I spent 4 nights here over the New Year's Eve holiday. The staff here are the best - from reception, housekeeping, at the restaurant and bar, and the bellhops. I can't say enough good about all of them, and how welcome they made me feel. The building itself is beautiful and historic. Rooms are comfortable and well done. The location is absolutely perfect. Metro stop is just across the street, as is the National Portrait Gallery. The National Mall is only a 10 minute walk away. The hotel has a nightly happy hour in the lobby, which is awesome, and a great way to meet other guests. I ate at the restaurant, Dirty Habit, for both breakfast and dinner and highly recommend it for both. If you get dinner, don't pass up the homemade corn bread muffins - best I have ever had!
