Underwhelming
My family and I stayed here and felt we got a good rate for the room, but the general low quality of the hotel disappointed us. Like other reviewers, we were disappointed in the amenities of the room, and some aspects of the service. Concierge service was not available when we needed to find a local grocery store, and our initial query at the front desk provided very POOR directions leading to a full hour running in circles at 9 p.m. at night. (The second attempt was remarkably better, but only came after I returned to the hotel and waited in line for another 15 minutes). The restaurants in the hotel lobby were overpriced. The shower in the room was very low quality for a hotel of this kind. The television was old with a remote control that worked poorly. And, as a family with two young children, it would have been nice to have a small refrigerator and/or microwave for snacks and early morning breakfast, but these weren't provided. Also, I wanted to save a bit by self-parking (instead of paying higher fees and tips for valet service), and received very poor directions for the parking lot. There was no apparent entry point for any parking area. After two or three trips in circles, I ended up going with valet service. Even still, the price of parking was outrageous. As a family with young children making our first family trip to DC, we would recommend finding a different hotel if you're in our situation, unless upgrades are made and basic amenities improve. 
The location was really good, but the surrounding area is pretty dead compared to locations north of the Mall.
