Excellent location if you want to visit Washington DC or if you are traveling for business
Pros:

Large and clean rooms
Close to the railway station and pretty close to the Capitol
Public transportation in proximity
The breakfast was not complementary. However, the restaurant provided a lot of options for the breakfast. They were delicious and (worth mentioning) they were based on French cuisine

Cons:

The windows couldn't be opened
The TV did not have many programs
There was no IT corner for guests

Superb!
Pros:

Exceptionally clean and large rooms. The hotel is within 5 mins from Union station so very accessible to most sights. The staff, especially at the Bistro du Jour were very friendly, accommodating and went out of their way to make our breakfasts enjoyable. Would definitely come back.
