Room was clean and well kept. The beds are firm but we like firm. Excellent place to stay for a weekend excursions. 2 blocks to the metro. Great quaint restaurants just steps away. Metro 2 short blocks with a Starbucks right at the entrance. Excellent bakery 2 doors down and everything is fresh. May i make sugestion and make sure you have at least one meal at the Viatmese restaurant, authentic excellent food, service is great, open bar and very reasonably priced. We even ordered for our trip home. Golds Gym 1/2 block away, CVS 1 block away with an ATM, barber accross the street. Pizza place right next door, great food with open bar. Bus stop right in front of hotel. Only took us 20 minutes on the metro to the Smithsonian center. You walk off the metro into the cener and you can rent manual bikes, electric scooters, etc. I would also like to compliment Peggy the eveng clerk. She was extremly helpful and knew everything about the area. The area is safe and in a beatiful residential neighborhood. They have early check in and check out. You do have to pay for parking but the area is safe and secure. The hotel does not have many perks but that is fine for short stays. It very convenient for transportation. If you want travel Uber or Lyft, they arrive quick. If your looking for quick travel into the center of DC this is a great location. Please nite you should mail away for your metro cards so you can easiky load your cards with google. You should also download the Veo for scoot
