My stay at Capital Hill Suites went well. The location is great: across from one of the Library of Congress buildings; a short walk to the Capital and Supreme Court. The Metro is less than a block away. There's a good selection of local restaurants and bars nearby. The lobby is small but comfortable with a couple of couches, one computer ($0.25 per minute for internet) and free copies of the Washington Post and USA Today. The employees were nice and helpful. My room was large, but not really a suite. It had a queen-sized bed, a couch, a large writing table with WiFi ($10/day), large refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. The bathroom was small but clean and included shampoo tubes and conditioner. The room rate includes a big continental breakfast (several juices, coffee, tea, milk, cereal, yogurt, apples, bagels, English muffins, assorted sweet rolls, and boiled eggs) that was constantly replenished. Note: A friend came down from New England on the spur of the moment. AAA Telephone rate was quoted at $150. She didn't book and showed up mid-afternoon, hoping to to better. After some in-person negotiating she got a room on Monday night for $99 but was told the rate would go up to $250 for Tuesday.
