8.2/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
Such a great find at a GREAT price. Very nice property. Very cool double doors overlooking the courtyard. Very comfortable bed. Very clean room. Awesome bathroom. We ABSOLUTELY will stay here again. The only thing I did not like was the lack of parking, so we paid $60 to valet park in their garage. I guess thats the big city, though. We loved our stay here.

Beautiful facility inside Galludet University. Allowable price and free parking in the middle of Washington DC. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was large and had many amenities. My stay was quiet and peaceful. I will definitely be back!
