This is a fantastic location from which to tour all the main sights of Washington DC!! My wife, 2 granddaughters, and I arrived by train at Union Station and we easily walked with carry-on bags to the location. We were then only about 2.5 blocks from the US Supreme Court, US Capitol, and Senate office Buildings. It would be an easy walk to the Smithsonian, National Archives, Library of Congress, and much more. We were there during the worst heat wave in memory, so walked less than expected, but at any other time it would not have been necessary to have a car or use much other public transit. There are great restaurants nearby, and plenty of shopping within 0.5 to 1 mile. The accommodations are great!! Very clean and comfortable throughout. I was concerned that traffic noise could be a problem, but the place was quiet at all hours. This is a great place to stay for a couple or family. I would not hesitate to stay here again!!
