DO NOT STAY
I am a Professional hotelier and I have never seen a hotel like this before in my whole carrer. I went to washington DC for site seeing and clubing with my cousin and her friend. Hotel is located in shady party of town. It only shows 2.5 miles from downtown but belive me that 2.5 miles will change the area form great to gross!! Room smelled like mould and farts.When you Watch TV,start coffee maker and microwave all at the same time your power will turn off . When called the front desk about the power outage,she was rude and told us "why did you have to start everything at the same time?" after waiting for 15-20 mins for power to come back on, we called the front desk back , she was rude and told us " I heard you the 1st time some one will fix it ".
We got up late the next morning so breakfast was closed. We wanted some silver ware so I went up to the breakfast area to get some silverware and the door was closed so I went up to front desk and she told me NO we can't have them because breakfast is close. I am sorry , I am paying for this room and I can't even get silverware. 
Night time is the worse . YOU DO NOT want to loiter around this hotel during night time. 
I don't want to say what kind of dirt is on the streets,just get the hint.I would prefer sleeping in my car over staying in this hotel.
