The hotel has a very "W" type of lobby - energetic, modern. The help were all, without exception, very pleasant and willing to assist. The room was comfortable, and the bed very much so...I have back problems, but slept very well in the bed. Room service was fast, and the food delicious.
If you are staying close to the time this review is written, ask to not be give a room facing 9th street...there is a lot of construction on the buildings across the pay parking lot across the street...unsightly. I asked for another room and they graciously accommodated my request and I had a courtyard view (nothing to look at in the court yard, but it was quiet).
I purchased a Washington DC open top bus tour from the concierge at the hotel and it picks up right in front of the lobby.
If you want to be in walking distance of the Capital Building and the museums, this hotel is a bit far away. But a 48 hour pass (only $48) on the hop on and off open top buses makes everything accessible from the hotel.
If you have a event at the convention center, that is right across the street.
