It was a wonderful surprise that it was nicer than the pictures showed it to be. A wonderful relaxing place to stop for a breath. The metro is indeed very close, a block away. A close walk is a street with so many different restaraunts it is hard to choose. You honestly feel like you are coming home at the end of the day. When you first walk in there are a few snacks awaiting you. There is a book full of things to do, and if you have a question Crystal will always answer it. I look forward to planning another visit, and will stay here every time.
