Staff were very accommodating and professional. Easy walk from Metro, direct line from Ronald Reagan Airport. The room was clean and comfortable and I was lucky to get a room that faced the courtyard. As a single female in dc on business it was great, for walking and there is a taxi stand right outside. Close to museums and capitol.

Good location for going to the museums. Nothing close by at night. Get a room facing fRont. The back is a rail line that is quite load!

Bluntly, this place is run by 2-year-olds, with the work ethic of 102-year-olds. Oh, and it's LOUD. The VRE (train) runs right behind the building. But, really, it was the kids that roamed the halls like they were at a HS dance that really kept me awake at night. There are always kids in D.C., for some darn thing, but this was crazy!
And, I get it, they are teen-agers, they will be loud, but when I complained at 10 p.m. and then again at 11, nothing was done. The front desk treated it as a bother ...

Yes, the location is very good if you are up for the Smithsonian, mall and things like that. Just don't expect a good sleep. Yeah, I'm still cranky a week later ...

The exercise facility is also a joke. It's tiny with very, very little equipment. What's up with that?!

The bar was pretty good and the people there were nice and helpful -- thankfully. But $6 for a 12-oz. draft beer? The food was pretty good and reasonably priced.

The rooms are OK, but a bit rundown for the price (probably all the kids wrecking them).

Finally, the Metro is about five minutes away, so there's that.

I won't be back.

We had a four night stay here in December 2011. We were a family of four and had requested a room that would accomodate a roll away bed. Specifically chose this hotel as we were assured that the room would fit an extra bed. Well, the roll away fitted, but only just. There was very little room left to move around or to access our suitcases. We also found the train noise to be quite excessive. These are diesel trains which run until late at night and again in the early hours of the morning. The elevated track runs directly behind the hotel. On a positive note, the room and bathroom was clean.

While we found the hotel's proximity to the Washington Mall ideal, there is very little else to recommend the location. Apart from the two facilities on offer inside the hotel, and McDonalds and Quiznos outside, there is a dearth of eating options available locally at night.

We didn't find the staff very polite or helpful during our visit compared with other hotels we have stayed in. There was a convention on at the same time we were visiting and I note that staff were very busy with these guests.
