Nice stay. Charming hotel. It’s a little out if the way, best to use Uber or drive to the center if the city.
Nice hip vibe. Helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again.

awesome Hotel
Check in time was supposed to be after 2 pm. I actually got there at 6 am from an early flight and then let me check in then. Not too many hotels. Will let you do that. The rooms are great and super quiet. Kind of a funky industrial design rooms and hotel.

Had a blast in DC
We had a great one night romantic getaway. The rooms had a nice modern charm. Great location that’s. Try close to Union Market and all the surrounding stores and restaurants. Plus a very reasonable price for DC. We’ll be back.

Beautiful Place, Friendly Staff
This boutique hotel was beautiful. I booked the family room, it came with a king size bed and bunk beds that my son enjoyed!! The rooftop bar was nice and the bartender was great!! We will definitely be staying again when we’re visiting again!!

Awesome Hotel!
We had the most incredible stay! The staff were so knowledgeable and friendly. Both workers at the front desk were very helpful and accommodating with my family. We booked the family room. Accessibility is big for us since our daughter is disabled but they were very welcoming. The staff member Steven was kind enough to take our Family photo! We can’t wait to return!

This hotel was great for a one night stay in DC. Not far from capital one arena and right next to union market. Check in was at 4 so we were able to walk around the market while waiting which was nice. Staff were friendly but never gave us instructions for how to get to our room which was a little confusion. I would stay here again though

Meh
It was very just okay. I’m a Bonvoy member but thought I’d try something different ; Mistake. $300 a night. Television didn’t work. And there’s no Hotel Management at the moment, so it all made sense. I’d never stay again, but Good Luck.

Union Market Hip Hotel
The hotel was very close to the shops and restaurants in the Union Market neighborhood which is why I stayed there. The hotel was clean and modern with an artsy vibe. Everyone was nice an the check in was easy. It is not a full service hotel but for one night and one person it was well located and had everything I needed. The room was on the street side and was a little noisy so you may want to ask for a room away from the street if noise is a problem.

Basic Bohemian Style that not everyone cares for. Mattress was not the best quality at all. Clean facility and excellent location but came off a bit too low budget.
