Pros:

The location is nice. Metro and busses are nearby. I am not sure how much one would want to use busses in Washington, but thats that.

Cons:

Although we asked way in advance and we did not pay for the cheapest room, we could not get a room on a higher floor. Out of so many floors, only the 2nd was free for us apparently.

Lovely place to stay that is close to the train station.
Pros:

Location to Union Station. The rooms and the hotel staff.

Cons:

The woman at the entrance to the restaurant in the morning for breakfast. Not friendly at all and absolutely without any personality!!!
