The LINE Hotel DC

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay here and I love the neighborhood. So many great food options within walking distance. Soleluna is a favorite. The hotel has nice, clean rooms and spacious bathrooms. Keep in mind that noise levels at night can be annoying but I didn't mind. Light sleepers might have issues. I also love the Cowshed products they have in rooms. Some staff are more helpful than others but mostly great. I prefer staying here than downtown. And walking to the red line to get downtown isn't bad or you can easily take a bus."
