The room was comfortable and sufficient with a kitchen, microwave, and a stove to make your own tea. Best of all was the "location, location, location." It is walkable for our tour of the GW University Campus. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Though the buildings are split into north and south towers that was not an issue at all."
