Perfect location in easy walking distance to the White House, great restaurants, and two Metro stations - one with a direct line to Reagan International Airport. Although it is one of Washington's older hotels (it was originally the Statler Hotel and was finished during World War II), it has modern conveniences while retaining some of the interior architectural charm. We enjoyed our breakfast each morning in the North Gate Grill.

A special shout-out to Kamal, who greeted us outside the hotel when we got there and was incredibly helpful in getting us oriented, watching our car while we checked in and cleaned up to leave for our appointment, and helping us with the parking options and situation around the hotel.
