The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from major attractions like the National Mall and several museums. The rooms were spacious and generally clean, but some maintenance issues were present, like stained carpets and pillows. Service was friendly, and having a Starbucks on-site was a nice touch. However, dining options were limited in the surrounding area, and the parking fees were quite steep.
