This has the nicest building among the metro stations in DC! The archicture is so nice perfect some good pictures. :)
Some stores are still close though.
Only used the station for the Metro and the usual touristy moseying around. Really nice architecture and for the most part looks clean. The food court wasn’t fully opened partly because of the pandemic (May ‘21), but the ones that were open were busy. There’s also a few places to shop around, but again, most were closed. Stepping out the building to take a look around, I can’t help but notice the aggressive panhandlers which was kind of a bummer.
The main venue/entrance area is absolutly stunning, and I love Uniqlo, but bathrooms, food options, elevators and more are falling apart or insufficient. Apart from the main entrance, the rest of the building gives "dead mall" vibes.
I love this place as a train station, as a matter of fact, the architecture of this place is amazing. However, I do “not” like this place as the new bus terminal (which is in the parking garage). This station would look better if the parking garage was not here at all, and I liked it much better when the train station was the train station and when the bus station was a bus station (in its own separate building, prior to 2012). As I said, this place is great as a train station; has some great shops; and I never get bored of taking photos here. Restrooms are very bad, though...
I arrived at this station in the evening when it was dark, and I loved the way the high ceiling was illuminated with the limited lighting.
The view of the Capitol is also incredible.
Unfortunately, there were several tents outside the station used by homeless people. 😞
