Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- Unbeatable location right next to King St-Old Town Metro
- Free King Street Trolley stops practically at the doorstep
- Walkable to hundreds of Old Town shops and restaurants
Szybki przegląd: A strictly functional launchpad for DC exploration that rests entirely on its location while letting maintenance and housekeeping slide.
Przejrzane przez @Njmahe: I stayed here for a conference and honestly, it was exactly what I needed. The room was super quiet, the desk was huge for getting work done, and waking up to that sunny city view was a nice bonus. Solid choice if you're in town for business.

Reality check
The 'cleanliness' rating is taking a hit—recent guests report peeling toilet seats, visible mold in bathrooms, and missed housekeeping spots.
- You need to be on the Metro Yellow/Blue line in minutes
- You plan to spend all day exploring and just need a bed
- You want Old Town charm without the $400+ waterfront price tag
Czystość i Konserwacja
5.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Reports of 'dusty' surfaces and missed daily cleaning even when requested.
- Bathroom hygiene: CRITICAL FAIL. Multiple recent reports of 'visible mold', 'peeling toilet seats', and 'hair in the tub'.
- Maintenance: Showing age. 'Loose outlets', 'running toilets', and 'broken AC units' are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Hit or miss. Some guests find them 'clean and comfortable', others report 'stained sheets' and 'musty smells'.
- Odors & scents: Frequent mentions of a 'musty' or 'damp' smell, likely due to the age of the building and carpet condition.

How close is the Metro?
Literally across the street. You can walk from the lobby to the King St-Old Town platform in 3 minutes.

Is it pet friendly?
Yes, but with a steep non-refundable fee of around $75-125 per stay.

Yes, a 24-hour fitness center. It's functional but basic; check for the single Peloton bike if that's your thing.
Porady dla wtajemniczonych
- ✨
Skip the $25 hotel breakfast and walk 5 minutes to 'Table Talk' (1623 Duke St) for a classic, affordable diner breakfast.

The 'courtyard' is actually a nice hidden spot—ask for a room with a balcony facing it for a rare quiet outdoor space.
- ✨
If the hotel garage is full or too tight, there is a public garage at 1800 Diagonal Rd (verify overnight rates first).
