Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up a tasty mix of American, Mexican, and local cuisine, with vegetarian, dairy-free, and halal options available. While 24/7 room service isn’t offered, the hotel’s bar stays open late, and you're within walking distance of Dupont Circle’s late-night food scene. Breakfast is available, perfect for those slower mornings after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

You’re in a prime spot for DC nightlife—bars, lounges, and music clubs are all nearby. The hotel bar offers a chill vibe and craft cocktails, ideal for a low-key pre-show drink or nightcap. If you're still buzzing from the concert, you won’t have to go far to keep the night going.

What People Say

The garden lounge and pool are frequent favorites, especially in warmer months. Reviewers also mention the friendly, multilingual staff and how easy it is to meet fellow travelers.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests found the rooms a bit on the smaller side, especially for groups with lots of gear. The hotel’s lively social vibe might not suit those looking for total peace and quiet. And while there’s no free breakfast, the on-site dining options do get solid marks.
