We had lunch at the Mitsitam Café at the National Museum of the American Indian. It is a bit pricey for lunch but one of the better lunch choices in the area.

Nothing to write home about.

It was nothing to get excited about but for the money in that location - 2 blocks from the "MALL" it was a deal and the room was clean - the staff friendly.

The hotel breakfast was $14.95 each - That would have been over $60.00 for us! So we walked the 1/2 block to McDonalds - breakfast for 4 - $12.00!

Spring Break 2011

This location is great for visiting the the sights. Our rooms were on the 5th floor and facing the train tracks that blew their horn many times during the night. A mircrowave would have also been nice to accompany the refridgerator that was in the room.

Great location, clean hotel

The hotel is in a great location to visit Smithsonian museums and other D.C. must-see spots. One and a half blocks from the L'Enfant metro stop, which can be taken from Reagan National airport. For the location, the price is excellent. The hotel isn't the nicest in the area, but for the price, it's not bad. If you're interested in night-life, stay somewhere around Dupont Circle instead.

Unbeatable location

They were wonderful and even allowed me to check in early as I arrived at 11:30 a.m. The location was amazing near all the museums. I even forgot my toothbrush and they gave me one. The room service menu was excellent and very well priced, since I was working I ate in my room.
