Excellent hotel. Staff were friendly and professional. The attached restaurant was very good as well. Wife and I both enjoyed. Room was well appointed, felt new and I really liked the laminate floor. Hotel carpet never feels clean so this was a nice touch. Great location, close to everything in DC. Not the cheapest but well worth the price. Valet serves too notch as well and early bag check is no problem if you arrive early.

We splurged on our usual hotel budget and we're so glad we did. The hotel was lovely and the staff was wonderful...but most importantly, the ability to walk (quickly) to and from Union Station and to other points of interest (allowing us to have a car-free weekend) was our deciding factor. We weren't disappointed and would stay here again.
