This was so great! It’s definitely a tight space compared to other hotels, but it was perfect for just me, and I think would be great for two as well. Very hip.

a modern approach to hotel stays. not good or bad but different so as i compare the stays with other hotels i feel like its more of a younger person thing. i do like self help but i also like the personal engagement in a traditional hotel. it did feel hip and cool. rooms felt like Japan ie tiny and almost too smart.

Smithsonian Closeness is Main Attraction
This hotel has lots of features squeezed into minimal space: small refrigerated pull out drawer; a safe and a clothes drawer, both located under the king size bed); several hangers; blackout and day curtains. The bathroom, which holds the shower stall and toilet, has liquid bath soap, shampoo and conditioner. The sink and mirror are outside in the room. There is an iPad to control the TV and other things such as lights and curtains. An additional charge of $20 daily for breakfast in modern, trendy decorated lobby and other meals are available, and there is free wifi throughout the building. A Metro station is nearby, and a Catholic church. Numerous federal offices surround the area, but at night and on weekends there is not much going on. Smithsonian museums are within walking distance but for other types of outside activities you have to go elsewhere. You can have the hotel front desk staff (very friendly) hold your bags after checkout without problem.

Dirty and very stained mattress cover and duvet. Got switched to another room and the mattress cover was still stained. Cleaning team said “they change that during their deep cleaning time” but we had just checked in. So it wasn’t done before us either.

A funky version of a hotel, with all the needed amenities, and the motif and functions of space-age technology. Small room that is nonetheless comfortable.

Enjoyed the easy check in/out process and was right around the corner from the train station. Also able to easily walk to the Main Street and get to museums or monuments. Staff was helpful and friendly and you can easily order food from the bar/restaurant downstairs.

Tiny Rooms
I didn't know what to expect when I walked in because you check yourself in AND create your own key card. I was initially "thrown off", but after a little while, I got it. The entire hotel was nearly self serve. The rooms were the tiniest rooms ever, but functional. The bathrooms were kind of weird, but again, functional. It did not take up a lot of space at all. After the initial shock, I appreciated the limited space. The sushi bar was AMAZING! I will certainly go back for that. The decor was "funky". The use of technology was very cool especially with ipads controlling the lights, tv, and room temperature. It was centrally located to where I needed to be and about 1/2 a mile from the Wharf. I will stay there again when in the area.
