Very easy check-in and communication. It's a little walk from the green line (10-15 mins). You'll have to uber if you have luggage. Once you get to the green line though, it's only a quick ride into downtown DC.
The place can also get noisy as it sits above a bar, but mike provided earplugs which worked well.
Overall, it was good for the money and I can tell that Mike makes a good effort in treating his guests well.
