I wouldn’t know if the room is nice, I ended up walk out after waiting for an hour to get helped with check in. Self check in available but since trip doesn’t charge city tax, there’s outstanding charge that prevent me from self check in. Check in time is confusing. Trying to get help but no help available.

Wires were visible on the floor and got bed buck bites. The location is very good. 5 mins walk to 14th and metro is just around the corner.

Love the idea of the capsule hotel and enjoy having privacy. However the capsule only had an underpowered USB port and no powerpoint which made charging very frustrating and long endeavour. Hostel close to alot of food and bars, cvs across the road and subway around the corner too. Made Life very easy. Check in process was annoying, as the trip.com app doesn't take state tax I had an oustandign balance on arrival which means I couldn't do a self check-in so I had to wait 4 hours out the front of the building with my bags for the 6pm check in time slot as they run 10am to 1pm and 6pm to 10pm checkin. Each floor had a toilet and shower located in the basement seemed fine no major cleansing issues.

Great space and location. Friendly fellow travelers and Brew on U is an awesome cafe. For me, I only wish there was a larger common area but otherwise a great experience.

Even though I didn't have the opportunity to spend the night there due to some misunderstanding, but I witnessed the facility first hand and I can vividly say they've got a great facility.

Everything else was impeccable, except that I had to pay extra taxes, which I didn't quite understand and felt a bit strange. But overall, I had a great time in Washington, DC
