We stayed her four nights and the location could not have been better for sightseeing. In decent weather with good shoes, all the central DC attractions are within walking distance. It was, of course, beastly hot, so we caught cabs down to the White House and the Mall a few times--eminently reasonable rides ($7-12). As we arrived in town on Amtrak, it was also a similar cab ride from Union Station.
The neighborhood itself, Logan Circle, offers a handful of truly tasty food just a block away, from pubs to gelato to a Whole Foods and even a wine/liquor store. The in-house restaurant served a fine breakfast buffet, including made-to-order omelettes.
The linens were clean and crisp, the staff were friendly, and the rooms, though small, were adequate for sleeping. Bed was comfortable.
The only issue was Wi-Fi (which is free--a nice bonus, considering I've paid $15/day in other hotels for Wi-Fi access). Our initial room was on the 5th floor, at the end of one wing--a lovely view, but outside the range of their router. No signal at all. Staff accommodated us by moving us to a different floor and a room behind the elevators. Honestly, I didn't mind the elevator noise. It was a fair trade for being able to get online with my iPad all week.
We will return and stay here again. For our purposes, it was ideal. (And we don't need luxury accommodations. This was affordable.)
