roomy and the kitchen was a big plus
The hotel is minutes away from Foggy Bottom Metro and total time to Federal Triangle or Smithsonian stop for sight seeing for us was never more than 20 minutes door to door. The rooms are spacious and the full kitchen (full size fridge, four burner stove and oven, micro wave etc) was great. We grabbed some things at Trader Joe's and WholeFoods. The coffee beans and grinder were a nice touch. There was a balcony but no furniture out yet.
The room was clean and the staff friendly.
The only down side was the siren noise from the ambulance entrance to GW Hospital and a nearby police station. We were on the 8th floor and fronted the hospital, I think the back rooms would be better. We also couldn't get good WIFI so if that is important to you check on it.
