The above link IS the one I perused. I guess I am confused by what this board is. I though someone had a spreadsheet or some other more better organized information than just simply going through, individually, all of the posts from the last couple of years. Yes, I am seriously considering the 2 star. All of these that I listed are under serious consideration, or I would not have requested more information about them. The star levels don't matter to me; those correspond only amenities, not cleanliness or suitability of the hotel for my purpose. I've stayed in clean, neat, great 2 star hotels, and horrible 4 star ones. Check the tripadvisor reviews for the Crown Plaza hotel for one example of a poor "high star" hotel. As I stated in my OP, my first criterion is closeness to Union Station and/or the MetroLine, since we are trying to get around for a couple of days sightseeing without a car. If you can't or won't help me guess, just let me know.
