I stayed one night at the Residence Inn at Capitol Park in early September, 2008. This is a brand new property--only open a few months and looks and feels new in every way. Quite different from the usual suburban Residence Inn--15 stories with an adjacent parking garage. Compact rooms of higher quality construction. Excellent location at 15th & L, diagonally across from Capitol Park.
I had a one bedroom with a king bed in a separate room just large enough to walk around the bed on 3 sides. The sitting room, which had a sofa bed and one upholstered chair, also was smaller than in the usual Residence Inn, with a full kitchen in one corner. Small eating table for two in addition to a desk. Two TVs, both flat panel, larger one in sitting room. Good TV reception and fairly good channel selection. Only one thermostat (in bedroom) that didn't seem to influence room temperature much. Central air conditioning was powerful and slightly noisy. When it got too cold, I had to turn off the air. Only one wastebasket--perhaps an oversight by the maid. Good showerhead over tub with adequate hot water. My room was very quiet except for dumpster emptying at 5 am. Room lighting and counter space at bath sink were both adequate.
Parking cost $24 for valet (plus tips) or $17 for self-parking. To self-park you have to go way up, round and round, to reach the designated area.
Above average selection at complimentary breakfast except eggs and sausages were of low quality. Breakfast seating was adequate between 8:30 & 9 on Monday morning, but hotel probably was at low occupancy.
Four computers and two printers next to the breakfast room. Cold air comes down on your neck while using any of the computers. The computers are on a slow server.
All in all, my stay was satisfactory, but unexciting. Nicest aspect was that everything was new.
