Absolutely not.
We were incredibly excited to stay here for our week getaway, and while the area is wonderful, this place is not.
For starters, when we arrived and I went to go check in, no one was at the front desk; I called the number available and was told that they were on their lunch break, which is no problem, but why was no one else available to check us in? I ended up waiting an additional 10 minutes for someone to check us in. When we got to our room, we noted very quickly that the rooms pictured on the airbnb is NOT the room we received. The showers are very small and do not leave enough room for you to set any body products up without putting them on the floor or wiggling them in between the body products already available. In addition, the AC in our room did not work — I kept turning it down and would constantly wake up throughout the first night because it would jump up to 75°.
When we asked to switch rooms, the young lady and young man at the front desk seemed to have an attitude, but agreed to switch our rooms. Nothing could have prepared me for the fact that we were moved from a spacious, but hot, room, into something like a closet. The room was SMALL. I mean, myself nor my boyfriend could move around comfortable enough, but we decided not to press the issue. When I sent Jason a message, I was simply told to go to the front desk. Besides this, on the first floor, there is consistent noise inside the hotel from about 3AM-10AM, with doors slamming and other unintelligible noise. In addition, when we came back from Last Call (very awesome bar!), some random guy was leaning on my car and had a cup on my car. Oh, I forgot to mention, the parking area is only 8 spots, and be mindful parking on the side, because a man (custodial staff) continuously hit and scraped someone else’s car and then proceeded to call another set of guests the B word when they told him that he was hitting their car.
And for the final kicker, for our last night, we were laying in the bed (very comfy, may i add), and heard scratching and pattering *inside* the walls. Coming to our conclusion, there needs to be some sort of extermination service done, because it sounded like an animal was in the walls; this sound went on for about 15 minutes straight.
While the Union Market area is now our favorite part of DC, I would not and CANNOT vouch for anyone to stay here. You are better off getting a hotel or an AirBNB elsewhere. With limited parking, thin walls, no working AC, tiny showers, not getting what you’re actually paying for, and no resolve to any issues, I would recommend you find somewhere else in the same area for cheaper and for a better experience.
