I guess it is to be expected that a suite hotel with a pull out sofa would attract groups with a lot of kids, but you would think the hotel would not put senior citizens on the same floor as a bunch of 10 to 12 year old cheerleaders. Never have I stayed in a hotel that allowed kids to bounce from room to room and have races up and down the halls. The parents had no respect either. I felt like I was the bad guy for complaining about the unruly children AND adults.
The breakfast was just barely ok, not what I'm used to at at Marriott hotel.
The bathroom had hair all over the floor, but other than that it seemed clean enough.
The location of the hotel is not good, but free parking makes up for the location.

Chose this hotel site unseen due to price. No disappointment here., the hotel was clean, new and stylish. Free parking was a plus. The rooms where modern and well appointed. Rooms were quiet even though the hotel is located very close to major highways. Close to the Metro stations, but not within walking distance. Nothing was within walking distance, so this is not a good choice if you don't have a vehicle.

We stayed here over Thanksgiving, 2012 for a little family trip to DC. It was a great hotel for our family. First of all the design of the hotel and the rooms is very contemporary and the rooms are of a very European design. We loved it. The set up of the rooms worked for our family of 2 adults and two teens. We had two queen beds and a pull out sofa, so each teen got there own bed. There was a lobby downstairs with lots of tables and families were down there at night playing board games and socializing. The continental breakfast was one of the best I've ever had. Eggs, meat, fruit, waffles...It is months later and my kids are still talking about this hotel. We all loved it and it was a great value. There was a Metro yard across the street from our room which was a bit noisy, so I probably would request a room on the other side of the hotel if that is something that might bother you. It didn't bother us.

We chose this suites hotel for our family of 5 (two adults, two teens, and a 9 year old) because it was a suite hotel within easy striking distance of DC's attractions. Hotel is two years young, and feels brand new. Big suite room with two queen beds, a sofa bed with an extended couch, a desk, microwave, fridge, and coffemaker, and best of all, two separate rooms for toilet and shower, each with a sink. The sofa bed isn't great, but okay for one teen. We put the 9 yr old on the floor on the cushions from the couch, gave another bed to the other teen, and the parents shared the other queen bed. It really was big enough for all of us to share! The queen beds were fine - felt brand new. Shower was good, with adequate water pressure. Never had to wait for an elevator. Nice workout room. Having read the warnings about the train noise, we chose the highway side. With the window shut there was virtually no outside noise, and I am a very light sleeper, so there really is not any noise problem on this side. The continental breakfast was adequate, nothing to rave about, but there were some healthier choices, like fresh fruit, skim milk and 2%, variety of cereals, oatmeal, also scrambled eggs, sausage, make your own waffles. It was about a fifteen minute drive to the National Mall. Roads are confusing - bring your smartphone or GPS. Another plus is that it is a short drive to lots of Alexandria restaurants, but it's not really walking distance to anything. I would definitely stay here again.
