Generally agree with this if location isn't taken into consideration...but given DC traffic/metro that's not entirely advisable. I'd usually advise people to stay where their business takes them - for example I wouldn't suggest that people with business at agencies/depts pick Crystal City (and certainly not Bethesda or Tysons) over this property.

Assuming you're coming for recurring work trips and thus can mix it up, do check out the West End Ritz if you have a chance and haven't stayed there.
I changed my ranking to move the Hilton National Mall to the #3 spot. My main considerations were quality of executive lounge and rooms.

The West End hotels (Georgetown, Ritz) are nice, but they're not especially metro accessible. Certainly better than the North Bethesda Marriott if you have to be in DC.
