This Hampton hotel in the middle of downtown DC was a wonderful choice for my wife and me to stay two nights. The location is perfect for so many reasons. Whether exploring the sites or finding restaurants and shopping, this is the place. The hotel itself is really nice. The staff is friendly and helpful. (As far as parking, I recommend you bite the bullet and pay $50/day for the valet. It worked well for us.) The breakfast was typical hotel breakfast. Good enough to save a few bucks and tide you over till lunch. The only reason I am rating it a four is for two reasons. First, one elevator of the two was out for both our nights stay. This wouldn't be a huge issue if they weren't so necessary. They are necessary because there is a lot of foot traffic and the layout of the floors requires you to use them. Second, the AC was wonky. We went at the end of summer and it was relatively hot, so AC was vital. Well, we woke up both nights sweating because the temp in our room was near 80 degrees. We told the staff and they mentioned something about the AC being motion activated?!? Who knows, but it wasn't convenient having to get up at 2 AM sweating to turn it back on. All things considered, it was a good stay and we will definitely be back.
