Nice hotel, convenient location!
The hotel is very nice, rooms are accomodating--ours had a mini-fridge which was handy for our 6 night stay. We realized after our first night there that there are a bunch of restaurants on the Metro level (below the lobby) which the front desk didn't tell us about--that is also where you can catch the Metro and you don't ever have to go outside. Very convenient! Wifi is not free, but that's about typical. Pool is nice, rooftop and even though they say it's heated, it is still not very warm. It is about 3/4 mile walk to the Washington Monument--we actually had a beautiful view from our room of the monument. The Smithsonian Musuems are not far, along with the National Mall. I would not recommend driving, just because of lack of parking and ease of access to the Metro. Our cab ride was $16 from DCA airport. We also walked to the "Wharf" and had dinner..very nice!
