GREAT location! It's .4 miles walking distance from the Mt. Vernon Square Metro Station (also the site of the Convention Center) and .7 miles running distance each way to the nearest L.A. Fitness. I had a technical difficulty figuring out how to operate the A/C, but got a very quick response with clear instructions to solve my problem. Room was supplied with a more than ample supply of bottled drinking water-- a nice touch. The bed linens were laundered after my third night-- another nice and unexpected touch. The room faces a busy street with the occasional siren; that was the only downside. Would definitely stay here again if in town.
