Hotel is located adjacent to the metro so it is very easy to get to and from Ronald Regan Airport. We arrived early and were able to check in with no problems. Checkout is also a breeze. The front staff is very nice and attentive. They have a hosted wine hour every evening and cookies are out in mid afternoon. If you are a Kimpton In Touch member (which is free) you get a $10 raid the mini fridge coupon and free internet. The hotel is located across the street from the Portrait Museum, a couple blocks from Ford's Theater, and a short walk from the mall. The hotel is located in a neighborhood with lots of food options and shopping. There is a CVS across the street which we went to buy snacks.
The only quips I would have is that the shower had no shelf (besides for the soap) at all and the only place you had to place shampoo and etc either on the floor on the top of the shower door. There also seemed to be a wedding or some sort of event on the 1st night there (sat), in which they were like setting up the appetizers right down from our room in the hallway. It was shrimp I think, so the hallway reeked for almost a day afterward. I just thought that was very peculiar. Also the rooms are not completely sound proof so you can hear people in hallways in the morning.
We stayed in a basic room on the 3rd floor. It was small but I think that is expected for a city hotel, plus we didn't spend a lot of time in the room. The hotel is also eco friendly with recycling in rooms, which I wish more hotels had.
