the location proved convenient. it was a short walk to the national mall. parking was available on site and it was valid until 5 pm on the day of checkout. i ate dinner at the hotel restaurant, and the food was quite good.
the air conditioning unit made a lot of noise. it rattled throughout the entire stay. this resulted in broken sleep for me. the shower door seal was damaged, causing water to pool on the floor.
