For the price I've paid, I was expecting a smoothier check in and better staying experience.

The listing is mostly accurate except

1. the app I downloaded for accessing my apartment entrance and amenities were not ready upon arrival.
2. sharp noisea randomly occured during my stay. the noises was disturbing, although not constant, not load but with high pitch and occured four nights out of 11 nights.
3. basic supplies such as laundry detergent and trash bags only supplied for one time use.

Luckily the management office is in the building and the on-site management personnel Yolanda and Donald made the stay as smooth as can be.

The noise were not constant but no one was able to address the issue effectively.

My stay could be better for the value.

The area was easy to navigate. bus, metro, rental bike via App available. Local restaurants, grocery store within walking distance. attactions near by. Roof top pool was great, view was enjoyable. Room, bed. pillow were comfortable.

The apartment was great for our family. Very convenient for taking the metro daily. Ted Bulletin’s restaurant being close was awesome! We enjoyed the pool. No pool towels, so I’m glad we brought our own laundry detergent to do a load of towels. WiFi wasn’t great, but it worked. Also pretty convenient to the grocery. We had a wonderful time!

This hotel is part of a residential development. All rooms window face a brick wall. The rooftop is limited to 20 people, I encountered loud noise and people smoking — including minors — which made the space unusable.

- On Friday, June 5, I experienced building access failure upon arrival at approximately 4:05 PM: the keypad/code did not work and customer service said an app was required. That app requirement was not communicated in prior emails.
- On Saturday, June 6, I observed a group on the rooftop (a man with a loudspeaker plus 4–5 adults) visibly smoking what appeared to be marijuana, and two unleashed dogs in a posted no‑pets area. I have video evidence of the rooftop incident and the earlier email showing no app requirement.

We had a great stay overall. The property was clean, modern, and very convenient. One feature I especially loved was the Latch app, which made it easy to access the building, room, and other amenities right from my phone—even when away from the property.

My only minor disappointment was that I specifically booked a room with a balcony and city view, which I did receive; however, the bed was positioned in a cubby-style area that partially blocked the view from the room. The layout appears to be designed to separate the sleeping area from the living space, but it did take away from enjoying the city view as much as I had hoped.

For anyone trying to find this property, it is called Revel, although we booked through Global Luxury Suites.

Also, be sure to check out Ted’s Bulletin on the corner—it’s within walking distance and absolutely delicious!

This 2 bed 2 bath apartment was conveniently located, clean and spacious. The only downsides were the constant codes to get in and out if the building( but you definitely felt safe and secure), and being right next to the train tracks. I thought this would be a significant issue when I heard the whistle upon checking in the room but it really wasn’t a disturbance. I like quiet rooms, it’s my top priority, so if I wasn’t bothered by it most others wouldn’t be either. It’s about 4 blocks from Union station and about a 15 minute walk to the Capital. There are restaurants within walking distance. It fit our needs for accommodating a group of 6 well.

This is a condo type property which was great for a week stay. All check-in info was sent in advance electronically (they call it \"move-in\" as if you are moving into an apartment). There's a code (or an App) to enter the building, to use the elevator and another to enter the suite. Full kitchen plus laundry in the suite. It was conveniently located with a nice restaurant on the block and a coffee/bakery in it too. There is a grocery and pharmacy 1.5 blocks away (same direction as beer garden), a nice liquor store in the same complex and a nice beer garden on the next block. I felt safe walking around the streets. There was someone at a desk on site to assist e.g., for Uber Eat or grocery deliveries. There are cubes on main floor that can be used for business purposes. It's about 10-12 minute walk to Union Station

Absolutely horrible. If you want to be treated like you absolutely should never be there, this is for you. If you want to be woken up at 9pm for a pic of your credit card and ID on the property managers personal cell phone because she didn’t take care of it in her office, this is for you. You will also be treated as if you are clueless about anything until she realizes she messed up the process. I read the reviews before and should have known. Took me into her office and I just sat there while she called random people. NOT pleasant. After realizing she made an error, asked me to have patience. I could go on. Way too expensive for this kind of service. Do not waste your time.

The property was well-maintained, clean and spacious, and the staff was responsive. The amenities of the building were nice (gym, game room, and rooftop). The apartment amenities could be described more accurately so guests can be better prepared. For example, the washer/dryer is a combination unit and it did not work well for a family. Also, it states that they provide detergent, coffee, shampoo, etc. but it was small samples and not sufficient for full stay.

Starting with check-in, a terrible process. The \"key\" system sucks. The bathroom had cheap fixtures. The water in the shower had no pressure no matter what time of day. \"Luxury?\" Nah, the cheap toilet paper eliminates that completely. No towel service; no maid service. In the bedroom, the bed was uncomfortable and the Bucky board squeeked with every motion. The bedroom TV would turn on, on its own. In the dining/living area, the TV volume could not be controlled and there were no stations unless you put your apps on the TV. The paper towels were cheap, the Internet was sporadic and the neighboring rooms were loud. Upstairs was worse with objects being dropped at all hours. The \"hotel\" is 15 minutes walking from the Metro and somewhat inconvenient in a terrible neighborhood.Then, there's the price. Each day, the price increased substantially from the preceeding day. A REAL RIP-OFF.
DO NOT STAY HERE.

The room was clean. Decorated nice. The water pressure was very low in the bathroom sink, just a trickle. The shower was fine. There are no key cards. The Latch app is what you use to get into the building, elevator, and your room and is a bit annoying until you get used to it. I was moved to a different room with no explanation why. I stayed 5 nights. The first room I was in I stayed 1 night. The bed was broken; it only had 3 legs which I dealt with by putting a pot under the 4th corner and it worked fine. The 2nd night I had to move though at 10:30 at night. It was a hassle packing everything up that late and moving 4 floors down and then having to unpack again. Since I had to do it so quickly I ended up leaving a necklace on the nightstand which I never got back. I called and it wasn't found. I think this was just an unusual experience however, and everyone was pleasant that I spoke with. There isn't a pool but there is a nice workout room available. There is a great restaurant next door as well.

The touchpad in the first elevator didn't work and the person at the front desk was annoyed that I had a problem with it. My impression was that I am too old to fit in there. It's a nice room but the toilet wouldn't flush and the water barely came out of the bath sink faucet. It could also use a new mattress, so I was happy to check out after one night.

This place was a terrible choice for accomodation. Our planned stay needed to be extended due to the winter storm and they could not have made it more difficult. There would be 20 plus messages per day attempting to book additional nights and in the end I would just book through Expedia as they could not manage to rebook us directly. There were rooms available yet we were just passed from person to person with the prospect of no accomodation during a city shut down. We also had bed bugs and many bites. We continually lost key access to the building and our room as the app used as your key constantly stopped working. We were forever spending time having to get access to the building, then to the floor, then to a person who could reset our access. Don’t stay here, there are so many other options in DC. I have travelled internationally for decades and this was the worse experience I have had.

I didn’t see any bad reviews until after I booked and a lot of the bad reviews mentioned cleanliness and I would somewhat agree. The couch had a smell, and the countertops and tables and other areas could’ve been more clean. They needed to be wiped down even on top of the stove. Yeah I get it’s in and out experience different people been there, but there’s a way to upkeep that. The bed was soft and lumpy so it wasn’t super comfortable. The building is nice. It’s quiet. It’s in a good neighborhood. Would I book here again 50-50 I think I would first look for somewhere else that has the same concept. In terms of using your phone or a code to go in and out the building I had no issues with that at all people that issues, I assume are not tech savvy. Housekeeping needs to do a better job that would be my number one complaint. They make it look presentable, but they don’t clean it with effort
