Truly an oasis, in the midst of the bustling city. Truly exceptional staff--from Najwah at the front desk, the staff at Matera (first-class breakfasts!), and the housekeeping staff, it has been a long while since I have experienced a hotel stay as smooth and warm as this one. Super-clean, super-quiet, and well-appointed. As I was writing this review, I heard one of the front desk staff very respectfully ask one of the guests how his son was--a rare, well-executed display of compassion that was really quite striking to witness. Will definitely be booking here again when I return. Very, very highly recommended.

Having a full kitchen in the room was nice, but the flow of hot water to the shower was extremely slow and weak. Although generally clean and well-kept, a glass left as clean had lip prints on it, and soap dispensers in the shower were essentially empty.

Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It is close to restaurants, the Metro, grocery stores. Con’s: The rooms needs a facelift. The Queen bed mattress felt worn out and was not comfortable at all. The pullout couch mattress was more comfortable than the Queen bed. The hotel only has heat during the winter, when we arrived the room felt like a sauna. With no way to cool off the room the we were told to slide the windows open. A problem is the window only slides open a few inches.

The inn is located on a street where students like to go out and party. There were a lot of loud, drunk, young adults screaming and being loud up until 3 am. They eventually left the area, but it was really loud for several hours and there did not seem to be anyone telling them to quiet down or leave the area.

Fantastic option in DC - stayed there just one night, wish it was longer. The building is a little bit older, but everything including the room was immaculate and super well maintained. Really nice to have an in unit kitchenette, everything you need in a well organized space. Front desk staff super friendly and helpful. Great area around the hotel, 3 minutes walk to Foggy Bottom metro or 15 minutes to downtown DC area. All of the convinience with none of the noise and traffic.

I was able to find street parking both days of my stay nearby, but YMMV. The rooms were very nice and spacious, having a full size fridge and stove were appreciated. I did however experience having something someone else was cooking, have it's odor enter my kitchen. The shower head had poor pressure and finicky temperature controls.
