Easy to reach from the metro. Strategic location for exploring the city. Quiet rooms.

Nice location, very convenient to a lot of restaurants and really walkable. Felt very safe. Key thing to know, it's on a heavily traveled thoroughfare. Extremely noisy at night and early mornings. Car, sirens, etc. will not let you sleep in. Staff is considerate of this as earplugs and an ambient sound machine were waiting for us when we checked in. The also tell you that they have a contract with the national guard and another organization so it's possible that you may not get the actual room you reserve but, again, they compensate you for it. Breakfast at Le Sel was delicious too. Personally had the salmon crepe.

Friendly staff and clean rooms. Docking 2 stars because: 1. The AC unit was really loud and kept waking me up throughout the night. 2. My room looked directly into the garbage alley. If I opened the window, you could smell the garbage, and the view was far from great. Then early in the morning, the garbage trucks were incredibly loud. If you stay here, I’d recommend asking for a room away from the alley.

Special shout outs to Ricardo, Oscar, Emma, and Steven! The trout served for social hour was amazing! Thanks again, I’ve definitely found my go to lodging spot in DC!
