The staff makes this hotel fantastic!!!!!
The place seems new, the area is a bit busy and a car is a plus in the area. There is a fee for parking per day, around $15. The rooms were nice and if you do get an upgrade the suites are large with a couch and two tv's flat screen. The pool was freezing cold and the hot tub looked ok, we didn't use these, we were told by a maintenance man that we could use the facilities next door I believe it was the Fairfield Inn by Marriott. The pool was small but really warm and the hot tub was almost unbearably HOT which was fine with us, and the area was never crowded. The breakfast was good and varied and complimentary. They even kept it going after stated hours due to the high volume of guests. We forgot a good pillow of ours on the bed and called about it and the AMAZING front desk lady I believe her name was Tiara was AWESOME, we had it the next afternoon via UPS which was fantastic and my husband is once again reunited and snoring on it as review,is being written.
The whole experience was really wonderful all except the little glitch of head housekeeping who showed up with a clipboard knocking on our door at intervals after 11:45 asking if we were leaving, although we had late checkout at 2 so we felt forced to leave early. This happened to our friends in another room also. Understandably the cleaning woman with her must've wanted to be done and go home, but.....meanwhile management had no issues with us staying and never rushed us. 
KFC was across the street which was busy but negotiable. There is a gas station with emergency snacks etc in parking lot a short walk away. BTW the hotel lobby has some light fare such as ice cream and frozen dinners and beer for a price $$$ . Don't look for beer at gas stations in DC and late Sunday. All in all nice experience and good people.
