Good value and GREAT location
This was our last stop on a 3 week holiday that took us to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Bora Bora and Washington. We stayed there 3 nights. 
The best aspect of this hotel is it's location, just next to the capitol meaning we could walk to see all the museums along the mall. We were there during the heat wave so it was a little difficult to walk around through.
The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. I asked by email to have a quiet room and they gave me just that which was great. We didn't have much of a window, but we didn't mind as we wanted to be away from the road. The bed is very soft, the room dimensions is sufficient and the TV has all the channels you need. Bathroom was functional and clean. The only downside we experienced was the confirmation from other reviews that when you have a connecting door to another room, you hear everything your neighbor is doing. Luckily we had some pretty quiet neighbors, though they woke up earlier than us and they woke us up with their hair dryer. Apart from that and our jet lag from Bora Bora, we slept very well. 
Breakfast is not included in the price but their pub has a nice breakfast for a reasonable price. 
If I go back to washington I would stay there again to have easy access to all the attractions. However there is not much around the hotel itself (e.g. no shops). My wife mentioned that next time she would want to be closer to Georgetown to profit from the numerous boutiques. So for those of you who want to focus on shopping this is not the hotel for you, the Geortown area is more appropriate. However if you want to visit the Capitol and the mall (and all the museums), this hotel is perfectly located at a reasonable price. 
I would recommend this hotel to a friend if they go sightseeing in Washington.
