Good sized room (2 kings) and nice view of momument and capitol. Easy access to Metro and food court of L'enfant plaza. Also walkable to National Mall. Only complaint is that not much tv options for kids. Otherwise great hotel. Staff was polite and helpful. Hot breakfast downstairs in restaurant is a bit pricey ($30 per adult).
