Quick review … This hotel is conveniently located in the Chinatown Section of Washington a short walk from the Gallery Place Metro stop. I enjoyed my stroll from the metro to the hotel past buildings decorated with Chinese symbols and dragons. The streets were busy with heavy pedestrian traffic even on a Saturday.
The lobby is small but the staff were friendly and had my room ready when I arrived. I thought check in was 4 pm but I guess its actually 3 pm.
My room is a corner room at the end of the hall on the 2nd floor. It is clean and I like all the windows.
The bathroom is well stocked. I had a little trouble finding the closet. It’s tiny and set into the wall next to the bathroom. I didn’t notice it at first.
The WiFi is free, always a good thing, and seems to have a good strong signal.
One of the complaints on the web site was “street noise” but I really haven’t noticed it much. Yes I head a siren or two but no worse than if I were at home. I guess if you are used to living in a rural area it could be annoying but it didn’t bother me at all.
Even though this is not a condo like my Timeshare, they still have guest laundry in the building. I won’t need it for a 2 day stay but good to know.
There is a free breakfast in the morning too. I’ll certainly check that out but so far I like the effort the staff puts in, the cleanliness of the room, it’s location and the Wifi.
On the downside, the facet in the bathroom drips and the water in the shower is only lukewarm even after allowing it to run to warm up. The hairdryer was hidden on the top shelf of the little closet. I didn’t find it until I’d been there 2 days! Found it in time to wash my hair for the trip home.
