Good Hotel
I stayed at this property for a few days at the beginning of December. It's a modern style boutique hotel in the middle of a not too nice neighborhood. You're not right in the middle of the projects but be aware of your surroundings esp. at night and you'll be fine. Front desk service was good, the front desk clerks I encountered were very helpful. The person that checked me in made me very aware of their non smoking policy and holds on debit cards for incidentals. My room was clean, nothing broken, no weird smells. Beds are SUPER comfy, it was great to come back to the hotel after walking all day to a super soft pillows and comforters. The hotel is close to a busy traffic area, so it can get noisy at night. Closest food source is a McDonald's across the street. There isn't much else than a 7-11 (sketchy at night) and some Chinese take out places. The closest metro station, Navy Yard, is less than a mile from the hotel, which was very convenient for me. Cabs are usually in the area, if not parked waiting for a fare right in front of the hotel. I didn't eat at the onsite restaurant, Lapidus. It is only open for breakfast and the breakfast isn't that great for the price. I was disappointed with the shuttle service or lack of shuttle service. It doesn't run all day, everyday or even every few days. I felt like everyday, I had "just missed it." Overall, it's a good hotel for the price and I would stay again.
