Perfect location. Lots of kids. Not for business.
Location was perfect for our commando-style tour of DC. Close to GW/Foggy Bottom Metro stop, Whole Foods Market, Dupont Circle. May be a bit far from the Mall for those who don't like to walk. Staff was extremely friendly and property was very clean. Much quieter rooms than I typically experience in DC. Arrived late and ate in Nicola's, the in-house restaurant. Salads and pizza were very good and reasonably priced. Two relatively minor negatives: (1) elevators that are too few and too slow; and, (2) lots of kids in need of general supervision/manners training. I am a parent and traveled with my kids from an early age, and still do now that they're teenagers. My issue isn't with the fact that there were kids, it's with the general lack of manners and instruction/reinforcement regarding what consitutes appropriate (indoor) public behavior. If people (parents/chaperones) let their kids behave like this in public, I can only imagine how they behave at home and/or school.
