Very noisy at night! Wreaked of marijuana in the hall, elevator and outside. The cost of the room was astronomical and the place is so run down! No fan in the bathroom. Mold in the caulking around the tub. Toenail clippings on the carpet that the cleaning folks missed. I say, no way!

Hotel is clean and conveniently located to my needs. Staff is friendly and professional. Bed and pillows are comfortable but the chair and sofa, not so much and had some stains. By myself do I did not need to sit there. Biggest miss was the breakfast at the in hotel restaurant-Johnny Rockets. Eggs tasted like powdered and toast only toasted on one side. Had to ask hotel staff to get a server to come out. So hotel is great, but I’ll get breakfast somewhere else next time.

Decent Hotel / Awful Breakfast

The hotel is in a great location...walking distance to dozens of great restaurants and bars. The White House is about a 15-20 minute walk. The rooms are very nice with a comfortable bed, good water pressure in the shower and an easy-to-use thermostat. The service at the front desk was decent but not very friendly. The hotel breakfast was an absolute disgrace. DO NOT BUY THE BREAKFAST! It is located in the adjoining Johnny Rockets restaurant and it is awful. There are a few cold items, cereals, etc. and six hot food items. The first morning we went down to the breakfast, we had to wait constantly for the hot items to be replaced. It seemed like there was never more than 1-2 items that had any food in them and those ended up being room temperature. The second day was so bad that we left after ten minutes of waiting for anything to be replaced. The final day we went for breakfast to a nice French bakery at a neighboring hotel. Honestly, it was a huge waste of money ($21 per day for two people). If you are looking for a budget hotel in a great location, this isn't a bad option but skip the breakfast.

The beds were very comfortable. Good shower. Our room faced the Main Street, so sirens and other noise was loud. The service at Johnny Rockets was abysmal. We had a much better breakfast at Call Your Mother up the street.

Close to many attractions and iconic landmarks that we wanted to see, we didn’t have to take a public transportation, except when we had to go home and got tired of walking, we had to take uber and had to pay only about $10 to get to our hotel as it’s a very short ride to the hotel. It’s walkable but we just got tired after walking from one landmark to another during the day. Staff are very nice. I like the dining area which is Johnny Rockets, the staff there are very nice too. I like their food. I highly recommend this hotel, there are two free bottled water every day which is very helpful.
