My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 8 nights, and it was a huge disappointment. The reviews sounded excellent, but perhaps my expectations were too high or unrealistic. We arrived at 7:30pm on July 5th and were not offered any social hour food, even though it closes at 7:30pm. Then, we find out it only is offered mon-thurs. I asked for a fifth floor room for quiet and peace during the reservation booking but, we were placed on the third floor. We were celebrating our anniversary and my birthday in the nation's Capitol, so you might think something would have been mentioned once we arrived. But, no, just keys to room 302.
We experienced excessive noise for four nights in a row. Kids screaming, chairs dragging, cabinets slamming, all of this at midnight. We called three times and nothing was done. We even asked to be moved and no response or resolution. We should give this hotel two stars, but the housekeeping staff was excellent,. Best part of the hotel, very friendly and accommodating.
The hotel is close to the metro orange line and freeway access, but not much else about this hotel that I would recommend. Get the highest floor room you can. Price was average. Breakfast was decent, but nothing spectacular.
Water pressure for the shower is extremely weak, especially after walking all day in the humidity of DC and wanting a hot pressure shower on your back.

Great place to stay when you visit Washington! The metro is very close.The hotel is one year old and is the best 3 star hotel I have ever stayed in. The rooms are big and the lobby and reception area are fantastic!
Used the BBQ twice and enjoyed the little pool in the 103 degree weather. The work out room is well equiped and it is a pet friendly hotel. Breakfast was good and the staff were quick at cleaning up and they were very nice.
Check in to check out was flawless.

We stayed here Memorial Day weekend and absolutely loved it! We had our two children with us and they slept on the pull out sofa which they found very comfortable. The room was big enough for the four of us to move around without bumping into one another and we found it to be very comfortable to relax in. The kitchen was just big enough for our quick visits to the room and a cup of coffee or two. There is a full fridge for left overs or groceries. We did not swim but the pool looked clean and refreshing... and not crowded at all. Our stay came with a delicious hot buffet that offered a very wide selection to meet all of our dietary needs. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. It is not very close to DC proper but it is only a short drive to a metro. We did not venture into the city on this particular trip as it was our 7th time visiting but have stayed outside of the city once prior and the metro is very convenient for family travel.

I'm a fan of Residence Inn Hotels and always trying to stay in them only. This one is the best hotel I have ever been especially in DC area. It's very clean, comfortable and looks new. Staff is great and professional. The bad is that the hotel is far from DC but it is not that far from Dulles airport and Tyson's Corner Shopping Center. You'll not regret of staying here.
