Good choice
We visited D.C. without planning. With only two days in the city we wanted a convenient location without an outrageous price. We happened to find the Beaon and checked to see if they had rooms available. The price was acceptable considering the close proximity to so many tourist sites, restaurants and shopping.
The desk staff was very friendly and helpful. They offered suggestions when asked and provided directions to see the sites. 
My three kids and I were pleased with the spacious room with comfortable, full sized beds. Our room was very clean, the bathroom was large with a safe and lots of storage space.
I didn't get to check out the rooftop bar but the hotel restaurant was fine. Initially the service was slow but the food was good.
Hotel guests can have access to use the YMCA across the street.
For an impromptu visit to the city I was very pleased and hope to visit again for a longer stay.
