10/10 Exceptional

Great Value Stay

We needed last minute room for one night and the Architect delivered. We appreciated that the front desk staff was on duty 24 hours. Our room was spacious and clean, if sparse but did have a closet with safe and ironing board. Location is excellent - close to Metro station, buses, plenty of restaurants, etc

Nice, affordable especially for DC

It was very nice especially for the price. I loved the brick wall too.
Hannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stay again for sure.

The stay was great! The pillows, however, were awful!! Only complaint at all. Too flat and thin. Staff was great. Room was clean! Shower was great!
Joseph, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place to stay for a more reasonable price.

Great location. Clean room. Not the most comfortable bed, and there were few amenities on the property, but the price was reasonalbe and it felt safe.

Brendan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for the price. Staff was very friendly and the room was as expected and clean. Very convenient location. The ONLY reason it doesn’t get the full 5 stars is the pillows are not comfortable.

Joelle night desk guy was rude with zero personality. The morning team was great! Room was old and tiny but clean. Low price so to be expected. Good location!

Minimalist lifestyle hotel.
Mark, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and comfort

Excellent location near White House and other attractions. Subway nearby. I liked the design and cleanliness of rooms. On the downside our room had a window facing another building's wall 1/2 m away and seals not well soundproofed.

Small room in a great location

Great minimal room in a convenient location. Coffee, tea and microwave in yhe lobby. It would be nice if they would consider adding a cube fridge to yhe rooms. Rooms are small- nondrawers to put away clothes- historic building close to bus, metro museums, etc.
Sarah, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok budget place to stay.
shengyi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was small but clean, looks recently updated and very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again and found it to be a very good value.

Amazing bargain, and great location!
francesca, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Dated hotel

The hotel is dated and dingy, but the staff kept it clean. There is not much giing on in that part of town on a weekend, as it is a M-F biz area. No parking options were provided, and DC is very tricky to park in.

Hannah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Family trip to DC. Great location. Overall, perfect for our needs- clean & comfortable place to come back to after a long day of sightseeing. We had water pressure issue in our room, but the front desk quickly switched us to another room. Coffee is available in the lobby in the morning.

Great trip

The rooms are nice and clean, the staff was absolutely amazing, energetic, and helpful if we needed anything. The tub was very slippery, with no grips on the surface.

Building is a bit old, but it's in a great location and the staff was very nice
