We did not try the restaurant so cannot comment.Very easy to get to the Metro with a safeway supermarket next to it, although no coffee pot, I just went to the restauarant which is open from 6 am for a take out coffee, no problems.Felt safe walking to the fish and crab wharf whichis 5 minutes away a comes alive at night with fresh shrimp and crab.we spent the day over in Virginia at a massive mall.Another tip is a visit to the National Zoo, free to get in, $22 a day to park which is very good as you have not spent to get in, see the Pandas is a must.The rooms were very clean fresh towels and sheets daily....MoreTripAdvisor.com8/30/2012 It is however clean and the people are friendly....MoreTripAdvisor.com8/16/2012 It is an older hotel, but if you are looking for a clean room, comfortable beds, ice cold air, close to the National mall and the Metro than this is the hotel for you....MoreTripAdvisor.com8/15/2012 The House keeping staff on some rooms, didn't bother to clean them daily.7....MoreTripAdvisor.com7/30/2012
