Perfect Walking Location

We made a quick weekend trip to DC with our young daughter, planning to hit the highlights and enjoy walking DC. This hotel made all that so easy, with a great location and ease of accommodations. While it is large, and there was obvious meeting traffic, the restaurant and Starbucks made getting a quick breakfast easy, then out the door for sight-seeing. We walked to the Spy Museum just a few blocks away, China Town for pizza at Matchbox, the Hoover building, Navy Memorial, then on to the Mall with all the sites which was 1 mile away from the hotel total! Having a great location just makes the trip to DC that much better. The hotel was comfortable and quiet, all the staff was so nice and helpful.

Great Location, great staff

Pros: Location
We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in late august 2015. We really liked this hotel, it is situated in a good location many good restaurants nearby and within walking distance 3-4 blocks of the Metro. Rooms were clean and the hotel was very clean also. The only slight negative was that the refrigerator in the room needed to be defrosted. But that's hardly worth downgrading this hotel in my opinion
