This is a very unique place. It is an active hotel and a museum rolled into one. There are dozens of rooms with little hidden nooks, rooms and literal secret passages with lots of pulp culture and American history spread all over the place. Everything from The Beatles to Rosa Parks to comic book heroes. It's just wild!There's no doubt that it can be overwhelming at times and some of the passageways can be narrow so you may have to let go of some personal space issues if you have them. But there is just so much cool stuff it really "must visit" spot in DC.Keep in mind that it is an active hotel so rooms may or may not be available to explore but this place really is fun.One gripe I have is that because of where it's at around 19th Street parking can be a bit of a pain in the butt so plan ahead for that. The staff was wonderful, friendly and very informative. This place is a lot of fun.
