Great place to keep our bags while we went sightseeing. So helpful and nice. I realized I’d stayed at this hotel 12 years ago and liked it then. When we came back, front desk person got our bags, let us use the restroom, get some water and the doorman got us a taxi to the airport. Very easy

We left our backpack of food and drinks at the stashpoint due to being unable to take with us on the Capitol building tour. It was a couple blocks away, not a bad walk at all. There are benches across the street so we could sit and eat lunch there. Worked well for us.
