Hotel Details

Location

Located in downtown Washington DC, within a 20-minute walk of the White House and less than 2 km from the National Mall and Smithsonian museums.
The hotel sits at the corner of 15th and Rhode Island Ave in a safe residential neighborhood, across from the Hungarian Embassy. Dupont Circle and the White House are each about 1 km away, while the National Mall is roughly 2 km. Two Metro stations (Dupont Circle and McPherson Square) are 6-7 blocks from the hotel, and bus stops are within one block. Reagan National Airport is 6 km, and Union Station (Amtrak) is about 2 km. For airport transfers, use a taxi or ride-hire (Uber/Lyft) as there is no hotel shuttle. The hotel is also walkable to the Washington Convention Center, Chinatown, and a variety of restaurants and a Whole Foods Market within a few blocks.

Accommodation

Spacious, comfortable rooms with either one king or two double beds, all with private bathrooms, mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and free WiFi.
Guest rooms are generously sized and feature mahogany-wood decor with plush bedding, a work desk, lamp, and a 50-inch flat-screen HDTV with over 40 channels and free HBO. All rooms have a private bathroom with a bath and/or shower, hairdryer, and make-up mirror. In-room amenities include individually controlled air conditioning/heating, iron/ironing board, safe, telephone with voicemail, and free local calls. Connecting rooms are available by request. For families, a rollaway bed is $20 per night plus tax (limit one per room). Some rooms on higher floors offer partial views of the Washington Monument or the National Cathedral. Maintenance and cleanliness are generally well-regarded, though a small number of rooms have been described as dated or with minor issues such as loose fixtures or noisy air conditioning units. The hotel does not have rooms with balconies.

Dining

Johnny Rockets & Hurricane Wings in the lobby serves American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a breakfast buffet ($16.99/adult) and an à la carte menu available.
Breakfast is served from 06:30 to 10:00 (10:00 on weekends) featuring a buffet of hot items, pastries, and fruit, plus an à la carte menu. Coffee and tea are available in the lobby 24 hours. Kids 12 and under eat free from the kids' menu with an accompanying adult. The restaurant also offers a full lunch and dinner menu of burgers, wings, shakes, and American classics. Outside food is not allowed in the restaurant, but outside food is permitted in the hotel rooms. For those wanting more variety, several cafés and casual eateries are within a short walk, including Bluestone Lane (0.5 km) and Le Diplomate (0.5 km). Service speed and restaurant atmosphere have received mixed reactions; the buffet is consistent but simple.

Wellness and Leisure

A seasonal rooftop outdoor pool (open 10:00-20:00 daily, weather permitting, through Labor Day) and a free fitness centre with cardio and strength equipment.
The rooftop pool offers panoramic views of the city and is open daily when the season is active. It is fenced, features sun loungers, pool towels, and a pool with a view. The fitness centre is on-site and includes treadmills, life cycles, stair steppers, and a universal weight machine, with towels and water provided. Equipment was last renovated in 2015. There is no spa or wellness centre on the property. The rooftop pool is popular for cooling off after a day of sightseeing but may be less enjoyable if weather is poor or during shoulder seasons before/after the Labor Day closure.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi throughout, 24-hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage, business kiosk, minimarket, guest laundry, and meeting space for up to 150 people.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a room with a breakfast-inclusive rate to avoid the $16.99 per person buffet cost, and confirm how many in your party are covered as the voucher is typically for two adults.

  • 02

    Factor in the $53.10 per night parking fee when budgeting; the garage has tight spaces and no reservation is possible, so consider arriving by taxi or ride service instead.

  • 03

    Request a room away from the road and on a higher floor if you are a light sleeper, as street noise and air conditioning unit sounds can be disruptive.

  • 04

    Use the complimentary guest laundry on the 9th floor for extended stays, and take advantage of the 24-hour luggage storage if you arrive before check-in or after check-out.

  • 05

    Plan restaurant meals carefully: the on-site Johnny Rockets serves breakfast buffet and American fare, but service can be slow and the buffet is the same daily-ordering à la carte may be a better option for variety.
