Rude staff, room not set up for business,
Do not consider this hotel for your stay in washington. The rooms are poky, mine didn't have a desk but a side table and a mismatched chair and no nearby power outlet. The paid for internet (why when its free in Starbucks and faster? Because thet like to rip you off) was so slow I couldn't use skype. The A/C is noisy. There was dirt, an earplug in the corridor for days by my room suggesting no one was cleaning. The breakfast was derisory in my B&B package so I had to go out for breakfast. When I comment on several issues the front of house staff, especially the childish Brad, 'duty manager' didn't muster an apology and didn't fix a thing but started giggling with his colleague as I walked away. Great customer service. 
This hotel is a franchise not a starwood owned property and it shows. Much as the Westin city centre is tired it is a vasty better place than this dump.
