Quick Stay
Came in for a quick weekend trip. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful. Location was good, not far from sites. Walking distance from the train station and a short trip car ride from DCA. We had breakfast at the restaurant and food was pretty good. Doors at night are secured.

We had a great time. The front desk staff was kind and let out kids select room key cards, which they loved. The hotel was very clean, the lobby, elevators, our room too. I noticed housekeeping out different times of day. They did a great job of keeping everything clean. The doorman held the doors, everyone smiled and it was very welcoming.
