Had a conference here and it was a really convenient area. The bottom floor of the plaza has a food court, and hotel access to the Hilton is right above. It even has a barber shop, a few clothing stores, and snack shops, so if you're traveling through, it's an easy place to pick up a few things and a bite to eat. Wear comfortable shoes, there's a lot of walking if you're not used to getting around by foot. The walkability in DC is great compared to where I'm from, so comfortable shoes are a must. Taxis are nearby during the day, and it's so easy to use Uber or Lyft to get around central areas of DC.
