Very much a hostel. The bathroom is shared with several people on the floor, I found myself waiting more often than not waiting but this was in the mornings/evenings. The bathroom overall was acceptable but not sparkling clean. The bedroom has no windows, as advertised, ventilation isn't great, it does get a little hot at night. Checking in and out was very easy, parking also wasn't an issue. On the day we were out all day we parked at a local pay-lot that was $10 a day (not bad for DC), at night you can park on the street after 8:30 PM. The price seems a little high, but considering its for two people and the room does have ample space, its fine.
