Disliked: Staff & service

Overpriced, poor service, tiny rooms

They gouge you on price when there is a special event in town. Decor is low-class tacky, based on "little boy humor" such as the bookend in the TV lounge of dogs mating. The "do not disturb" card says "don't come in, there's someone naked in here". Room is tiny, almost claustrophobic, too small for more than 1 person. Bar forgot our pizza order our first night there, forgot our drink order a couple of days later. Refused to put the TV set on the channel that EVERY PERSON IN THE LOUNGE WANTED TO SEE because of some manager's "policy" - we asked multiple times, multiple employees, and all said the manager's "policy" forbade showing that channel. The only benefit is that it's walking distance to landmarks (Washington Monument, Capitol, museums). Terrible all-around experience, will never stay there again.

Smallest hotel rooms ever!

These hotel room are the tiniest rooms ever! The room was smaller than my closet at home. The size was so inadequate for a 6'6" man as the bed was too small for him to even stretch out.

I will definitely be going there again!! The hotel design is unique, the staff members are very helpful. The rooms are very clean but not too big, enough for one or 2 people. It’s great if traveling for work, just want to have a getaway alone and rewind or enjoy a couple staycation for an occasion. The food in the sushi bar upstairs is delicious!!

The room is extremely small. If theres more than 1 person, you will have to climb over eachother to get out of bed. We never had heat the entire 4 day stay, we reported the issue immediately after arriving and the problem was never fixed. Our room was cold the entire time. We ended up cutting our trip short just to get out of that place.
