Casual, cheap and well located!
We stayed in a larger 1Kbed suite that has been partially renovated on the 7th floor (new furniture but old carpet and bathroom). Kitchenette is practical but breakfast and dinners are free here so no need to cook much. (small buffet type of setting) The bed and the pillows are very comfortable, there are two flat screen TVs and free wifi. There is not much light in the room as it faces another building and the windows don't open. The gym is small but well equiped for 3 or 4 people to workout at the same time. The location is great - 15min walk to all museums along the Mall. There is a CVS accross the street which is convenient. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to stay in a good and affordable hotel in DC. The staff was very welcoming and quick.
