Central location in DC
The hotel is in a converted bank building - you can see the vault in the basement. The lobby is one of a kind - clearly a converted use building, but you'll probably not spend much time here. Basement fitness center is adequately furnished; pool is suitable for kids who want to splash, not for anyone who wants to swim laps. I got the impression that the free wi-fi and breakfast coupons were a special consideration given my corporate reservation, but perhaps everyone gets this offer. It's half a block from the Gallery Place yellow line stop - a real benefit when it's raining and you forgot an umbrella. You'll feel like you're in the heart of the capital at this location.
