We just stayed at this property for five nights. My review maybe be somewhat negative due to the time of year we traveled (first week of April). Crowd level was crazy at the hotel as well as all the tourist attractions. Our room was very comfortable, but we found it difficult to sleep due to all the traffic noise. It seems as though sirens were screeching day and night. The breakfast was great except it was always so crowded that it was hard to find a table, and we always had to wait in a very long line regardless of being in the line for omelets or the other line which is more buffet-style. The evening reception was nice with minimal wait time. Different drink special offered each day...rum punch, pineapple punch, etc and snacks were usually chips/salsa, veggies/dip, or fresh fruit.
Area was not as convenient to attractions as we thought. Even though there were three Metro stations close-by, they were still a few blocks away (and also about 1/2 way between the hotel and the attractions). It most cases, we just walked as it seemed silly to get on the Metro and ride to the next stop. Also, the block right in front of the hotel on 10th street is under construction so you always had to go up or down a street to navigate away from the property. It was a lot of walking and I can't stress enough how important it is to have good, comfortable shoes.
There were a few restaurants nearby but most of them were quite expensive and sometimes difficult to find as they are part of larger office buildings and not clearly visible from the street. Most of the time we tried to time our visits to the attractions to eat there vs. the area around the hotel.
I would stay at this property again, but a different time of the year, and also try to utilize the Metro more -- even if it's only a stop or two. Also, the hotel staff were always very friendly and courteous.
