This hotel is the renamed Statler Hilton, one of the grand hotels of the Hilton brand. So it is an old building they are trying to remodel. As others have said, the location can't be beat, but book at the Hotwire rate ($89 for us weekend of November 8). Everything is extra here, so the low rate helps to offset the other costs. Parking is $40, and if you really need it, internet is $13. Our room was in the part of the building where the floor plan is a U shape. We were on one of the legs of the U. In the center of the U on a roof a few floors down was a large red tinted rectangular spot light (almost searchlight sized) that shone on the building all night. Our room did not have any window treatments that could shut out the bright glow, it only had sheers. With the lights on in the room, you don't notice it. At bedtime, the room was radiant. It was too late to attempt a room change as we were already in bed. So, if you go for the location and low Hotwire price, check your view immediately for this beacon and whether you have room darkening curtains that close. If not, get another room. Also, our room did not have a small fridge or kitchen area as mentioned by another. The in room coffee maker was on the window sill. We did not eat at the hotel as there are several places within a few blocks. Cosi and Starbucks within two blocks for breakfast. DC Coast on 14th and K was excellent for dinner.
