Convenient
First time there it's a little odd figuring out where to go from the metro stop (Lenfant Plaza) but once you figure that out (You head through the capitol gallery building) it's a really convenient location. 1 block walk to lenfant plaza metro which has multiple lines on it. Your only 1.5 blocks off of the mall and basically right behind the air and space museum so if you are there for tourism very convenient. Btw when you head to metro in the morning left out of hotel into building directly straight ahead.. hit up the vie de france cafe for some great pastries for breakfast very yum and better than the restaurant stuff in the hotel. The bar/restaurant thing at night in the hotel isn't that great imo more of a sports bar and the service in it while ok isn't great. Rooms are very nice from the couple of times I've been there. You may hear trains now and then as you are very close to VRE train station.
