A Room Without a View, and Virtually No Hospitality
My husband and I stayed here recently. The hotel is about 4 to 5 blocks to the nearest Metro and on the fringe of tourist areas. It is on busy Mass Avenue and across the street from a major construction site. Noisy.
The hotel staff is generally not very professional, the basics of checking you in and getting your payment, but no further interest. 
Our first room was on an inner courtyard towards the back of the hotel. It was so tiny. My husband said the quaint "Early American" furniture reminded him of his boyhood room. 
I requested another room and was moved to room 501, towards the front of the hotel. The room had more space and the furnishings were better. There was also a fridge. I guess it was a "deluxe room." And a view overlooking Mass. Ave. Probably as good as they had, but not great. Don't stay here unless you get a really good deal and are careful about room choice.
No ice machine, ice available by room service only. Pillows are huge foam pillows, no alternatives.
