    "Would stay there again." source Venere

  • Clean: Rating of 3.2 out of 5

    ") but was clean." source Venere

  • Service: Rating of 3.3 out of 5

    "No Internet service, though description says it's there." source Venere

    "The service was awful and management didn't help." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "I was pleased with the combination of price and location - very reasonable for a last minute booking for DC." source Orbitz

    "Very nice public library/sitting area with computer access." source Priceline

    "Despite that rather bizarre occurrence, I would still rate the hotel as a decent value as it is only a short walk from Dupont Circle with lots of great restaurants nearby in a quiet neighborhood and with a large, spacious room with free wireless and a frig." source Venere

    "Not accessible, steps from side walk up to hotel then up to reception area." source Travelocity

    "Walking distance to Dupont Circle nice." source Orbitz

  • Value: Rating of 2.8 out of 5

    "My wife and I were looking for a simple and reasonably priced hotel for just 1 night in Washington, not too far from downtown." source Venere

  • Room: Rating of 2.4 out of 5

    "No parking except three blocks away in a public lot that was underground but didn't open till 7am, no where to park in which to unload your car, lots of steps to the entrance and no elevator and many steps to second floor room." source Priceline

    "The room is very small, not for a family (although there are 2 double beds). The sink is inside the room (and not inside the toillette) and no room for laugage in the room." source Venere

    "My room was tiny, cramped and in disrepair." source Travelocity

    "Air conditioning is very bad, the thermostats are in other guest rooms, so we had no control over room temperature or on/off." source Priceline

    "The room quality was poor. The biggest problem was that I could hear everything coming from nearby rooms including a fundamentalist sermon that lasted until midnight." source Venere
