It is terrible!!! Don't ever go there!!! When we checked out, we suddenly had to pay more for the room. When we said that it wasn't the deal, the owner just said that he didn't care, and since he had our card number he would just transfer the amount from our cards anyway!!!! more

This is really a terrible place to stay. Very smail, unsecure and dirty rooms. There are bugs. Very small bathroom. The heater didn't work and it was really cold. Only recommended for very low budgetted travellers. Good things: very good location, excellent internet access from lobby and certain rooms. Breakfast is ok. The building needs urgent repairs. more

This place should be closed because I am sure its pronne to... more

This place is dirty, small and very very disgusting. I got a room in the basement and wanted to cry when I saw it. I even found a cockroach. The staff does not not what their job is, they are really bad-mannered and the only answer they would give to any complaint is you can leave the hotel if you... more

This little hated hotel has been my worst nightmare. The hotel has tiny room, really expensives for their price and dirty bathrooms (I found a hair in the towels!). The hotel has terrible security rules and the only thing nice is the breakfast. I WOULD NEVER RETURN TO THE ALLEN LEE. The location is great but trust me, the cost... more

The Allen Lee's location, within walking distance to all the main Washington sights and the Metro, is unbeatable. My single room was small but very comfortable. The room had cable TV, plus a small sink. The shared bathroom was spacious and clean, and the breakfast (along with free newspapers) was fantastic. Given some of the negative posts (many of which... more

Location of this hotel is great- safe area and it's walking distance to National Mall, Georgetown, and Chinatown. Foggy Bottom Metro station is located within 5 min. walk. They have plenty of information for visitors. We were well satisfied with free breakfast (toast, bagel, banana, orange, coffee, etc!). VERY clean and well maintained place. Staffs are VERY nice and friendly.... more

I stay in a single room with shared toilet there for four nights. Apart from the location, this hotel needs to put more afford on improving its service. In my room there is a cable tv, a microwave and a small fridge. I thought the fridge was kinda redundant for the winter, but I was wrong. I put a bag... more

The hotel is pleasant enough for the price. We had a twin room, good size with a tv. Decor needs improving very badly but our room was clean and cleaned daily by eccentric cleaning staff. Bathroom/showers ok and clean but again could do with a refurb. The staff were a mixed bunch, the manager and another guy were very friendly,... more
