There are a number of restaurants I've been to on 14 between N and U Street. Barcelona is one of my favorite places in DC. Ive eaten at 10 or so restaurants along the strip. And I'm someone that is very familiar with this area prior to its revitalization.

This property is a good base to get to Dupont, G-Town, U Street, or the Mall.

Darcy is probably the best-located Hilton property in D.C. and that's not actually subjective - take a look at the map, it's literally on the central axis of the design layout, and equidistant from the hottest neighborhoods.

Just to be clear though - I'm definitely not forgiving them for their poor breakfast. But as someone who has lived in D.C. for close to 10 years, for $125/night, take it!
Meh - for some one who's walked those neighborhoods in what goes for crummy weather in DC, the hotel's not close to any Metro stop nor is it near the primary tourist places - unless you like walking blocks and blocks.
