Nice place to stay at a good price.
2-night trip

Room was small but clean, looks recently updated and very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again and found it to be a very good value.

Older hotel but clean
2-night trip

8/10

It was perfect for a single person who needs a place to keep their belongings and a safe place to sleep.
2-night trip

10/10

It was a simple hotel in a very nice area from which the national mall was very accessible. Architecture of the building was interesting.

10/10

Chill quiet spot. Love all the hardwood!!
3-night trip

6/10

Generally good with bed comfortable but would have benefitted with a couple of softer pillows. The room was clean but a little claustrophobic with the window being only inches away from the next building. The location was good being close to the Whitehouse.

Front desk check lady was amazing - room was ok. Pillow was flat and hard.

I love staying at the Architect hotel when I'm in the office for meetings. The rooms are always clean, the beds are comfortable and customer service is excellent.

Dark little room, window looking at brick wall 5 inches away.
1-night trip

8/10

Great and cozy in an older setting. Comfortable rooms with just the right size, and very clean and comfy for quick stays. The concierge team was invaluable and polite, and the location is near the city center, within walking distance of the Metro.
2-night trip

8/10

Very good location for the price. Clean room with a lot of towels provided. One minus was the loud AC that kept a creaky noise and bed was not the most comfortable. Very nice stay overall, recommend!
1-night trip

8/10

A decent hotel in an amazing location. Room was good-sized and bathroom was huge. Both were spotless. Shower had ample hot water. The air conditioner vacillated between too hot and too cold. I'm glad the hotel had spare blankets!
1-night trip

8/10

The location is fantastic, as it is very close to the White House. It would be, however, much greater experience, if there is a coffee maker in a room. It was very inconvenient to go down to the 1st floor from the 9th floor to get muddy string coffee every morning.
6-night trip

6/10

Neat, old hotel with history. Room was small, but cozy. Our view was the building next door, 6 inches away. But that made for a quiet stay. The pillows were pretty bad though, very thin. We would stay again, but probably bring our own pillows.
3-night trip

10/10

Great location. A NO thrills type of hotel. I have stayed there several times I have been to DC.

I enjoyed my stay and will choose it in the future.
3-night trip

10/10

A very quaint and secluded place within walking distance of plenty of places to eat and sightsee. The room was clean no issue at all very comforting bed. The only issue about the room is the watering system will make it weird noise when you turn the shower on, but besides that a real great place. Also with it being DC of course parking will be an issue

6/10

This is an older property that has been renovated, but is still quirky when it comes to some things. The room is clean, but the mattress is worn, and the pillows are very thin. There is coffee on the first floor but the vending was out of order. The have a TV guide for the channels but it does not match the Firestick on the TV. The staff when I asked for assistance, seemed bothered.
1-night trip

10/10

Great location and great value for the $. Older building so could use some updates, but great spot.
1-night trip

6/10

Just a place to stay. Clean small rooms. Polite but purely transactional check in. No water or coffee in room. They put a $150 hold on your card above and beyond the room price. Ice machine can be found down in the basement.

I like the location.

It was a basic no frills room. Somewhat comfortable but very noisy. The water pressure was low and difficult maintaining hot water.
