Too far from Metro. Over priced. A bit generic. Breakfast was so-so.
Pros:

Break fast was generic

Cons:

Seems over priced. Room overhead could not be turned off.
Breakfast is helpful, but it was mediocre. Too

Excellent location and reasonable price, with clean and modern rooms.
Pros:

The check-in receptionist was incredibly customer-service oriented and very friendly, while also supportive and professional. The valet attendant was also very friendly, professional and helpful.

Cons:

Access for check-in if unloading a car is very difficult. Valet parking is excessively expensive!

Good value for money
Pros:

We had a pleasant and rather budget-friendly stay. The location was good, a quiet street, within walking distance from the Union Station and the National Mall. Good breakfast (but come in time - at 9:30 sharp they close the buffet). Coffee and hot water available in the lobby 24h. Standard facilities.

Cons:

We had some issues with water leaking from the shower cabin and from the toilet flush tank. The USB charging outlets were bent and unusable.
