The location gives easy access to the National Mall and the popular sights in D.C. The neighborhood and the amenities were not what I expected. Our stay was for three nights. SWAT kept us from the space on the second night (Saturday) for over thirty minutes due to a situation unknown to us. The third night there was a situation at the gas station behind us that required it to be roped off with caution tape, police and ambulances. There was no access to local news due to there being no cable hook up nor a remote to the television that was provided.
