The hotel is for a very reasonable price and it is nice and clean. The location is very convenient because Foggy Bottom is one of the safest area in DC. What I dysliked was that I could smell cigarette smoke - openning the window was not an option as it was freezing outside.

First of all the price tha is anounced at the site isnt'n the real one, when i arrived there a have to pay more than it was set by booking by net. I've been in 4 hotels in this trip ( all schedueled by internet) and it happend just in this one!!! Other thing was the very noisy childrens that live there, all mornins wake up us at 6:00 - 6:30 am screaming. I don't know if they were reforming the hotel but it was the most uly house - building in the neigborhood. It is VERY expensive for what it is.

The whole Hotel is very old and could need some more caring. The Linens and everything was clean but I had the feeling, that the bathrooms were not cleaned everyday. My room smelled funny, too. The breakfast is very basic. I liked the fact that there was free water in the lobby and a computer with internet. Nevertheless I am not sure if I would recommend the hotel...

The building was heated to an uncomfortable temperature, the beds had no support, and the breakfast supplied was lacking. It would save money to turn down the thermostats and offer blankets instead, and breakfast could be upgraded from peanut butter and jelly. On the worst bread ever. Hostels.com did not relay that tax would be added once we arrived at the hostel, making a (very) small bedroom only $10 cheaper than if we\'d chosen a hotel just down the street.

Great location from the tourist points of interest and the subway. The staff was very nice and helpful but I would like a bigger breakfast then just toast.

Very expensive for what you get. Heath & safety are serious issues as there were nails pointing up in the floor. The staff never bothered to fix even after our request. The bathroom was pretty poor, shink was blocked, shower had litle water coming. So we could not shower. Lastly, staff were quite unfriendly and unhelpful.

The hotel was basically OK.There was an a/c,a microwave and a fridge in my room (although I found a cockroach in it when I opened it),which is usually not the case in this price range.However,the windows were stuck and there was central heating - so the first night there was 86 F in the room and I could do nothing but turn the a/c on,which was then running all the night (in winter).I also couldn't explain to the cleaning lady that she shouldn't wake me up each morning.Besides these,it was great.
