We were going specifically to the Library of Congress to view a movie from 1927. The Capitol Hill Suites is literally right across the street from the Madison building. Our suite was huge! Basically, they are apartments that have been converted to rental suites. Very nice, clean and in great location for walking. The Capitol building, Supreme Court, Library of Congress and many more attractions within a decent walking distance. Trust me, I'm a big guy and the walking was enjoyable.
The only down side to staying here is the availability of parking. IF you are lucky enough to be able to use their valet parking, be prepared to pay $32 per day. When we arrived, they had no parking available so we had to go park at Union Station (about 2 miles away). Aside from the aggravation of having to park so far away, it was actually cheaper ($22 per day) to park at the Station. So even with a cab fare to go pick my car up upon checkout, I saved $10 overall. Cab fare was about $6 from the hotel to Union Station.
Continental breakfast was good. It is located in the annex building, so you might actually have to walk from one building to the other (outside).
Within walking distance to several restaurants (1 block away).
Thought the price of $99 per night was extremely reasonable considering it was in the heart of DC.
The presence of Capitol Hill police on almost every corner also makes this a very safe place to stay and walk. Be advised that to enter all attraction buildings in DC requires each person to go through security and metal detectors.
