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

The hotel is centrally located. It's a small, no frills hotel but the room was perfectly fine and even had a pretty spacious bathroom. There is a certain "old vibe" charm to the hotel. The oddest part was having to lug my suitcase to the reception since there was no ramp down the stairs from the entrance, but there was an elevator to the floors.
