Very pleased
My wife and I spent a long weekend away in DC without the kids and stayed at the Hampton for 2 nights. We were very pleased. The common areas and rooms are clean and fresh. From our top-floor room we had a view of the Washington Monument. The continental breakfast was your typical Hampton hot breakfast -- which is to say well-done with good variety (eggs, french toast, waffles, breads, muffins, cereals, oatmeal, fruit, juices). The location is good, provided you stay south of Massachusetts Ave. The area deteriorates right past the hotel if you continue up 6th Street. If you stay south, you are fine. About a block south is Chinatown. If you head over a block to 7th Street and head south, there are a bunch of nice bars and restaurants. The Chinatown/Galley Metro station is 3 blocks away at 7th and H Streets -- about a 5 minute walk -- which makes it easy to get to most places in the city with relative ease and minimal expense. We got a terrific rate, presumably because late January is low season, which made the hotel a great value.
