Very cosy and friendly. It is not modern, it is better, it has something historic about it. Even with fireplace in our large room. Unbeatable for the price witch was around 100 USD for 4 people.
This place was so cute and in a fabulous location. It was quaint and clean with lovely staff and quirky decor.

Disliked: Amenities
Room looked clean. It had a window mounted A/C which kept the room cool on a hot day. There were a lot of stairs and no elevator. It also had additional wonky 4 sided step platform. It is impossible to not take steps to your room along with carrying your luggage. It wasn’t awful but I would choose a hotel with elevators especially if my room is on a high floor.
Clean and convenient. Majority of staff (save one at the front) were pleasant and helpful. Aside from key swipe to get into my room never working, all was fine. And yes, the AC worked, which was crucial, given the temp was ~100 degrees F most of my visit!
This was the second place I stayed while on my trip, such a relief from the first. It was clean and quiet and felt safe. No breakfast but I don't eat that anyway.

Nice service and great location. Pretty patio out front. Rooms and building are ‘historic’ but clean and comfy.
I enjoyed the vintage feel of the hotel, and the staff was very friendly. Great neighborhood too. Downsides are that it's not too close to the metro and there's not many options for parking long-term nearby.

Excellent for a night away.
For a one night stay when you have plans. This hotel is a budget friendly option. If you just need a place to lay your head, I would recommend for a day trip but not for a week unless you’re really on a budget or traveling alone. The location is excellent. There’s ample on street parking surrounding the in on the weekends. It’s a good 30 minute walk to Dupont Circle or the Lincoln theater.
