"The boutique style hotel was clean and comfortable. The only challenge is the room layout that has an unusual bathroom layout the shower is glass view and once out od shower your in the room it is not within a bathroom with door the toilet is in a room with door. If you are traveling with children/teams it is uncomfortable. However there are rooms with a bath ROOM style farm close door for privacy and it all worked out wonderfully."

"My stay at this location was amazing! Even though it was for one night only, I got to spend quality time with my lovely wife! I want to place a shoutout to Sophia, absolute lovely and kind front desk associate. She explained everything about the hotel and the included amenities on the property. Parking is the only downside to this location, but with it being located within the DC. It’s not a surprise, overall. My stay was 10/10!"
