At this location the quality (cleanliness, food, service) of the hotel has gone down hill since our last visit, which was May of 2010. The Hotel needs better handicap access in and outside of the hotel and the hotel needs new vans.

This hotel stay felt like "home away from home"...the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Great hot breakfast (more choices than ever!)...loved the bacon and eggs and french toast. Manager's special (lite dinner Monday-Thursday) and free "happy hour" from 6:00-7:30 were a wonderful surprise...I only had to buy one meal while visiting D.C. Free shuttle to Van Dorn Metro from 6:00am to 10:00pm. I stored my luggage there on last day, took metro to DC, returned to metro stop and they brought my luggage to me! so that I could catch the train back home. (Amtrak just one stop away by metro). What can I say...I would return in a heartbeat! Thank you Hawthorne Suites for making my stay such a pleasant one. Kudos to the drivers of shuttle, the young woman who bar tended, the front staff, esp. Rashid (sp?), and to housekeeping!
