The hotel is close to the Metro Station (NOMA) and it was easy to get to Dupont Circle and the Washington Monument. There are dining options (fast food, breakfast and dinner) available within walking distance from the hotel. Union Market is about a 10 minute walk away. Valet parking was expensive ($50 tax). The hotel room and property are clean. The design of our room was poor. We had a King bed with a sofa bed and to fit these both in, the bed was turned to the side to face the window so that we were watching tv at an angle (instead of facing the tv). The room is not big enough for a King bed and sofa bed. To fit both, the bed should have been smaller. There is a microwave and small fridge in the room which is convenient. There are vagrants that come by outside the hotel at night and some approached us for spare change - something to be aware of. Overall we did enjoy our stay at the hotel.
