I like to travel to DC to relax and see the sights at least two or three times each year for two or three nights and thought I would change my location from Maine Avenue, SW (Channel Inn) to New York Avenue, NE, The Comfort Inn & Suites Near Union Station. It has clean, lots of amenities that I did not use and the cleaning staff were very nice and did not make a lot of noise like most hotels in the morning. I booked my room weeks in advance, however I do not think I will return. I did not like the location and you really can not walk in the neighborhood. When I booked on-line they advertise front room views. However, when I checked-in, I was nicely told that my room was on the third floor rear and there were no available rooms in the front, (my view: flat roof and railroad tracks with trains speeding by). So much for booking early. Their directions are misleading too, (turn right onto NY Ave (US 50), (the Comfort Inn will be on your left side.) NOT....if you are lucky to arrive at rush hour like me, you sit in traffic for about an hour to get to1600 NY Ave once you turn on NY Ave at 7th street. Bottom line if you stay at this location you need to give yourself plenty of time to get where you need to be.
