I traveled with my wife and kids (5, 8) between Christmas and New Years... The hotel is in a great location - only a couple of blocks to the Metro in Chinatown (Gallery stop). Free Wi-Fi and breakfast is a good benefit. However, there were a few issues which could have just been random: one of the two elevators were broken and it was busy = long waits up and down (bad when you're on the 8th floor). It was a holiday weekend and Mgr said they were not able to get someone there until Monday. The bathroom had fecal matter all around the toilet and floor when we arrived. Requested a cleanup and it was not complete (there is another side to the toilet). Mgr apologized, addressed the problem, and comped us a night without asking - ok. There was also a dirty toenail and random hairs in the bed - but I didn't tell my wife about that one...There are a variety of restaurants in Chinatown - Matchbox, Tonny Chengs are good bets... as well as Thunder Grill in Union Station (all great with kids)...
Oh, and there is a fire station down 7th so you will hear sirens throughout the night.
Ultimately, I think it was ok - but keep the kids off the floor...
