Great Family Labor Day Weekend Stay!
My family just returned from a wonderful Labor Day weekend stay at the Embassy Suites Washington - Convention Center. What a great value for families! The room was a descent size and was extremely clean. We did get to enjoy the pool/hot tub area on two of the evenings, and it was nice. There was a complimentary breakfast buffet in the morning and was very good. There was an egg station, potatoes, bacon, sausage, bread, fruit, and one day even pancakes; there was enough variety to please everyone. We always got our food around 7:30 and took it up to our suite so that we could enjoy it. There was also a manager’s reception each evening where you could go and have some complimentary snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic/cocktails). They also had lemon and mint water available in the afternoon which was wonderful after coming in from a long day. The staff was very friendly, polite, efficient and helpful from the valet service to the front desk staff. We were getting ready to head back home after receiving our car and the valet gave each one in my family a cold bottle of water and asked if we needed directions to the major highways; this was a very nice touch. 
This hotel is about a 20 minute walk to the Smithsonian Natural History museums and a 10 minute walk to the White House. The hotel is also a couple of blocks (about 5 minutes) from the Metro Center stop which made it convenient to get around. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and even a Starbucks across the street. We would definitely stay at the Embassy Suites Washington - Convention Center again and highly recommend it!
