  • Overall: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "The location was perfect - only a few blocks from the White House, across the street from a CVS, and plenty of restaurants in the vicinity (I'd recommend Georgia Browns). I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting the DC area." source Travelocity

    "If management took a clue from the bell staff, and also improved the lighting, this could be a great hotel." source Travelocity

    "I travel very frequently and I hope to stay there again." source Travelocity

    "Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd recommend the hotel to anyone who'd like to try something a little different." source Travelocity

    "I would definitely stay there again." source Travelocity

  • Clean: Rating of 4.7 out of 5

    "Best of all was the decor--it is minimalist Scandinavian--clean lines, no clutter--and small amenities were provided, such as a light-stick in the drawer, in case the electricity went out." source Orbitz

    "Undisturbed sleep in a clean room, close to the White House." source Venere

    "The rooms are fresh, spotless, contemporary and very comfortable." source Travelocity

    "If you plan to actually get CLEAN, this cutesy plastic swirl will not do it: the showerhead is directly OVER your head - how water can hit your body, I don't know." source Travelocity

    "The upside is that the staff is accomodating and the rooms well appointed (in a NY modern kind of way) and very, very clean." source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 4.7 out of 5

    "This hotel had couteous and trustworthy service." source Orbitz

    "The hotel was nice and the service was good." source Orbitz

    "Yes to excellent service, comfort, friendly and outragously helpful staff; turn down service, great rooftop pool with lemon water; convenient location to all sights." source Travelocity

    "I think it makes more sense to increase the price of the room by $ than to ask me to pay for wireless service these days." source Travelocity

    "You can only get ice by calling room service, so that costs you tip money." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Great location, nice staff, but could be (much) better." source Venere

    "It's right in downtown, so it's a quick walk anywhere (even the tourist attractions for those interested)." source Travelocity

    "You are in walking distance to the White House (we stumbled upon it by accident on our way to dinner." source Travelocity

    "White House is also walking distance and 20's 30's age people really love that hotel." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "beginning with the front desk staff who were always helpful and courteous, to the room (which had a great view), to the fact that it was convenient to the Metro and there were some excellent restaurants near by." source Venere

    "I found the room comfortable, so deco and loved to be able to see what was happening on the street below. Never made it to the pool, but was the envy of all my co-workers when they visited my lovely room." source Travelocity
