This is a great hotel. however, if you are coming to DC for the national museums, be aware that it is not close to the National Mall. There is a Metro bus stop close to the hotel and the the Metro system is very reliable. Just be aware that you will spend a significant amount of time traveling to and from this hotel to your destination.

Stay was ok, but definitely room for improvement. Our sink drain was very slow. I notified a man at the front desk. Nothing was done. We had issues with our room key not working and had to make 3 trips down for another one. The floors were kinda sticky. A very dark brown, so hard to see, but felt dirty. The sheets under the fitted sheets were dirty. The shower had weird large sticker over the tiles. one reason I chose the location was for the free breakfast. It was lacking in variety and taste and quality. We had a three nights stay and they ran out of cream cheese on our first morning there. Never got any more for the bagels. The water for hot tea was only lukewarm. The beds were pretty comfy, and staff was ok, but I probably will not stay here again. Oh, it was very loud as well. Older windows that let noise in.
