White House Locale

If you want to sleep close to the President, this is the place to be. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Restaurant is a bit pricey but good and convenient.

Amazing hotel

The staff was extremely courteous, quick delicious room service all hours of the day and night. Doors always opened for you with a friendly smile and greeting. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay with a great staff, extremely clean rooms and the best maid service I’ve ever seen at a hotel. Very impressed by everything here down to the smallest item. Would definitely stay again if we ever go to DC again.

Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks

Skip the taxis and get a Metro pass with a map the first day you’re there. Saves tons of time, money and frustration. There’s stops close to all the main attractions. The longest walk we had to take was to see all the outside memorials but that was worth it none the less.
