A good modern, clean hotel that matches the price. Only annoying things were that the blinds don’t properly block out light and the aircon rattles.

Very affordable for students and short term visitors of DC. Small rooms but clean and comfortable. Appreciate the bathroom with the room. Really great staff, quick communication without any problems. Close to the Dupont Circle metro or bus and plenty of restaurants and shops in walking distance. Easy check in. Definitely coming back once in DC again.

I came to town for two nights but spent most of my time outside of the property. This was a no-frills stay and to be honest not many complaints just comments. My room was super cozy. Had things I needed like soap, iron, towels, tv. My room did have a “surprise” under the bed so cleaning was not as thorough. The bathroom was fine but the shower had clear wear and tear. The bed was SUPER comfy. I would stay here again honestly for any solo/couple travels.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service during my stay. The staff were friendly and professional, and I want to give special thanks to Essam for his exceptional help. It is rare to find someone so dedicated and kind. His dedication truly enhanced my experience. Highly recommended this hotel— great service makes all the difference

Distinctly fine. The property was clean and well placed but the automated check in and lack of human presence on site feel slightly disturbing. Note to those staying in at FOUND. Make sure you fill in your check in information days prior to arriving. Doing it upon arrival is a total hassle, especially if you you got in late and don't have data on your phone to contact the information team.
