I think they have some database issues to iron out, too. Here are the addresses for several notable DC landmarks:

U.S. Capitol
Wilhelmstraße 67a
(East end of Mall)
Washington, DC 10117

Library of Congress
Am Zwirngraben 13/14
Berlin, DC 10178

Washington National Cathedral
Kleine Gartmanplantsoen 15-19
Amsterdam, DC 1017 RP

In cases where the street address, city and ZIP are actually correct--10117 and 10178 are both in Manhattan--they've often omitted directional indicators (i.e., NW, NE, SE, SW) that are pretty important to getting around in DC.

The Los Angeles locations are likewise off.  In real life, the Westin
Bonaventure is pretty much 1 block west and five blocks south of the
Disney Concert Hall except on the Schmap!
