Great location but older hotel
Let me be clear, the rating is for the location of the hotel. Plenty close enough to the national mall for everything to be done....but you are at the far end by the capitol, so if you want to walk to the Lincoln Memorial it would be a hike....but you will pass all the museums and places you want to visit. They have a pool, used for the kids, and a gym. Restaurants around the area are pretty much non-existent unless you are looking for a bar. Otherwise plan on walking or cabbing to a location. The hotel itself was clean and obviously renovated but the carpet could use some replacing. Everyone was extremely helpful. If you wanted your car, just call 15-20 min before you want it so they can get it ready for you. The big negative to the hotel was that it felt very humid. You weren't sweating in the hotel or in your room but it felt sticky both days I was there. Overall, I'd recommend the hotel over others in the immediate area. The rooms themselves are not spectacular but are at least spacious enough. The bathroom has a vanity but it's barely big enough for two people.
