The Truth...
I booked this hotel a month in advance. I then started reading some reviews and was terribly anxious, as I read some horrible things. Let me just say that I was comforted the moment we checked in. The front desk- Bobby- was as pleasant as could be. We got our room in seconds and although it was a little small, it was clean and bright (even at 3am)! My boyfriend and I have stayed all over this world and we both agreed that we have NEVER, ever slept with the comforter on a bed- until now. I've read reviews with people talking about dirty bedding- we did not see this and we actually slept with ALL the bedding. It was the most comfortable sleep I have had away from home! The room was a little small, but it served its purpose as we were not there to hang out in a hotel room. As far as the people that criticize the breakfast, it is a FREE breakfast! As it is not "gourmet", once again it was good and served its purpose! The eggs looked delicious, but I was eating light so I opted for some toast, banana, and yogurt. How can you knock that? OK, everyone complains about the neighborhood... I get it- not the best. That would be my biggest complaint, however living in major cities has prepped me for that. The metro station was perfect and the fact that my boyfriend is familiar with the area helped millions. I would just say make sure you are familiar with where you are going and you can navigate it no problem. Our only other problem is we tried to do a small load of laundry and it cost us $12. The detergent machine kept eating money and not giving product... we were told no refund could be made... oh well, we sucked that up. One more thing, we had a blast downstairs when we would pop in for the comedy. Overall, I had a great trip... the hotel was great as well- I thought it had a certain charm. Be skeptical whenyou read further reviews.... ignorant people taking things out in the wrong way- this hotel was VERY clean and the staff was VERY nice!!!
