I stayed here for two nights, booking a block of 11 rooms for a small tour group. The hotel was an easy walk (even for senior citizens) to the convention center, the White House, and many museums we visited. There are many very good restaurants within a few blocks. We ate at Bobby Vans around the corner and down NY Ave a couple blocks. Zaytinya, one of the top restaurants in the city was nearby but booked so we couldn't get in - disappointing.
The hotel's extensive, hot complimentary breakfast and the manager's reception with complimentary wine and cocktails were popular with our group and helped keep trip expenses down. The hotel staff was very pleasant and at times went out of their way to be helpful, as in finding a van that held 14 to take us to the Kennedy Center so we didn't have to take several cabs. The suites were also very popular with the group giving everyone lots of room to spread out. My room was on a 9th floor corner and faced the construction site on one side but was not noisey. In fact I took some interesting pictures of the multiple construction cranes silhouetted against the sunrise.
The only problem I had was while making the original reservations for multiple rooms and during check out. The staff seemed to really struggle with the computer system both times. Trying to give me one receipt for the 11 rooms was a major difficulty which took two, sometimes three, people to figure out and an extended time. Either the staff needs better training or the computer system needs to be simplified or both. However, the travelers in my group weren't aware of these difficulties and all gave very positive feedback about their hotel experience. I would definitely consider staying here another time.
