National Museum of the Marine Corps Tours

This small, reasonably priced, well-located hotel is incredibly clean, the rooms are quiet (although the air conditioner does make sound when it goes on and off), the staff is very helpful and there is a great bar/restaurant attached. It's two blocks away from Union Station and besides its own restaurant, there are several others within a 10 minute walking radius. The downside for us is that there isn't a coffee maker in the room. There are two machines for everyone's use on the 2nd floor, but they happened to both be out of order when we were there. Still, we would definitely stay there again the next time we go to D.C.

The charm is wonderful, and I loved the room. Definitely had an old "DC" feel. I only gave it 3 stars because the amenities were lacking. My television frequently went in and out of connection, only two water bottles in the rooms (you had to ask the front desk and I felt lije it was an inconvenience each time I asked which was twice in 5 days) no vending machine to get cold drinks, limited signage to where anything is, my refrigerator didn't shut properly and a couple of things went bad the first night, the AC rattled the entire time, etc. Nothing major but it added up. It would be different if there were convenient stores or other needed essentials right next door, but I just felt like this was too expensive of a stay, 4th of July weekend or not, to not offer more convenience and creature comforts inside the hotel...especially considering the sweltering heat visitors to DC just endured. I did love the history of the building and the ambience but beyond that, I wouldn't stay again without more effort around the little things that you really expect at a place like this.

Easy clean, no frills, but clean sheets, clean towels, clean bathroom, clean and place to sleep… easy business Center, latte machine… close to the White House close to a lot of the agencies close to the memorials, America250 fair grounds… Tatte and another bakery is downstairs… it’s right next to the subway… love staying here.
