Residence Inn Washington, DC/ Downtown

It felt like home!

First off, the staff are absolutely wonderful - very welcoming, helpful, and accommodating! We loved the balcony off our room - it was small but nice to sit outside and "people watch". We got a suite with separate bedroom for our family of 4 (with older teens). We requested an extra stow-away bed and there was plenty of room even with that. Fitness center and breakfast were both good and clean. It's about a 3/4 mile walk to the Smithsonian museums and there's a parking deck across the street.

It was clean and fairly close to most of the places we wanted to see. Also, the staff at this property is excellent! Everyone was kind and accommodating. If I ever come back to DC I would stay here just because of this! It was also quiet and I could sleep thru the night without a lot of noise from outside and other guests.

After many days on the road, the washing machine & dryer that guests can use in the common area were useful. $3 per wash, $3 per dry, change coins at reception. Double glazed windows kept out the traffic noise. We were locked out of our unit due to a door latch issue. The hotel sent a technician who came quickly. The location is in a safe area, with clean streets. Location is great: can walk to most places (including White House), or take the metro. Nearest metro station is a short walk away. Great eateries are within walking distance. Just outside the hotel, there were more than 10 CCTVs - probably because it is walking distance to north entrance of the White House. Friendly staff (valet, check-in/ reception and breakfast).

Comfortable roomy clean breakfast was repetitive scrambled eggs & sausage 1 day was 2 types of sausage every day we stayed 5 nights
