From the moment I checked in, everything was terrific! Love our kind attendant, asked her questions about the area, and she was humble, kind, and knowledgeable. The room was clean, and they were great with upkeep. Hard to find good parking and don't expect a view—but the location is perfect! Main critique: Rooms don't have mini-fridges or microwaves. Deal breaker in the future.

Close to many attractions. Small, clean, charming rooms. Bed was terrible. If you're price conscious, it is not a bad place. .5 mile walk from the Farragut metro stations, that take you to Ragan airport.

The building has a history, which is excellent for me. It's an older building, but it's in good condition. The staff was friendly. The room price was cheap. The bed was comfy. Bathrooms are relatively large. I have no problem revisiting the Architect! Thank you.
