Need a bed, toilet, sink, and shower for an inexpensive rate (relative to DC rates)?
If you are accustomed to a urine-stained mattress, mildew in your shower, an iron that snags your clothes, impoverished essentials (bathroom soap and paper towels ran out), poor climate control in the bedroom, limited security for your belongings, unreliable USB ports, and unkept commitments, you will feel right at home on U Street! If you expect better, consider other options.
Contrary to the description, there is no free breakfast, pool, sauna, or gym, not much living space and no luxury finishes in the men’s dorm.
I did appreciate water cups and a small water cooler in the commons area/cafe. The black woman was the best of the three hostesses. She was kind, attentive, and responsive.
U-Street was deceptive and disappointing.
