My teen and I stayed at 2500 Penn for 4-nights and found it to be a comfortable place in a great location. The apartment has had a facelift and showed some wear but everything worked just fine. The best parts were that it was close to DCA, had quiet rooms and an excellent front desk staff who were always willing to help out. I loved that we could walk to the Mall or Georgetown easily, but also had options for the metro and bus close by. Food options were also plentiful from Trader Joe's across the street to Western Market (food court popular with GWU students - and check out the Captain Cookie open until midnight!) with menu options for everyone in your family. The famous Martin's Tavern in Georgetown is also a short walk away. I found 2500 Penn to be a good value and I would stay here again.
