the hotel was great. the room is big enough and it has sufficient place to open all of your luggages at a time (we brought 4 luggages). the bed is pretty comfortable.
location is great, it is walking distance (450m) to the ballston MU station of metro orange line. it takes only 20 minutes to get to downtown.
the neighborhood looks like a middle up area where lots of high class apartment/mansion and or office are located.
just one thing to be noted that washington is NOT 24 hours city where most of dept store will close soon especially on weekend.
