Good Hotel Experience

This hotel was an oasis in a city that can drive you nuts! My husband and I drove to DC and managed to miss a turn and found the hotel almost 3 hours later. One way streets and no U turns was the problem - NOT the hotel. After an exhausting drive we were met by a very friendly and understanding staff who bent over backward to make us happy. The room was great. The only problem was that the hotel isn't really close to a good restaurant (walking distance). Luckily our daughter lives there and was able to pick us up and drive us around. Otherwise we would have had to contend with taking a taxi or the Metro (which, as non-big city people we wern't used to). All in all the stay was great. It was the drive there and back that left alot to be desired. I highly recommend this hotel to someone who likes taking taxi's and subways. (and if you drive they have an on-site parking garage that costs $17/day as opposed to other hotels in the area who charge $39/day).
Good value for the money

The Courtyard is a nice new hotel. Location is a bit awkward, there's not much within walking distance, but real close to a metro stop. Being out of towners, we thought it would be closer to sightseeing but we didn't look into the location that closely ahead of time. We had an hour long wait to get our room at 4:00 on the day of check-in. They upgraded us to a suite, but it was almost like it was more convenient for them since it was ready than it was an apology to us. Our kids had to sleep on a pull-out sofa, which was fine but wouldn't have suited other guests. Beds were super-comfortable. Pool and hot-tub was nice to have but a bit dirty. Breakfast buffet was just OK - they should do away with the long wait for the waffles and custom omelettes. Parking was reasonable. I would try to find a location closer next time but it was good in our last-minute pinch.
Highly recommended

The staff at this hotel were all so nice to us. The front desk staff especially with directions, suggestions, etc. They were so patient with us "tourists". We were very comfortable at the hotel and enjoyed our stay immensely. We would stay here again if in the area. It was a little further away from some of the sites but the metro location was so close that it made it convenient. We would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.

Good location, one block from the Metro, spent only $15 on the Metro the entire weekend! Nice rooms, comfortable bed, clean bathroom, nice shower head, faucet could take off paint with its pressure! LOL Flat screen TV was a definite plus. Front desk was very helpful. Very close to the Nationals Ballpark. An ideal location if you are coming to see the Nationals play your favorite ball team. Within in minutes, via Metro, to the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the Smithsodian sites, the Verizon Center, Chinatown (plenty of restaurants/bars). There was a CVS one block from hotel, as well as a Starbuck's Coffee shop.
Nice place to stay for Value

Hotel was a good find for the price, espeically for a family vacation with small kids. The hotel front desk was very attentive and helpful. All staff was very friendly. Service in hotel was good. Nice size rooms. The dining in hotel is out in open, but food was acceptable. Prices were found to be comparable to other eating establishments outside of fast food restaurants. If you don't mind going out of the area for meals, which one can easily do with the excellect Metro system, it's a good location. Obviously, this area of town is on the rise with the new stadium being belt nearby. The housekeeping could have been a little better about picking up the garbage and vacuuming/sweeping floors. The kids really enjoyed the pool which wasn't too deep for them (3.5 ft max).
