Very convenient for a trip to D.C./National Mall! Shuttle to and from Ballston MU in the morning and evening is great. Good breakfast and coffee!! The beds could be softer but overall nice rooms. I’d stay there if I visit DC and encourage others to stay there too. Front desk was mostly pleasant.

Front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Parking is convenient and sheltered. Location is safe and within walking distance to amenities and even a wetland. Shuttle service is provided to nearby metro. Love the breakfast especially the self-made waffle. Certain facility needs improvement: our main door does not close properly and bathroom shower tap needs effort to turn on. Overall we are satisfied with our stay and would recommend booking this hotel.
