Hotel Hive

Cozy but clean. Liked the restaurant right off the lobby

No fridge in room

The location was excellent. Safe neighborhood. Close to lots of eatery options. Parking was convenient and great value considering what a lot of the other hotels offer. Complimentary morning coffee/tea was a plus.

Although eventually effective, the breakfast service could have used another person. One person taking orders, serving, making drinks and attending to coffee/tea service is not ideal for the morning crowd especially when you have a tight schedule. I was surprised the Hotel does not recycle. With that, our breakfast was brought to us in plastic containers instead of the steel trays, when we asked we were told because none were cleaned!?!? Which goes back to my first paragraph. Water was poured in pretty big plastic cups which we didn’t even drink. Perhaps ask first if water is wanted. More tea bag variety, Earl Gray is not for everybody.

Awesome location. Close to important landmarks. Cool atmosphere. Free morning coffee.

The only negative I can say was there was no microwave.

The staff was lovely. Warm, friendly and helpful. The location is excellent...a few blocks from the Lincoln Memorial end of the national mall, near George Washington University and a number of good places to eat. Easy metro access.

This should be listed in a separate category like a hobbyist hotel. The rooms are very small although I was told when we checked out you could call ahead and ask for a larger room. This felt like a capsule hotel you could stand up in. Reminded my husband of his days in the submarine and me of our times riding in 2nd class sleeper cars in Europe. The room is a bed. There is nowhere to sit except the bed. No place to put your suitcase except on the bed. Nowhere to put clothes so you end up living out of your suitcase. Had to crawl over partner to get to bathroom from the bed. The bathroom sink is one of those quarter sized sinks you see in trains. The shower however was a generous size. Needless to say, this is the perfect hotel not to spend any time in your room. But, it was clean. The bed was comfortable. The staff was nice. The location good.
