No frills, basic stay
If you’re in Washington to see the sights and restaurants, this is a good base. About 6 blocks north of the White House. The usual extended stay type room with a separate seating area and a kitchen area. The areas are in one big room, not a separate room for sleeping. Furnishings are in good shape except for the chair in the sitting area which was well worn. The room was very clean. The hotel does offer a great breakfast. A much better selection than the usual breakfast offerings that pretty much all hotel chains offer now. Choice of USA Today or Washington Post newspapers. There supposedly is an evening reception as well but only 3 nights a week and I was there on the nights where it’s not offered so I can’t review it. Business center and free Wi-Fi are available. Nice touch since a lot of downtown hotels charge for either. No gift shop or anything else in the small lobby area but there is a 24 hour CVS right next door so who needs it. Parking is $28 a night which is on par for the area. Only trick is its valet only, not self service so you have to call ahead for your car and of course, have a tip ready. TV lineup is above average though the internet is V-E-R-Y slow. All in all a very good basic stay. Price is on the high side but comparable for the area.
