We found a weekend rate at this hotel, and what a find! We got it on Hilton.com for $89 per night, and for that price, in all honesty, we weren't expecting much.
Were we ever surprised! I had contacted the hotel on Thursday, to request an early check in following a 13 hour flight from Honolulu. Not only did they return my call, and oblige my request, but the room was ready and they were expecting me at 8:15 Friday morning.
I was able to enjoy a nice breakfast before falling asleep for a few hours.
The room was clean, sufficiently large, and very quiet. The housekeepers were certainly willing to honor our requests for additional towels.
Probably the best part of this hotel is the location. DIRECTLY across the street from the McPherson Square Metro station (which is easily accessed from Dulles via the Washington Flyer bus to the West Falls Church Metro ... then the Orange line right to McPherson Square). This puts it just a few blocks from the White House, and not much farther to the other DC area sights (i.e. the mall, Washington Monument etc.)
We found the staff friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast buffet more than adequate.
They have a washer and dryer on the premesis, but we were somewhat put off by the hours (the laundry room closes at 11:00 PM, which is inconvenient if one is dining until 10, and wishes to return and do laundry - so as not to miss out on the main part of the day). All-in-all not a big deal.
The bed was clean, comfortable and soft. The TV had ample channels, and the internet access was speedy enough.
We would certainly return.
