Very nice property and the upgrade to a larger room when I booked through Expedia was great. The room itself was spacious but missing a few things - no tissues, not enough towels, no body wash, etc but overall the sheets smelled great, the room was clean and we slept well.

Good room but towels should be replaced

A great hotel room but the towels were old and rough, which was a bummer after a really nice shower.

Great location - near the metro and a Whole Foods and the rooms have refrigerators. The rooms were clean - though the carpet looks like it is ready for a refresh. At times there was noise from the room next door. I would stay here again, but would have more modest expectations

Check in process slow

I booked 3 rooms, per hotel.com website I had to put the name of each occupant per room. When we arrived at the hotel they could only find 1 room with my name… they didn’t know to check for each name. Waited 20 minutes and then they told me i had to call hotels.com -they finally figured it out but check in wasn’t smooth

Meh

If you stay here in the winter, make sure you dont get one of the rooms over the parking garage. The floor was ice cold, even with the heat cranked. I used the blow dryer to warm my feet after standing in the bathroom. The pipes under the shower froze our last night, so we couldn't shower before departing. Parking is $60 per night, the food offerings are those of a vending machine. Bed was comfortable. Location is nice.

You get what you pay for

This is an alright hotel right next to the Metro, restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores. My room was spacious and clean, but it had a few issues with it. The bathroom needed some repairs with the walls, and some of the provided towels had stains from previous uses (they had been washed, of course). The heater unit was dusty and spewed dust into the room when the heat turns on, and I can only hope this was just an issue with my room and not with all of the rooms. The walls are very thin, but you can check out a fan to help drown out noise. Check-in went well, but I was miffed by the fact that an early check-in costs $28. If the room is ready, I don't see a reason why it makes a difference in what I pay. This was the first hotel I've been to in a few years that actually charged for an early check-in. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for, and it's alright for what you pay.

This hotel had a modern twist on an older building. My old complaint is if you stay on the bottom floor where our original room was, it has poor ventilation and evidence of water damage. I didn’t see mold or anything but it definitely had a basement feel. Since my husband has allergies we thought it would be a good ideal to get a different room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating!
