Nice location
This hotel is about 4 blocks phill from the DuPont circle subway stop. The area 2 blocks up and 2 the right of the hotel is awesome. Tons of restaurants and lots of nightlife. Any type of cultural food you want can be found here. The 
Ovation of the hotel affords you the opportunity to get away from the tourists and experience a little bit of the local flavor! I recommend eating breakfast at "the Diner" and dinner at "La Tomate". Both really close to the hotel.
