We needed some help w thae air conditioner. NAZZ came over at midnight and got us squared away. Very friendly and stayed to make sure that it was working. A light switch was also going crazy and it was fixed within 15 mins. I highly recommend.

This hotel is in Adams Morgan and is walkable to restaurants bars and pharmacies. There's even a farmers market on the weekend. Staff was nice and our room was comfortable. I didn't hear any other guests. They had toiletries available in the lobby with an array of tea to choose from. Coffee was always available. There could be a little update to the room seating such as a small rather than a folding chair to improve the decor in the queen room. The toilet could've also been cleaner and the toilet bowl cleaner brush and holder were stained. There was a vending machine available and ironing supplies were in the lobby. It was good for a short stay. Parking wasn't ideal but we found steer parking.

Great location and a very clean hotel with friendly staff. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they worked perfectly for me. I’d definitely stay here again next time.
