Staying at the flophouse was truly a glimpse into the faded past. Like the name suggests, you wont get a lot of extra amenities here, but you will get lots of gorgeous wood and tile, grand old windows, fabulous water pressure in the old clawfoot tub, and decorative nods to older, slower eras. Although there is no AC, the fan worked well to keep us comfortable even during a hot July visit. Rene is a thoughtful and friendly host, check in was easy, the neighborhood is fun, and transportation is easy (we used the bus system rather than metro this trip and really enjoyed it). If you love a good Hilton Hotel, this may not be the place for you, but if you love authenticity, flair, and have a small sense of adventure, you will love this place.
