“I think that the price alone makes this property a standout in a costly city, but I especially appreciate its U Street location, near the metro and a host of restaurants. The sleeping capsules are comfortable and provide a surprising level of privacy, and add a futuristic touch, while the on-site coffee shop offers convenience and perks for guests. In my opinion, it's a practical choice for budget-conscious visitors.”
