We booked a last minute reservation at the Generator after our car broke down in DC. Our stay was pretty decent. I was able to get a better deal booking through airbnb than hostel world, and the low price and open availability was a life saver. We didn’t take advantage of any of the amenities or shared spaces due to our circumstances, but I liked the space and the staff was very friendly. Only real complaint is that the WiFi was pretty much useless in our room. Minor issues communicating with the host (24hr response time) and our “king” bed was two twins pushed together (haha), but it was still a great deal for the money and worked well for our situation.
