great location at an affordable price. it's close to the national mall so you can walk to the smithsonians, the national gallery. if youre able, you can do a loop from the hotel to the white house, to the lincoln, and then back to the hotel in a 5mile loop. staff are very welcoming too (keeida was awesome). the rooms are nice but the bathtubs have this non slip sticker that looks gunky and gross so had to take a star off the cleanliness field. the parking is convenient although the spots are a bit tight. dining is limited but there is a mcdonalds around the corner. the atrium cafe has great breakfast.
