Property is 40 minute walk to mall...( washington monument etc )
Walmart is 3 minute walk but be prepared to wait in line a minimum of 25 minutes. Also be aware this Wal mart is frequented by locals in an urban environment. This is the reason for armed police offer and security officer at door. We witnessed some ones having their children shop lifting right in front of us.
We felt safe our entire visit walking to and from many adventures. If you come to DC via Amtrak. Walk through the parking garage to H NW Street ( not Massachusetts Ave) and property is a 5 minute walk. Also at Union Station there are several stores and restaurants including a Walgreens.
Seriously this property is in an amazing location. We would stay here again!
