Extremely pleasant stay here.
We stayed for 3 nights. 1 adult and an 11 year old on a D.C. trip. This hotel could not have been more convenient or accomodating. Barbara at the front desk is a gem. When I planned this trip at the last minute I called several hotels. Barbara answered the phone and she is the reason I selected this hotel. We hopped on the Circulator from the train station and we were at the front door of the hotel in 10 minutes, for $1.00 each. The building itself is older, like most hotels in DC. But it is extremely clean and the friendliness of the entire staff makes for a great stay. The Circulator bus picks up just outside the hotel, and the Metro train station is just a short walk. McDonalds is just a short walk which makes it easy to feed the kids breakfast. The only flaw in the stay is when we tried the restaurant. Very poorly managed, short staffed, and an unpleasant atmosphere. I should have gone with my first instincts and left after we stood at the front door for a very long time without being greeted ( Friday night, 3 tables taken, and only 1 server on duty).
Other than that, everything else in the hotel gets a big 2 thumbs up !! (expecially Barbara)
