Features
What to expect: The three-block walk down New Jersey Avenue NW to the U.S. Capitol makes this hotel popular with lobbyists and corporate travelers who have business under the dome or in nearby Congressional offices. This proximity also draws tourists and student groups on weekends and during summer. The hotel does a brisk meeting business during the week.
Amenity highlights: Wireless and high-speed Internet access are available throughout the hotel’s public areas (surcharge). This includes the atrium lobby, enclosed beneath a glass ceiling in the center of the 16-story building, and the Court Bar, which has two billiards tables and plasma-screen TVs.

Insider tip: On Saturdays, Washingtonians head to the outdoor Eastern Market just north of Pennsylvania Avenue on Seventh Street SE, where vendors line the sidewalk, selling produce, antiques, and crafts. Inside the adjacent brick building, Market Lunch serves a hearty breakfast of two eggs, toast, scrapple, and fried potatoes or grits for less than $5. Price subject to change. Nearby are a number of good boutiques and restaurants.

| This is a good hotel very close to Capitol Hill. Rooms were clean and the staff was friendly and efficient. Found parking on the street as parking at the hotel can be $30! The carpets though very clean were a little worn and in need of replacement.

The cleanliness & comfort of entire hotel was first rate. The excercise room was larger than most comparable hotels.

| What I really loved about this hotel was the quiet. We hardly heard a thing from the rooms beside us and we didn't hear any traffic noise. We were only a couple of blocks from the Capitol and Union Station. The only thing we didn't like was the high prices at the hotel restaurant and a very limited menu. We found reasonably priced cafe's and restaurants within walking distance.

| Great location. Easy walk to the capital and national mall. Service was fine. Food was pretty good. The room was quite nice, but in need of maintenance. Little things like water stains on the ceiling and a broken emergency lock on the door. Still a decent value, especially considering the location.

| We were extremely pleased with all aspects of this hotel. The hotel's restaurant was an unexpected 'plus' as well. Our train was delayed upon arrival, and we had no time to take our three kids out to a nearby restaurant. The hotel restaurant was great and had a very reasonable kid's menu. We liked it so much, we ended up eating there (per the kid's request) again another night. I just can't see how you could improve upon this place when you consider quality, comfort/cleanliness, price, and location. Highly recommended!

| Terrible experience. Pillows smelled musty. Toilet ran all night. Room service did a poor job. The restaurant was overpriced and disgusting. The rooms had single cup coffee makers with no cream or sugar. Bathroom grout was in need of cleaning. Poor choice of TV channels. I would not recommend this room to someone I dislike. Do not stay here unless your life depends on it.
