The hotel has done well to upgrade appearances and
function. The hotel staff were highly competent and friendly. The Metro lines are just a short walk away. This hotel is a few blocks away from the old red light district, but that area can be mostly avoided if such things offend your sensibilities. Restaurants, pubs, and groceries just down the street a half block and around the corner. Mostly, I found this hotel to be a good value for two adults and three young adult children.
