“What struck me is this hotel's livable design - a proper kitchenette, good workspace, and genuinely pet-friendly attitude make longer stays appealing. Its location places you right by the lively 6th Street and the Capitol, but the restful rooms are a welcome escape. The fact that the staff responded to a guest's simple bacon request tells me a lot about their hospitality.”
