"The staff at this very clean, very safe Motel are excellent. They are happy to help you and are full of great information. The whole facility is super clean. Breakfast is basic; cereals, fruit, juice, milk, and bagels. The Metro train is a nice 10 minute walk through a very safe, upscale neighborhood. We felt safe even later at night. There were no shady characters. The Capitol Mall is 25 minutes my the Metro train.
There are several nice restuarants right around the corner. Ask at the desk. Also Ballston is one stop away on your return from DC. It is full of great places to eat near the Metro Station. They also have a nice Tarrget. We loved our stay"
