Awaken the Dawn was what I needed for my month stay in DC. It was simple, affordable, and made for an easy commute because the Potomac Ave. Metro station is just down the street. A nearby Harris Teeter also made it very easy to stock up on groceries or stop in on the way home to pick up a dinner for the evening. I spent most of my waking hours outside, but it was always nice to come back and see all the other guests. My one criticism was that the WiFi was very unreliable, probably because there are so many people trying to connect at once. I was unable to get much work done unless I left and found another place to connect to the internet.
