This review pertains strictly to the "Underground" room option. This room is not a good value for the money. You're essentially paying for the hotel ambiance. And you hardly even get to experience it because you're in the basement. This room would make more sense if advertised for a single traveler. While the bed can sleep two, two adults can not comfortably stay in the room for an extended stay. The toilet/shower is essentially in a closet (thin walls and door), while the sink to wash your hands is in the main area. The shower curtain is also a blackout curtain, and the shower stall has no overhead light. So, showering can be a little dark. If I had to stay here again, I would pony up the additional money for one of the larger rooms.

Missing important amenities that most hotels have such as a guest laundry facility/laundry service, and refrigerators in the rooms. Additionally the restaurant was almost never operational.

The receptionist kept telling me I could check in shortly.After 30 mins I had to change in the toilet to make my meeting. 4 pm is far too late a check in time and the basement rooms are not clearly marked. Parking nearer is$45 overnight which is a lot! The ceiling in my room had damp! Other than that its quickly with a good vibe on the top floor

The hotel was clean and the rooftop bar/restaurant is surprisingly cozy, good, and reasonably priced. It's a cute Bohemian vibe and the room was nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable. They had some maintenance issues, the sink drained really slowly, the toilet paper holder was broken, the shower didn't quite get hot even though the sink did, and the Ethernet connection to the TV wasn't working. Walls are quite thin and the hotel can be noisy. I heard other people's alarm clocks and things. It's a decent hotel in D.C. for the price.

The hotel was comfortable and room was nice. There was too much bar and street noice however. I would definitely return for a weekday stage when it is quieter.

The hotel itself was really nice, clean but the room was a bit small. I didn’t like the lack of parking, we had to pay $45 just to park overnight because there was no spots available.

Nice hotel and a pretty good location if you are bringing a dog. The only down side was that the cafe was never open at 8am when it was supposed to be. But there are other cafes open nearby (5 min walk)

Cute boutique hotel!:) Clean & a nice to place to sleep. My only grip with the place was that the air conditioning was broken when we stayed there (during 3 days of humid 100 degree weather). Also plan to bring a white noise machine or ear plugs cause both the interior & exterior walls are super thin. You can hear everything on the street & in the next room. Other than that it was a good stay.

Lovely Weekend Getaway
The lobby was undergoing some cosmetic changes when we arrived so check-in was fairly hectic. The Hotel also had a different name when we booked it, to what it is now. We also had to call the front desk around 3-4 times to have someone come up to our room to look at the air conditioning situation because while it was eco-friendly, it was very difficult to figure out. Overall, the hotel was really cute. It was perfect for a couple taking a weekend getaway, and the location cannot be topped. There are so mant restaurants and stores and things to do that are within walking distance. Having a rooftop bar as an option was lovely, as well. The only qualm we had with it was that the music was very loud.
