"We have stayed in the DC area many times, and this is the best place we’ve ever stayed. It’s a 15 minute walk to the nearest metro stop, but they run a shuttle service to Reagan airport every hour on the hour, so we used that for the convenience of catching the metro there. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast! This would be an excellent option for those with kids. I highly recommend!"
