The location can't be beat. The room was a bit older, but there was plenty of light (interior view of another building though). It did have an odd shape to it, kind of an L - which is fine, but made the TV at one end, and the bed at another. In my room, there was limited workspace, so I wasn't able to work in the room much - went to a cafe instead. I have walked by this hotel many times during trips to DC but never stayed. For the price, there are better options if what you're looking for is the best appointed room. But if you're needing to be right by the White House it's a solid option.

Hotel was nice. The room I was assigned was not the same room booked but I was ok with that. The air in the room would not cool the room. I put Thermostat to 65 degrees but room wouldn’t get cooler than 76 degrees. I called the front desk to see if someone could come look at it. Had to call 6x before someone answered. I was told someone would come look at it and that was at 10:30pm. I feel asleep at 11 and no one ever came. I woke up at 7am sweating. I immediately got up and got ready to check out. Don’t think I’ll stay again due to the service
