Nice hotel in Washington
Pros:

Spacious room and bathroom. The bathroom has the shower and the tub separately. Plenty of towels including a bathrobe. Plenty of closets with an iron board and iron. Excellent location to restaurants and the White House.

Cons:

The pillows were not confortable. The air conditioning didn't work very well. It was hot during the midnight even when the temperature was set to 70 degrees.
