Nice clean room. Very sparse decor. Dinner was good. Breakfast opened too late. Recommend Einstein Bagels down the block.

Washington Plaza Hotel
A great place to stay in downtown DC, easy to find and they have their own underground parking. This is an older property, but it’s in great shape. You can tell they keep on top of maintenance items and don’t let things get scruffy looking. I’ll book here again the next time I need to stay overnight ...
