The place is easily accessible from the Union Station with the free Street Car system. From the Union Station, you can walk to all the attractions of Washington such as White house, National capital, Memorials, etc. At night the place may be a bit "unsafe" but during summer it only get dark at 8:50pm. No problem for us. Room is clean with air-conditioner and all the things as provided by a hotel such as towel, shampoo, etc. Even coffee and tea.
Strongly recommended to travellers needing a place to stay for the night only with whole day sight seeing like us.
