Location and Space
Great location -- 15-minute walk to White House, Georgetown or Dupont Circle, closer to folks pleading for special privileges on K Street or Connecticut Avenue. Downstairs restaurant was great for breakfast on the weekend (half-price coupon from hotel). We upgraded to two suites and found them spacious. No door between living area and sleeping space, two LCD TVs, a kitchenette (one soup pan, one frying pan, little else). Very good staff. Hotel rooms look a bit tired, but generally very nice. We had about a 70% discount from the regular rate (weekend night).
One particularly bad feature is that under-window heating and air conditioning units are extremely noisy and the draft from them might be uncomfortable for sleeping nearby. However, they might help drowned out the traffic noise (it is on a corner).
