“Comfortable Accommodation, Good Location, and Outstanding Staff”

This hotel is about a quarter mile away from a Metro stop that takes you everywhere you want to go, including both airports and all of the major sites in DC. I would recommend longer stay in DC. It took us three days (on Big Bus) to see the monuments and Arlington, and then about five days for museums, Capitol, and White House. Residence in DT is well equipped for longer stays. We had a full size refrigerator/freezer, cooktop, and microwave. They have coin operated laundry facilities on the premises. There are a variety of restaurants and services within a couple blocks. CVS is right next door and there's a Wawa across the street. Wawa is a kind of convenience store with a full grill for all kinds of fresh food that you order to go. There is a Chipotle on the next block and some other casual dining nearby. There is a free breakfast at the hotel, fully equipped. The hot food is scrambled eggs, waffles or pancakes, and then sausage or bacon. There's oatmeal, bread, bagels, and fruit. The staff on site are all incredibly hospitable and went our of their way to fulfill every request and every need. Even the breakfast crew was fully staffed and there were people practically waiting on our table, even though it is served buffet style. The laundry facilities are important for the length of stay you need to see Washington. The facilities are on the fifth and eighth floor, and coin operated. The front desk has rolls of quarters to use, and there is laundry soap to purchase on site. There are some glitches with the laundry, as there are only two washers and two driers on each of the fifth and eighth floors. Something is always out of order, so you never have four functioning washers and driers on premises. This can lead to problems, such as when there were a total of four washers and two driers functioning. The rooms were comfortable with adequate and relatively quiet cooling systems. The toilet/shower room was a little awkward as the door swings in, barely clearing the toilet. We had a queen bed/sofa bed room. There is a nice long desk and good outlets for plug-in and charging. The sofa bed is really bad to sleep on, one of those foldouts with a thin mattress and lots of hard spots that make it rough for anyone to sleep on. I asked for a topper and the staff immediately delivered a foam pad, which they insisted on installing themselves, making the bed in the process. The hospitality staff cleans and replenishes each room daily. Check-in and check-out were quick and efficient. Overall, this was a very good and cost-effective accommodation, though I would not rely on the sofa bed next time. I would compare prices with the Hilton Garden Inn down the street and right across from the Metro stop.

“Good breakfast”

We had a good stay. It was a convenient location, clean room, polite front desk staff. The best part was breakfast each morning! Elaine, the woman that works in the breakfast room, was so nice and helpful. Thank you for all your help Elaine!!!

We were made welcome at Residence inn. The hotel was full during our stay and I imagine this is because for Washington DC the rates are reasonable and the rooms are very spacious. The rooms have a well equipped kitchenette with a good size fridge. No kettle but the coffeemaker is well supplied with capsules. I know, I know, hotels in the USA don't usually have kettles in the room but we Brits do like to pour boiling water on our tea (bags). Our maid kept us well supplied with towels and our room was clean. Wifi faultless. Aircon effective but a bit noisy-you may wish to check that noise level before unpacking on arrival to your room. The location is good with a 10 minute stroll to the National Mall. Lots of restaurant choice on 14th St NW across St Thomas's Circle. An excellent if pricey Whole Foods supermarket less than ten minutes away. The breakfast is complimentary and is just OK. Food is plentiful but simple. Sadly bacon only available twice a week, cooked well and quality good, it seems to be regarded a special treat. There is good coffee. Garage parking is expensive but a search on a parking app on your cell phone will probably show a convenient better deal. In the garage in the building (14th St side) is an Enterprise car rental office where the staff are helpful and the rates were fair. We were very pleased with our hotel choice in Washington DC. If the management read this will they please arrange for the toner cartridge in the printer in the complimentary business centre to be replaced. (Third time of asking.....)
