Trendy hotel in the heart of DC-great location!
I booked this hotel for my husband for a conference and it exceeded my expectations. I don't know if it had been recently renovated but it was very clean, with an Asian decor since it's right in the heart of Chinatown. the free breakfast in the morning was lovely with a lot of variety, and I enjoyed the free coffee and tea left available to customers all day long. the staff was very friendly as well.
the location is amazing! i used to live in DC so i can tell you its a great place for anyone visiting from out of town. it's a few blocks from the Chinatown metro which is easy access to the yellow to National airport or a few stops from Union station. it's also only a quick 15 minute walk from union station and 8 minutes from the convention center. very close to the national mall and the major sites. 
enjoy!
