I have travelled most of Europe, some of Asia and a lot of the United States. This has been the worst stay of my travels. The hotel location is good. Central foggy bottom district. 3 minute walk to the metro, walkable to white house and Lincoln memorials. Nice area. The hotel however is shocking. It is run down both outside... More

I have been traveling the US for 2 months now, have spent 3 months previously traveling Europe and have never experienced worse accommodation! This place calls itself a hotel... At best it's a hostel. We got placed in a basement room. Only enough room to house our two ROLL AWAY beds and our luggage. A small tv (which didn't work)... More

This hotel is for you if: - you don't mind hair other then yours in the bedsheets upon your arrival - you don't mind the sense-awakening smell of old carpet and pipes. - you enjoy hair in your jam for breakfast - you call breakfast bread with jam and socks juice for coffee (and nothing else). Rest assured, its included.... More

Don't expect more than a room and bed and you won't be disappointed. One night two blocks from daughters appt during graduation for under $100. Why waste money on anything better if all you need is a safe place to sleep. Close enough to GW that safety wa not an issue.

Was going to give it 4 stars for location and convenience but then we were woken up by a MOUSE at 2 am eating our bag!!!!!!!! The receptionist did not seem to care and ignored me when I asked about what was going to be done. They must not clean in between because there was a pile of pubes in... More

My room was full with cockroaches. Wifi only in the lobby - if you can speak of a lobby. I think the service could have been better: not really friendly or open. I strongly recommend to pay a little more for something better. I

paint is peeling everywhere, they have mice traps behind the heaters (never a good sign) and the rooms are pretty shabby. However, it's very cheap and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Also it's in a great location - right near a station, a wholefoods and positioned to be walking distance from Georgetown and the mall. I'd recommend it... More

I stayed there this past weekend. The hotel is fine. It is in a great location down the street from the Lincoln Memorial, the Kennedy Ctr and the Foggy Bottom/GWU subway. The decor is basic (plain room with some shred in carpet) but it's clean (new towels, soap and shampoo provided for day 2). I would stay there again. It's... More

Always a worrying sign when a taxi driver was shocked there would be a hotel at the address.... As you will see elsewhere on here it is a hostel rather than a hotel. The price we paid was excessive for what we received, but all hotels in Washington had put their prices up as it was Inauguration weekend, which is... More
