“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

I'm staying here on business three nights a week for a couple of months. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, and they offer nice amenities. The hot breakfast is good, the fitness center has just enough equipment to mix up a workout, and the shuttle is a very nice bonus as it takes me to and from work each day.

The hotel is within walking distance to King Street and the metro. There is a Whole Foods about a block away and plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

“Great location, nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

I stayed here with my boyfriend for a long weekend in DC and we booked the hotel through a cheap deals site.

Although my boyfriend has Marriott Rewards, due to the way we had booked the room, we couldn't credit any on our stay, but at the front desk, they gave us a free bag of chips from the mini mart.

The hotel is just down the road from King Street metro which runs direct into DC. It is also near to King Street shops and restaurants (we went to Hard Times Cafe on our first night which was incredible, but also an incredible amount of food!)

The room was a good size and was clean, and the bathroom was clean too. I like how the sink area is nice a large (for me to leave all my toiletries on!)

Breakfast was just ok, a large choice, but all the food is quite average tasting and it was quite busy and sometimes hard to find a seat for the 2 of us.

“"The Best of Show"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

This hotel is the very best. We have stayed there many times - in fact - it's the only place
we will stay when we travel to DC area. Metro is so convenient and the staff is remarkable!
The hotel is spotless clean and very comfortable. Each time we return , we are thrilled with the
quality of service. The location is perfect for visiting DC. We have stayed at other hotels in the area but the management & staff at this location are what makes this hotel a cut above all the rest!

“What more could you want?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

We have stayed here before, last time, for 5 nights. We visit family in the area. This hotell has a great location for Metro access. You can park here, although, last time we flew into Reagan, got on the Metro and walked over to the hotel. Very polite and accomodating staff, great rooms and breakfast. Work out room. Restaurants nearby. Trolley is a short walk. Alexandria is a wonderful city for a visit. Came in last night, the entire street was strung with lights, gets you in the mood for the holidays.

“Away from the action but well located”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

We stayed here for about 4 days in June. It is the usual Residence Inn in the rooms but a bit different in that it's one large multi-storied building. It is within easy walking distance to the Metro Station and there are several restaurants also close enough to walk to. It is definitely easier if you have a car, but not really required. Given the cost of parking in DC, it's much easier to leave the car and take the Metro if you do need to go in town.
