Breakfast was great! The staff were friendly and helpful. But we got locked out of the hotel twice due to an upgrade in the hotel's internet network, while feeling unsafe outside.
It was our first visit to Washington, DC, traveling from Florida. My family and I were disappointed about how dirty the city was. The fact that we had to use our room keys to go in and out of the property gave us a feeling of being unsafe. Parking was not only very limited and expensive but totally unsafe as each morning when we got out of the rooms cars parked outside had been broken into. Also, there were lots of people walking on the street using and dealing drugs without hiding it. There were people sleeping in tents in the middle of the city and lots of people asking for money to use drugs. There were also several very large signs posted downgrading the country's President (however we feel about politics, I think we should always be respectful to a country's Commander and Chief, especially in the nation's capital).
The hotel is walking distance from the U.S. capitol, the White House, the National Mall and many monuments; also, there are lots of eating options nearby, and the city is pedestrian and bikers' friendly. Although we had those outing options, we felt unsafe to go eat or walk, so we limited our stay to daytime hours during busy times.
