Great place to stay in DC.
I enjoyed this hotel very much. It was clean and comfortable. I found the front desk staff, especially the evening staff, very friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for a trendy hotel hot spot near nightlife and restaurants this is not the place. As other reviewers pointed out the neighborhood does shut down around 6:30 p.m. The hotel provides a very basic breakfast (probably my least favorite part of the hotel) daily and a decent dinner Monday through Wednesday. The hotel convenience store is nice but expensive. Avoid it and get something down the street at CVS. There is a pizza place next door that is open later and it was very good. Their gelato was delicious. I loved the Paul Mitchell hair products and I liked how spacious the room was. Free internet is always nice. The hotel is just a few blocks from the capitol and located a block and half from the metro stop. DC has the easiest metro system to maneuver and you should not be afraid to take it from the airport. Do know if you are traveling alone that after 9 the walk from the metro to the hotel can be a bit unnerving because there is no one around. However, I walked home three nights and had no problems. If you walk down the hill a bit there is a CVS. It closes very early (like 6pm) but is a very short walk. 
My only real complaint was one of the same other reviewers had: housekeeping. It was not a big deal and did not ruin my stay but was annoying. They did not pay attention to the do not disturb sign and woke me up early knocking. They also did not clean my room one day. Seemed a bit unorganized but nothing major. Overall I enjoyed my stay.
