10/10 Excellent
"Room was a great size. There were five of us and we fit comfortably. The location was great. Quick walk to the National Mall. Breakfast was very good. We went at peak times and still were able to get a table and the lines were not too long. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend. "
