1. the hotel was within walking distance to all the attractions in DC - national mall, smithsonian museums, white house (although it may be a little tiring)the rooms are big, with a kitchenette and vanity room so it was a pretty good deal for the price we paid (USD 80 per night for 2 double beds which can accommodate 4 people) the only letdown was that there was no free wifi though each room had a cable which you can connect to your laptop for free internet.
