I was in DC to work a multi-day conference. As the hours were long and the client didn’t provide rooms for the crew we had to fend for ourselves. With that in mind this room worked perfectly for us. The room was clean and the twin beds did the job. The bathroom while clean could use a refresh of the caulking. Of note it took me more than a few moments to figure out how to redirect the water from tub faucet to the shower head. There is usually a lever or knob somewhere obvious to divert the water. Here you have to push up on a ring at the faucet head to activate the shower. Once I figured that out I was good to go.
Amenities - There was supposed to be a hair dryer but I couldn’t find it. The towels provided did the job but are small and not very plush. The pillows are a bit on the flat side. If any of these things are issues for you then I would plan to bring my own.
The neighborhood seemed pretty safe and streets while not super bright is fairly lit. We didn’t get in that evening until 10 pm and it was pretty quiet. Luckily we got a parking spot near the front of the house. If we hadn’t we would have had to troll the neighborhood and possibly park a few blocks away. Bonus is that the house is a few blocks away from H st. I know the area pretty well from past trips. There are quite a few bars (we walked to one and grabbed a late night snack and beer) and coffee shops up and down H. There is also a Whole Foods market there so you can grab whatever suits your mood/needs.
The host Daniel responded quickly when I had a question and provided a lot of details once I made the booking. High marks for that.
Bottom line is that if you want to stay in DC for a minimal cost and frills then this is for you. If you want higher end accommodations then you’ll want to look elsewhere. For me the next time I have a gig in DC I’d definitely come back.
