My room was clean and comfortable. Perfect for my quick business trip to D.C. I was able to walk to my venue, so it was the perfect location. Close to many restaurants and a very safe area.

Tina, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was in DC for business and I was basically just in and out of the hotel. This place accommodated that at a good rate and in the area I was doing business. The room was small but clean, ultimately all I needed.

Great Value Stay

We needed last minute room for one night and the Architect delivered. We appreciated that the front desk staff was on duty 24 hours. Our room was spacious and clean, if sparse but did have a closet with safe and ironing board. Location is excellent - close to Metro station, buses, plenty of restaurants, etc
