We recommend this nice hotel
We enjoyed the stay in the hotel. The location is good. You can walk to the National Mall in 30 minutes. It was built in 2021, and the facilities are new and in good condition. I like the shower, it has a good water pressure. The parking is only available for valet parking, you can not drive to park by yourself.
