"It was such a lovely boutique hotel right in the heart of Washington DC. Very easy to walk to a grocery store or walk to a good restaurant. Also not too far from the National Mall. The room was very comfortable and the service was lovely. We had a wonderful stay. The in-house restaurant, however, was a bit pricey. Otherwise - everything was good."
