You did not respect the terms of my room! I had asked for a bed and you had given me two beds and when I left to claim the lady replied that she could not do anything. The room smelled of smoke and it was dirty, the keys did not work and I was each time forced to go down to the reception to activate

Gentleman at the front desk was horrible, not engaging at all. Didn't seem like he wanted to be there, or hates his job. Property is old as we expected, but clean, with a good running water and AC. However, It could use some renovation especially the elevator, and noisy stairs. Dont expect any amenities, even the TV wasn't working. Overall, it was worth the money . Privacy, Bed and Toilet is all you're paying for.

This was my second stay here, i loved & enjoyed it even more this time. for starters, i accidentally booked the wrong dates and they were accommodating and worked with me on updating the dates. i love the feel and aesthetic of the hotel. the staff is friendly and welcoming. roughly a 10 minute walk to the metro, close to plenty of stores and restaurants. parking in the front is free at a select time, outside of that, it is pretty affordable. i suggest using spothero to find affordable & close parking. if you cannot stand noise, this is not the place for you. however, i do not mind it at all. sometimes it can get a little loud downstairs due to the shows but it was never a problem for me. this is the most affordable & perfect place to rest your head at while in DC. the only suggestion i’d make is mini fridges! outside of that, i have no complaints and have enjoyed my stay every time.

I read reviews after I booked this hotel and there are some truths. Yes, I killed a strange bug in the bathroom, the room hadn't been updated in a long time, and the AC ran constantly at 70 degrees. Travelers should also keep in mind this is a 3 star hotel in Dupont for less than $100/night. You'll never find a hotel near this price for the area. If you are the type of traveler that the hotel is just a place to rest for the night this is a great deal. The room was clean. Housekeeping came every day. Hot water. Complimentary Wi-Fi. Front desk staff was very nice.

They operate a bar on the first floor where they present comedy shows. We stayed on the second floor and couldn’t sleep for two nights until after midnight due to the noise. No help, concern, or interest from the staff when I tried to address the issue.

Be prepared to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs just to get into the hotel. No one will offer to help. The elevator is so small it barely fits one person and a suitcase. The carpet looked gross to where I didnt want to take off my shoes. They put an ice bucket in your room but don't have an ice machine, water, or refrigerator

For the location and price it is spot on however: the hotel is very dated and requires a full refurbishment. The bed was clean as was the linen and bathroom. The AC was right next to the bed and sounded like a trucks gearbox.
The lift can only be described as authentic for a bygone era.
If you want fancy put a zero on a nights stay. If you simply want a place to sleep whilst seeing DC this is for you.

Room was moderately clean but had a few dirty spots, staff were friendly, entering the hotel and accessing the room is difficult because the main area is a night club/bar, and the air conditioning was an in-wall unit that made me feel too hot and too cold at the same time. Shops nearby are great but since it's DC it's overpriced.

This is definitely a budget hotel. Old hotel or apartments converted. Great location. Over the old Brickskeller beer institution. Easy to walk to buses on MA and PA avenues, short walk from Dupont Circle. Clean. Front desk staff. On the downside, only one plug in my room worked and the lobby has a bit of an \"institutional disinfectant\" smell. But, perfectly acceptable place for a non-profit or low budget traveler.

The first night we stayed there the bed was horrible. It felt like it was broken in the middle. The next morning we asked for another room. Which they gladly moved us to. That room was much better and it was on the 3rd floor which was better than the 2nd floor where you could hear the noise from the comedy club downstairs. The location was good.

Great location with ample sights and restaurants near by. Simple, cozy accommodations. An older facility with charm so do not expect the most posh experience. Rooms are on the small side and they aren’t the quietest especially Friday or Saturday when there is an event in the comedy club. But it’s a safe and affordable place to be when all you need is a clean bed and a bath for touring D.C.

Bed bug infestation. Found immediately upon arrival. I showed video evidence to the staff and they offered a 25% refund— we didn’t even spend 5 minutes here, let alone a night.

Absolutely disgusting. Avoid staying here at all costs. Will be reporting to the health authorities. Based on other reviews and guests staying there at the same time, this is clearly not a one-off. They should be closed down

We were at the 4th floor and didn’t hear any noises. Also the hotel is located in a very quiet peaceful neighborhood and is 30 minutes walk to Washington Memorial and 10-15 minutes walk across the bridge to a nice shopping area. And 8 minutes walk from my favorite bakery Tatte.

This is a good option for people looking to stay in downtown DC on a budget at a decent room rate, in a Dupont Circle location that is convenient and very metro-accessible (right near bus routes, too). It is pretty basic as accommodations go, akin to a student hostel, and the rooms have a bit of wear and tear but are in decent condition. Noise filters in easily, especially if there's an event going on in the space below, and there won't be any microwave, fridge, or storage options. Staff are courteous and friendly. The downstairs bar has good food and drink options, and you are also steps away from Dupont Circle restaurants, night life, and attractions.

Stayed here for 2 nights and it was fine. Rooms are basic but clean, staff do everything they can with what they have, and the location is great. The comedy club in the basement is fun. Then, daughter got sick and I had to cancel. I figured I'd be charged for that night, but not the second night, because that's what every other Expedia hotel has done on these trips. (I'm commuting to DC for work for 5 months, and I'm in the city W-F.) I called 3 times and messaged the hotel but never heard back. They charged me for both nights. I do not recommend staying here.
