The View
This was so disappointing. This was my first time in Washington and the reason I chose this hotel was because of the location and that we would have an apartment. Unfortunately, the apartment was not clean and we didn't feel comfortable. There were a few doors on the wardrobes which we nearly falling off. The bed sheets didn't look clean. The location is perfect but unfortunately there is buidling work next to the apartments so the main entrance is blocked off so you have to walk around the back to get in. We asked for a fob to use to enter the hotel and the gym but were told that there weren't any available for us?

extra fees every time
This place took be an hour to checkin because they could not get their keycodes straight. The AC only worked half way through the entire trip and could not be fixed. Then they have a cleaning fee that is always changed (160.00) plus 1% of total bill for the facility but is not in the paid balance.

Worst Experience Ever
We booked this apartel for 4 of us for a week. There is not enough space here to list everything that went wrong. Cleanliness. The bath tub had mold around it. The microwave was dirty. Baseboards were filthy. Bedroom carpet was dirty. Amenities. The pool was closed. 3 days of 90 degrees plus but no pool. 4 towels were expected to be enough for the week. Iron did not work. One burner on stove worked. 2 pieces of silverware. No cookware. Facilities. Bedroom was small. Bed was 6 inches from the wall on one side. The door was a sliding door that offered no privacy. Bath faucet leaked. Power outlets seem to work only intermittently. Vertical blinds had missing blinds. Couch/Bed had protruding springs. Table legs were wobbly and unfixable. The living room floor had large gaps in the flooring. There was a new building being constructed 20 feet from our window that began every day at 7 am. Service. Nearly non-existent. The only communication path for service that existed was a phone number to an office in Armenia. I'm serious! You cannot get face to face with anyone that can help you. When the power went out in the bathroom we were told it would probably take a day to get it back on. It turned out to be a breaker behind a screwed on steel panel. I've never considered heat as an amenity but when the weather changed to cold we found there was none. They sent us blankets the next day. This was the worst hospitality experience of our life.

DO NOT STAY HERE If you like comfort or sleep
They moved me from one room to another and they were both the same. Super thin walls, cheap furniture, $44/day parking (even if it only says $14-$22), dirty, uncomfortable bed, loose outlets (phone charger will not stay plugged in unless rigged), construction crews in front of the apartments and behind the apartments start work early (my stay was until 5/12/17), additional 'cleaning charge.' (It is cheaper to spend $130-$150/night at an extended stay hotel. And even though it was 50 degrees outside, and I had the temperature set to 80 inside, but inside it never got warmer than 60 degrees. BUT, the people there at the front desk are nice, and try to help with issues, and they were no bed bugs, so it gets 1 star from me.

Convenience and Location
At the discounted rate this was overall a good bargain. The 1 bedroom apartment was very well located in SW DC near major food store, restaurant and transportations. The apartment was relatively clean and equipped. The only difficulty we had was entry to the apartment. The owner/management company directed us to the wrong address and after an hour running around in the cold and dark, and spending time on the phone with their offsite management who seemed to have no clue, we finally stumbled upon the on site desk concierge who let us in. The on site property manager, Annette, was very pleasant, apologetic and accommodating.

Nothing like the pictures :-(
The housekeeper was very friendly! But the concierge, Romaine, was very rude. Terrible service and she is the reason I will never return and high;y discourage others to come. The rooms was very dated and looked nothing like the pictures. Very uncomfortable. But the wifi was fast and the kitchen was very useful.

Great location, clean, great staff, tired unit
Location directly across the street from Metro station was ideal! Excellent Safeway 1/2 block beyond the Metro station also perfect, so that I could have coffee and breakfast in the apartment. Large one-bedroom apartment was spotlessly clean, but condition was very tired. Building was fine, but the unit I stayed in, despite being clean, had old, permanently stained carpet, chipped plates and cups, and a sofa with no springs left in it at all. I could feel the hard edge of it when I sat. The bed was surprisingly comfortable for one, but I could tell it would have dipped badly in the center had two of us tried to sleep in it. In fairness, for the rate that might be all I can expect. I would stay at the View again for sure, but I think I'd see if a different unit, even at a bit more money, were available. I didn't choose the unit or see pictures of it, by the way. I just chose by location, 1-bedroom size, and price.

Worn out and poorly maintain place..
I booked the hotel online because the pictures looked decent enough and the price was right. When we arrived we notice the place had not been cleaned completely but we tried to overlook that, but once we tried to go to bed we discovered the sheets had not been replaced (they smell) and I tried another set of sheets in the closest and they were clean but stained. I called the number they gave me and they sent a guy with sheets, but he just deliver the sheets (which also looked old) with the expectation I was going to re-do the bed myself, and that was enough. I jumped back online a booked another hotel right away (down the road) and left. This place needs to be totally redone, the furniture is old and worn out (too many college parties here), the carpet was dirty and of course the bed was disgusting.. pay the extra money and go somewhere else..

Sketchy Armenian-run hotel
Ginosi Apartments who manages this property rents this from the Leasing Company for the View Apartments, and most likely does not pay any hotel taxes, which is illegal. Hotels.com should take them off their listings. Moreover Ginosi is not the same as the property concierge, so they are unable to swiftly resolve problems (check in and key handover, report of left belongings). I had to call their Burbank, CA -- in reality they are ALL based in Armenia-- number to follow up on two separate occassions for a three day stay. They also require a lot of paperwork (ID, photo of credit card front and back, authorization form if card holder is not the same as hotel guest) that is not required from other hotels. I am convinced that Ginosi is operating illegally and should be shut down, apart from the horrendous customer service that they provide -- and only through the phone. Very sketchy hotel. I am calling DC Better Business Bureau to report them for lacking hotel license and tax evasion.

Apartel on Waterfront
The area around the hotel is all under construction. The hotel itself is in semi-condition. Lots of dogs in and around the hotel. Noisy. The room itself was not well maintained. Clean but old. Some kind of a stench. Carpet throughout the apartel was stained and dirty. Definitely would not stay there again. The only positive thing about the stay was the nice and helpful lobby staff.

Just a quick note about the hotel. The place has no AC in the rooms, bathroom is very suspicious and I'll probably wear shoes to go in, shower curtain hasn't been changed in at least couple of years and most of the lights don't work. I can even lock this place when I leave because inside locks are all broken off. Has it not been for the fact that I arrived so late I probably would have left and gotten another hotel. Not your fault, you couldn't know, but please make a note for future reference that this is not a place where any of our guys should stay. Plenty of brand name hotels around.
