The staff were really nice. It was the weekend so i was able to park right out front for free. The sleeping pod was nice and the locker was spacious. It was cool that you unlock the doors and the locker with an app on your phone. The kitchen was big and had everything needed to cook. There were plenty of bathrooms but the showers could have been cleaner. The bidets were a nice touch. Breakfast was cooked for each person that wanted it. A woman made scrambled eggs, pancakes, and sausage. It was really good! This place is in China Town and very close to everything. I walked the the National mall in less than 15 minutes and the Capital One Arena in 5.
