Great location. Pity about the price.
You walk into a very open lobby with a massive atrium around which the rooms are situated over some 11 floors. The welcome was warm as the doorman showed me to the check-in desk. I was here on business and the check-in process was quick and very smooth.
The hotel is undergoing a major refurbishment. They apologised upfront and offered a gift voucher to 'sooth the pain' . To be fair once you get to the room you realise that they are in need of a significant upgrade. The room was clean and spacious. However, everything (aside from the 42 inch TV) was very tired. The power sockets were loose in the wall. The air conditioning unit was loud and blew air straight at the desk. The bathroom had basic amenities and was functional.
There is a gym in the hotel. However, it closes at 6 pm (Sunday) and at 9 pm (weekdays). There is a $10 charge for residents (allows use throughout the day). It has plenty of equipment. Though it is a little cramped. 
As you might expect with a hotel this size it has a number of restaurants plus an on site Starbucks (if like me that is your preferred brand). I used the Bar and Bistro. This is cosy and with an unusual bar menu. I had the mini-burgers with a glass of red wine. Just perfect when you are setting yourself up for a week's work. The nice thing about bars in American hotels is they make you feel comfortable whether you are with a group, your partner or your iPad.
The hotel is well located and within a 15 minute walk of the museums, The White House and The Mall with plenty of good quality restaurants near by.
Overall, this is a reasonable hotel. It was very pricey for what it offered but that maybe related to its location or local pricing.
