Nice place, but the pool makes it.
A well located, nice, clean hotel. The decor is sharp. The thing that makes this a perfect place to stay in DC is the pool. It is a great get-away from the city and is very well maintained. There are plenty of chaises to relax on and there is a friendly service staff to bring you a cocktail or lunch by the pool. The only complaint is a minor one - the water doesn't flow so well from the shower and even though we brought it to the hotel's attention, there probably isn't much they could do about it. We had a blast at the Washington Plaza and would totally go back.
