Staff very friendly - always greet us coming and going. Nice little park across the street. The not so great: Couch has stains and shows lots of wear, big beautiful window... More

Stayed here on a quick trip to DC for business. Although it's still up and coming I really liked the area and the proximity to groceries, food, and public transportation. The staff were very friendly and met all my expectations. Food in the restaurant was OK, maybe just a little over priced and not much selection. However, the waitress did... More

Dear JimRector, Thank you for staying with us, and for posting your nice review. Our neighborhood really is up and coming as you mentioned. We opened our hotel 2 years ago in response to the explosive growth in the “NoMa” neighborhood. It seems like every day a new restaurant or shop is opening nearby. I am sorry that you found... More

The hotel itself was great. Very friendly staff that tried their best to accommodate our every need, especially when we were rushed for time when checking out!

This is not your average Hilton Garden Inn and, of course, neither are the room rates. This is a releatively new hotel. It is very convenient to capitol hill and really gives you a lot for the price.

Only a couple of a metro stops from Union Station, this small, quiet and friendly hotel was great for our family's vacation needs. Our package included breakfast which made our mornings easier and they had a pool for our sons to relax in after a day of sightseeing. The hotel is clean and the staff were friendly.
