Great hotel in a really good location
The hotel is located near the National mall, so location is ok, not perfect whether you want to walk to (practically a 20-30 min walk to White house (3 min cab ride), Capitol or the rest of the museum) or if you want to take the capital bikes, there is a spot very near the hotel. im not sure you want to walk/bike during a rainy/cold day. Liked the room (recently updated i guess) and even the design of the hotel was modern. I guess i like modern designs. Staff was very friendly, (rare in these days where the hotel staff are generally very pretentious) the bar was nice and the prices of drinks in the bar are even cheaper than in the bars nearby. Inside the hotel there is a restaurant with an OK breakfast buffet -20 USD (especially if you are in town on a Sunday when most of the restaurants in the area are closed). Starbucks is as well located inside the hotel. Im not sure i would have paid the 340USD /night, if it wasn't for Priceline's deal.
Parking inside for 33 USD, but im sure you can find something cheaper in the area where there are lots of parking places. All in all, I think its an overall very good hotel.
