Never again .furious lied about accomidations
Pros:

I was told i had a handicap room after traveling thousands of miles and slipping in shower find out from front desk that they have no handicap rooms. Couldnt shower without a chair in it. No room to get around in my wheelchair.

Cons:

Except for one indian boy at checkin staff was rude especially the breakfast employee. 30 people and no cinnamon rolls/bread/oatmeal/sausage/apples/eggs/bagels/muffins talked to employee she said she wasnt filling any more food which left our party of 6 with cold cereal or nothing to eat so we got no breakfast.every night we were never given 6 towels only 2 we had 6 in our room. Front desk said can not leave to get them.

Buena
Pros:

Desayuno esta bien. La ubicación esta bien.

Cons:

Las sabanas parecen plásticas son incomodas, tuve que solicitar 3 veces que me alistaran el sofá cama, cuando desde el inicio de la reserva se indico que se necesitaba, ademas a la hora del check In y luego 2 veces por telefono del cuarto a la recepcion y al final solo nos enviaron las sabanas y tuve que hacer el sofa-cama yo mismo

Too expensive. don't use the parking
Pros:

It is quiet.

Cons:

Parking is over price. 280USD pour 2 jours/3nuits. It is scandalous.

Breakfast is not very good. At 9 a Sunday almost nothing ...

A little bit far from the subway.

The bathroom was not very clean ...

Great spot to stay while visiting Washington DC! Good breakfast and location!
Pros:

It was clean upon arrival. Housekeeping was done as needed and they made sure we had what we needed for our 7 night stay! The staff was friendly and helpful. Appreciated having breakfast included (a reason why we picked this hotel) and the coffee/tea area always available!

Cons:

Overall we had a great stay, just a bummer the pancake maker was in need of repairs the whole 7 days!
