I can't say enough good things about our recent stay. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite which has a full living room, kitchen, & 2 bedrooms with separate baths & closets. The kitchen was fully stocked with dish service including plates, coffee cups, water glasses, silverware and cooking utensils, paring knives, pots & pans, mixing bowls, even wine glasses! I had packed a lot of these things to take with me, not knowing what would be in the room. I didn't need to bring most of the supplies I packed. There's also a full frig, sink, microwave and dishwasher. Kitchen table seats 4. We had 3 adults and a 16 mth baby in our party and were absolutely thrilled with the space and privacy this room allowed us. The hotel will provide a portable crib on request-- we brought our own. This fit nicely into one of the bedrooms. The buffet breakfast available from 6:30AM to 9:30Am is WONDERFUL - anything you could possibly want to eat/drink and very tasty, and best of all FREE. The staff was always friendly & helpful. We arrived at 10PM and were able to park on the street for free till 7AM, then moved our car into the hotel garage. The rate is pretty steep ($34.50/nite) but I did notice (too late) that there's another garage next door for $14/nite. The metro is around the corner and down one block. The National Mall/Smithsonian museums are about 10 minute walk (3 -4 blocks). I gave the location a 4 star rather than 5 only because there aren't a lot of other businesses such as restaurants or shops nearby, at least none that we could find easily. But as noted, the metro is very close, and taxi cabs were very easy to get. Everything else was 5 star for me. On one of our outings the wheel fell off of our baby stroller and we were panicked. Upon arriving back at the hotel we mentioned it to the hotel staff just hoping they could direct us to a bike shop or somewhere to have it repaired. The hotel immediately offered to send an engineer to our room to look at the stroller, which they then fixed for us. It's little things like this that make a world of difference to traveling parents with small children. We wanted to just move in and never leave! If/when I ever return to DC I will definitely stay here again.
