We loved having a real Starbucks in the hotel. The rooms are nice, and the location is excellent. The only problem is the pool needs to open earlier. It was 93 when we stayed there in mid-April, but the pool hadn’t opened yet.

We enjoyed how close to the National Mall it was. The Air & Space Museum just 2 blocks away! The breakfast buffet was delicious, full of different selections every morning. Room was cleaned daily. It was a little difficult getting 1 taxi for a party of 6, but the other Taxi cabs would try to accommodate us.
