    As a woman, I'm not sure I'd have felt comfortable staying in the area if I'd been travelling alone. The hotel itself feels very safe and secure, but the street immediately outside didn't feel the safest.

    Rooms were very well designed/laid out considering this is a micro-hotel. We've stayed in a couple of micro-hotels I would say this was the best laid out. The rooms were nicely decorated, clean and modern. Staff were really welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location is great for exploring DC and just a short metro ride from DCA Reagan Airport. The water refill stations on every other floor were a nice touch as I hate having to buy bottled water, though they could be a little bit better sign posted as it took me a while to find one. The rooftop bar is a nice touch and was provided grab and go breakfast during our stay, which was very convenient.

    Despite enjoying my stay, there were 2 things to note. 1. You're in Chinatown which is a busy area and the windows don't do a good job blocking out the sound. Luckily I slept with sound cancelling ear plugs, so I had no issues. 2. The bathroom taps weren't fixed in settings. It would either go hot and cold suddenly and the tap would alternate between temperature settings to the speed of the water. The switch up happened every minute, a bizarre experience!

    A good compact room hotel that is situated in the perfect location to walk to attraction areas. I enjoyed my stay here. If you're looking for a short stay and travelling alone, I do recommend this place. The front house staff were very friendly and polite.

    Small room, mold in shower, no parking, had to pay $54 for a couple of hours not even a full day at the Gallery Parking. So, this location would be my last choice.

    Towels were clean and smelled of bleach.

    Rooms are very small. I understand the ‘small room concept’ by Hilton but this room was very uncomfortable with 2 people and 2 suitcases. Only stayed 2 nights so it was manageable but wouldn’t be able to do it any longer than that. Some interesting characters hanging out near the front of the hotel due to a bus stop/subway being right there. Locals mentioned to avoid walking around the area at night.

    Great location for what I needed it for. Staff were very friendly and hotel felt safe with security at the door 24/7.

    The room was very small. I don't have any big complain but is a simple hotel, good for short stay, which was what I did. It's loud at night but the white noise machine in the room was very handy.

    I love the location and the customer service. The place was simple but had all I needed. It was easy to check in and check out. They were flexible with early checking as well.

    Great price, we ended up renting two rooms for our group to go see a concert at Capital One arena. Close walk to great restaurants and the arena. Hung out in the lobby after the show and drink wine and felt very comfortable. I shared one of the bunk bed rooms with my friend and we were a bit cramped but we knew that these were going to be micro rooms and it's a great value for the location. I've stayed here twice and really enjoyed it both times.

    It was a micro hotel. If we would have known that we probably would not have booked but it was fine for one night. There’s no microwave or fridge and the room was very small. There’s also no parking designated for the hotel so you have to find a parking garage. We paid $54 for one night.

    The location was central to all lot of our interests. We also liked the security in place with having to use the key cards to get into the building and to use the elevator.

    The only downside is that it's very noisy outside, and from a room on the 3rd floor the street noise was loud in the room. They provide a noisemaker, but that didn't work for me so well - I turned on the fan of the HVAC unit and that worked well enough. The area outside can also seem sketchy but it wasn't much of a worry for me.

    Property was well designed and the staff was very friendly. It's a "micro-hotel", where the rooms are much smaller and don't have some amenities. I found that everything in the room was in excellent condition and well designed to make the small space work. They also had a very nice fitness center. The staff allowed me to check in mid-morning which was really convenient. It's located right by a metro stop in a central part of Chinatown with a lot of restaurants and bars nearby, including some decent spaces right below the hotel.
