had some maintenance issues, the sink drained really slowly, the toilet paper holder was broken, the shower didn't quite get hot even though the sink did, and the Ethernet connection to the TV wasn't working. Walls are quite thin and the hotel can be noisy. I heard other people's alarm clocks and things. It's a decent hotel in D.C. for the price.

The hotel was comfortable and room was nice. There was too much bar and street noice however. I would definitely return for a weekday stage when it is quieter.

The hotel itself was really nice, clean but the room was a bit small. I didn’t like the lack of parking, we had to pay $45 just to park overnight because there was no spots available.

Nice hotel and a pretty good location if you are bringing a dog. The only down side was that the cafe was never open at 8am when it was supposed to be. But there are other cafes open nearby (5 min walk)

Cute boutique hotel!:) Clean & a nice to place to sleep. My only grip with the place was that the air conditioning was broken when we stayed there (during 3 days of humid 100 degree weather). Also plan to bring a white noise machine or ear plugs cause both the interior & exterior walls are super thin. You can hear everything on the street & in the next room. Other than that it was a good stay.

Lovely Weekend Getaway
The lobby was undergoing some cosmetic changes when we arrived so check-in was fairly hectic. The Hotel also had a different name when we booked it, to what it is now. We also had to call the front desk around 3-4 times to have someone come up to our room to look at the air conditioning situation because while it was eco-friendly, it was very difficult to figure out. Overall, the hotel was really cute. It was perfect for a couple taking a weekend getaway, and the location cannot be topped. There are so mant restaurants and stores and things to do that are within walking distance. Having a rooftop bar as an option was lovely, as well. The only qualm we had with it was that the music was very loud.

Hoping the service catches up to its potential
I love the location and potential of the space. I will keep returning (for now). The parking spots were being repaved so entering the driveway was chaotic and I had to explain I was not going to back up into traffic-- the truck would have to pull forward to allow me to access garage. Finally entering lobby the staff was vacuuming and didn’t stop when I entered time between 2 pm and 5 pm has no food or drink options unfortunately but the music in all spaces was way too loud to have any conversation so my client and I went to Pastis instead. No coffee available in lobby until 7 so left and went elsewhere...

I picked this property specifically because of the alleged in-house eating options. The first morning we were told there was no chef available so we couldn’t eat there and had to venture out. The next morning, we saw a small offering of food, but when we moved closer we were told by staff that it was only for a group of people sitting in the dining area. So again, no opportunity to get food in the hotel as promised. Also, the last night of sleep was really uncomfortable because the AC malfunctioned. We woke up to a room that was 84 degrees in the morning. I told the worker at the front desk about both of these issues and she said that a manager would follow up with us via email. I even corrected her when she read my email back to me incorrectly. I’ve yet to hear from any hotel staff. I’d also like to add that being a native Spanish speaker may be the only way to receive welcoming service from some of the staff. There were times when my presence wasn’t even acknowledged (at check in for sure). On a positive note it’s a super cute hotel. The rooftop bar has great food and drinks. However, if the idea of sleeping beneath a nightclub is off putting I wouldn’t stay here. It didn’t bother me because I knew what I was getting into, but it’s something people should be aware of.
