definitely a different experience from your standard hotel chains
Overall a very pleasant stay except for the noisy street outside. We arrived on the 4th of July and our room was on the 2nd floor, so we were a bit disturbed by the noise, but whether that is always the case, we do not know. However, the noise was the only minus. Ok, the wifi was a bit slow, but it worked. The place is like a step into another era, definitely a different experience from your standard hotel chains, there was antique furniture, some of it really curiously shaped, the doors were thick wooden ones, the atmosphere lovely. The hotel is a 15-minute-walk from Washington Memorial, there's a metro station a couple of blocks away and a bus stop, too. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable, and the staff very helpful.
