Washington Plaza Hotel
The hotel is much nicer than I was expecting. The room wouldn’t win any beauty prizes, but the bed was super comfortable, the staff was very friendly and the standard checkout time of noon was very much appreciated.

The shower had mildew in the corners and there was hair all over the floor. The room was dingy and rundown.
