The property was beautiful, and the staff was amazing. However, the size of the rooms was a significant downside. They were too small, making it difficult for two people to move around or use the restroom privately.

Capsule hotel in DC?

DC is not Tokyo and does not need a capsule hotel. Rooms that are 7' wide and 15' long are just too small, especially at the prices charged. Not a relaxing stay.

Exceptional customer service from everyone I encountered. Room was small but beautiful and had what I needed for a quiet, productive business trip. Comfortable bed and pillows. Adequate desk. Cute bathroom and shower. Felt like I was back in Europe. 😍 Appreciate the environmental conservation efforts, too.

Great room, location, gym. What's not to like?

The micro room was exactly what we wanted. Only 3 blocks (maybe) from the mall, it was situated very well. We walk everywhere and this location was excellent for walking. The room is small (intentionally), clean, progressive, and quiet. The use of an iPad to control all aspects of the room was novel to us. The gym was the best I've seen in any hotel. The only problem we encountered was that the hotel charger for the iPad didn't work; we used our own charger for that purpose. Excellent experience.

We just needed a place to stay for the night, and this was a great choice. Rooms are compact, as we expected, but clean and have everything needed. We made a reservation for Sushi by Bao, which is in the hotel, so we had a fun dinner experience with great cocktails and a rooftop view after our day of walking around and visiting a nearby museum. We actually ventured to The Wharf the following day for brunch, which was an easy walk from the hotel.

This hotel exceeded expectations - it has a really cool style, the amenities are nice, walkability to the national mall and the wharf area were great. It was perfect for a solo traveler - more than one person in a room could be a little small. But I loved the set up.
