This hotel is perfectly located for exploring DC. Acess to the metro is less than a 3 minute walk. The neighborhood is charming, filled with old brownstones, great restaurants, and embassies. The Sunday farmer's market is incredible. So here is the bad news-the hotel is dirty and the desk staff hostile to customers. Our bathroom had mold growing in it and when I used a towel to mop up spilled water, it came up black. The front desk staff, with the exception of John, is just rude. We decided to check out a day early and when I spoke with the front desk staff she said I had a nonrefundable reservation (which I didn't.) Then she refused to give me a printout reflecting our shorter stay until I insisted. I can't imagine why the front desk staff was consistently rude. These folks must hate their jobs.
