The property itself was quite nice and clean, close to the highway but the area does not offer much. It is 7 minute ride to nearest metro rail and it seems to always take an hour by car to get to the Capitol's attractions. There is a lot of traffic on the highways. Unfortunately using the public transit was not an option for us.
Except for Red Lobster and fast food chains there were no restaurants. The hotel itself has a decent restaurant offering Indian and Afghan fare.
