Everyone talks about how nice of a hotel this is due to metro being close by... but is it a good neighborhood? I am also considering the Hotel National (Starwood) and Intercontinental. But from what I'm able to ascertain the Hotel National is in the best locale and the Hilton seems very far away (albeit with a train I may have to use every day). What is the immediate area around the Hilton like? Does it have cool bars/restaurants/sights?
