| Hotel is located a few blocks from the National Gallery on the mall. The area is quiet with several very nice restaurants in the immediate area. Like most conversions a little weird (it was formerly a post office) but overall a very agreeable hotel.

| I thought it was a nice hotel, with a friendly staff and a good central locaton in the city. I was disapointed that the view from my room looked directly into another guest room. But overall, I felt like it was a quality hotel. It had amazingly high ceilings and interesting flow through the hotel. It was an intresting experience staying in a hotel that was converted from a federal buliding.

| My daughter and I stayed a week and had the time of our lives. The hotel and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. No mechanized wake-up calls here! We had a nice, friendly voice that would cheerfully wake us up and offer to call back again in 15 minutes if we wanted. The food was amazing! We ate at the hotel restaurant every night except one and regretted that night. Close to all major DC attractions. We walked everywhere except to the zoo.

| It began when my cab pulled up to the front door. This burly guy in a suit opened the door, looked at me and my bag and gave me a "well, what are you waiting for?", look. On to the room. The bedside lamp had a short, causing the light to flicker on and off, the coffee pot was broken. Overall the room was sparse and poorly laid out.
