While searching for a hotel within our budget, close to downtown DC and hopefully reasonable parking fees, we came across Savoy Suite. It seemed to good to be true.Not only did we get a great rate, we got free parking in a clean, indoor, locked garage! Getting to downtown was a little tricky if you don't go to DC a lot, or are from the country. The hotel is not near a walking Metro station. Once we figured out how to take the Metro bus, which has a pick up near by, we were on our way. We also took advantage of the hotels' shuttle that will take you to the Metro station and pick you back up. From 10:30 am to 4:00pm they do not have service, so you must plan your trips accordingly. One hint for travelers, is to walk a short way to the 24 hour CVS and purchase a metro card. It will make your life easier when taking the bus or the Metro.We did hear later there is a Ciculator Bus nearby that is cheaper than the Metro Bus. I would suggest asking the staff, even though they never mentioned it to us. Staff was very helpful, the rooms were big and clean and the onsite restaurant was convenient, reasonable and food was great. The hotel elevator needs a room passkey in order to use, which is another nice safety feature. A Whole Foods is in the neighborhood, along with the Naval Observatory, where the Vice President resides. The only complaint we have is we found it strange that they only left one washcloth, which can be rectified by going to the front desk to ask for another.
