Great Deal
It was a simple hotel in a very nice area from which the national mall was very accessible. Architecture of the building was interesting.

If you want a dark little room, look no further!
Dark little room, window looking at brick wall 5 inches away.

Nice Historic Hotel
I love staying at the Architect hotel when I'm in the office for meetings. The rooms are always clean, the beds are comfortable and customer service is excellent.

Very quaint, with all that you need.
Great and cozy in an older setting. Comfortable rooms with just the right size, and very clean and comfy for quick stays. The concierge team was invaluable and polite, and the location is near the city center, within walking distance of the Metro.

A decent hotel in an amazing location. Room was good-sized and bathroom was huge. Both were spotless. Shower had ample hot water. The air conditioner vacillated between too hot and too cold. I'm glad the hotel had spare blankets!

Affordable stay in the heart of DC
Very good location for the price. Clean room with a lot of towels provided. One minus was the loud AC that kept a creaky noise and bed was not the most comfortable. Very nice stay overall, recommend!

Missing Coffee maker in a Room
The location is fantastic, as it is very close to the White House. It would be, however, much greater experience, if there is a coffee maker in a room. It was very inconvenient to go down to the 1st floor from the 9th floor to get muddy string coffee every morning.

Cute and Convenient
Neat, old hotel with history. Room was small, but cozy. Our view was the building next door, 6 inches away. But that made for a quiet stay. The pillows were pretty bad though, very thin. We would stay again, but probably bring our own pillows.

Lovely place
A very quaint and secluded place within walking distance of plenty of places to eat and sightsee. The room was clean no issue at all very comforting bed. The only issue about the room is the watering system will make it weird noise when you turn the shower on, but besides that a real great place. Also with it being DC of course parking will be an issue

It was fine
Just a place to stay. Clean small rooms. Polite but purely transactional check in. No water or coffee in room. They put a $150 hold on your card above and beyond the room price. Ice machine can be found down in the basement.

It was a basic no frills room. Somewhat comfortable but very noisy. The water pressure was low and difficult maintaining hot water.

The property was uniquely designed, which I liked. Everyone I interacted with at the front desk was helpful and nice. The lobby area, elevators, halls, and my room were all cleaned very nicely. The property is very centrally located, with a Metro stop only a block away. I would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to DC!
