Fairly priced stay in Washington. Property was in close proximity to the metro line which is helpful. Somewhat dated fittings but everything is very clean and well presented.

We loved the charm of the building and the convenience of walking to all of the capital buildings. Bonus was that the Metro was a block away.

This is an old building that is in a nice area. The lobby smells weird and the carpet is out of date but it is a good price and fine if you don't plan on hanging out in the hotel a lot. You can easily walk to the white house and there are restaurants around. It feels like a safe area as well.

Property is adequate but tired. Rigid pillows and other bedding were uncomfortable. We requested second luggage rack (for our second suitcase) but none was available. No chest of drawers or counter space in the bedroom. For the elderly, getting in and out of the shower felt risky. A grab bar in the wall or nonskid on the tub would have been good.

Great location!
This hotel is located in the heart of downtown DC with easy access to the metro. I thought the room was a bit tired and small but for the price—it could not be beat

This is an old hotel that is nicely updated. The bathroom had a rain shower which some people may like, but I prefer a normal shower head. Also, the fan comes on with the bathroom light and is LOUD...so loud that I used the mirror in the room to apply makeup because it couldn't stand the noise. Otherwise very nice. My first night was room 207 and I had no internet. I asked to be moved the second day and was then in room 507 where the internet worked fine. I appreciated the desk calling a cab for me. There was no breakfast.

Needed a room at the last minute. This was the only reasonable priced option in the area. Hotel needs updating and the a/c unit in room was loud. There was also a musty smell in the room. Otherwise it was a clean room and the hotel served the purpose for the night.

This hotel is very old, and our room was pretty dirty (there was black mold all over the shower but they cleaned it upon request). However, it's in a great location.

Very nice property, helpful staff, privacy and cleanliness. We really liked the location, beautiful building and quiet atmosphere. No-frills means more affordable! We highly recommend the Architect if you're fine with a less than luxurious mattress and pillows. Will definitely stay there again
