Washington Hotels

Rooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable. Very nice outdoor pool with plenty of lounge chairs, an outdoor bar and poolside table for eating. Parking at the hotel was perfect.

Bathroom was slightly small but very clean.

I liked the location, the staff was very friendly, and the complimentary water.

We had issues with our air conditioning which we told the staff about but nothing was fixed and our room was muggy and damp.

It's in a good location just north of the heart of Washington DC.

I was in town for 6 nights for a SHRM conference and this hotel was very disappointing. Why is it that more expensive hotels charge extra for wifi while it's free at lower-end hotels? An extra $15/day for wifi. Ridiculous! They were a little stingy with the towels--I only had 2 bath towels in my room. Most hotels provide 3 as standard. The bathroom was small and laid out oddly. The toilet was against the same wall as the bathroom door, facing the sink, and was very close, so getting up was a little awkward. The shower didn't have a door so a lot of water ended up on the floor. I reserved a king bed but the bed I got was no bigger than a queen. I had to ask to be moved to a room with a king bed. The staff was neither friendly nor accommodating. The published breakfast hours were up to 10:30 but when I tried to enter the restaurant a little after 10:00 am the staff said they were closed until lunch. The examples of their borderline-rudeness are too numerous to list, but very few on staff were friendly. Oddly enough the exception seemed to be the housekeeping staff.

This site says it has free parking which is not true it was ok but wouldn't stay there again breakfast is 16 dollars for cereal and muffins internet is also expensive

The decor was excellent. I recommend using the subway, it's a short walk away.

If it had a pool it would have been perfect, but otherwise it was fantastic. Service at the in-hotel restaurant was slow and food was a little overpriced compared to the excellent food you could get around town.

Great location

room was clean and luxuriouss

A/C was loud and room temperature was hard to control.

Staff was very helpful and free shuttle to King St Metro station was great!

I loved the room and the cleanliness...the comfort of the bed..overall great...

the fact that there was no tub mat in the bathroom. Tub very slippery. as a business traveler my flight was late and when I got to the hotel there was no restaurant or room service.. on my floor there were not even vending machines to purchase soft drinks..

the front desk staff was very helpful and courteous. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was wonderful.

The hotel was very central to points of interest (for me) ie historical sites, shopping, gay neighborhood. All within walking distance. Fantastically clean.

No negatives

Sufficient for a stay over night.

Location very close to both Union Station and Capitol Hill, nice furnished and spacious rooms, free wifi in lobby.

Breakfast not included.

The comfort of the room was fantastic, especially compared to the price we paid. The breakfast we had at the Art & Soul was tremendous... And the Concierge was very professional when we asked for information about sightseeing and dining in DC, unfortunately I don't remember his name! All in all a wonderful stay!

Nothing!

You can't beat the location of the Skyline. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The facilities are in need of a facelift.

Good location, nice rooms, in walking distance to the Capitol and the Metro (nearest stop: Navy Yard)

Internet was quite slow in my room (I believe I had room 728)

Staff, breakfast, pool

Forced to valet park at $99 for 2 nights. I don't like to valet park. I didm;t have an option. If I had known this ahead of time, I never would have booked.

Room was clean and pretty nice. Nice hotel bar and staff was friendly and helpful at the front desk. Would stay again for the price.

The bellhop shattered a bottle of vodka that was in my suitcase....said "I should have told them it was fragil" I don't think that gives them the right to just throw my stuff around as if there was nothing of worth in there....what if it was a bottle of cologne that broke - would I have had to tell them it was fragile for something as small as that. After all my stuff was covered in vodka, they let me use their laundry services and actually ended up replacing the bottle with something of similar value. It ended up being okay and I was thankful for the replacement.

Staff very friendly. Rooms were clean including the bathroom. The location is perfect if you want to walk around. We had an awesome experience.

The facilities, furniture, and furnishings are a bit older, but you get room to spread out in, the location is excellent, and the price is relatively inexpensive. It was great for a group visiting DC to explore all the wonderful sights to see.

We had absolutely no complaints!

Location & Staff

Run down A/C didn't work Parking was $40.00 + $7.50 (Tax)

Breakfast was great. Nya was kind and friendly

Stayed here for one night with a group of 8. Jeffrey was very accommodating, and I felt very valued as a platinum guest. It's located just outside the center of D.C., so you only have to deal with the D.C. traffic as needed. Would definitely stay here again.

To no one's surprise, this hotel is a prime location for anyone going to see shows at Echostage, so please be aware if you're planning to bring children or are looking for consistent peace and quiet. The staff do their part to make sure any disruptions are kept at a minimum, but for Friday and Saturday nights, you have to expect some rowdy characters roaming the halls.

Close proximty to city center, metro access through lobby.

Nothing

Everything was very good but the cost was high for a room. I could have been as comfortable at a less expensive hotel

Cost

Room was good for one person on a business trip.

I had problems with the parking. It was expensive for the bad service that was given to me. Also I was double charged for my room. I have booked many hotel rooms and that has never happened to me

It was a nice hotel, in a relatively good location. Not a far walk to the Smithsonians, White House, etc.

Parking is expensive and they tell you there's no charge for room service to be delivered, but there is.

Pleasant helpful staff, superlative room, great location, overall would visit again

Convenient location to my meeting. Staff is very courteous and helpful.

Be sure to ask for a quiet room. The traffic on Mass. Ave. side can be heard even on the higher floors.

Free Food

Too close to that damnable institution.Hated walking through GWU on every trip to the mall.Get rid of those those idiot kids hanging around.From what I saw an education looks far fetched for those imbecils,maybe its all about a good brain washing anyway.

Very clean room and cordial staff.

I liked room decor and setup. location wise, I was right where I needed to be. staff at check out were very nice. my car was towed, which should not have been, & since I was on the way out the valet guy went and got my car for me as I had no idea what to do, where to go and had such a small amount of time to get to my class.

staff at check in were extremely rude.

Area was good, nice neighborhood.

The bed was horribly uncomfortable. The lighting on the floors hallways were dark and dingy. The lighting in room was awful. No fridge or coffeemaker in the room.

Staff nice, comfort acceptable, room size acceptable, location great, price reasonable accept for parking upcharge

No amenities, parking was an upcharge - though convenient. dated facility, slow elevators

Easy access to the metro. Restaurants nearby. 23 bucks for overnight parking. Friendly, helpful staff.

NA

The proximity to downtown D.C. and the monuments was perfect! We loved that there were a few coffee shops and restaurants nearby, especially the Dubliner, an Irish restaurant and bar, that was situated right under the hotel itself. Staff was incredibly nice and the hotel was very clean - we plan to stay here whenever we come back to visit!

The only downfall is that walking around the area at night can be a little questionable, especially going to or coming from downtown D.C. It's eerily quiet.

My room was apparently newly remodeled, and was very modern, exceptionally clean, and very comfortable. The location - just two blocks from the parks surrounding the Capitol on the senate side, are hard to beat. It's a short block walk to Union Station if arriving via train or Metro. There is very little to the hotel other than the rooms - I didn't use the fitness center or the Dubliner restaurant next door, but if you are just looking for a convenient, impeccable room this is a great choice. I'll definitely return.

Via the phone and their web site, they required a 3-day minimum stay. Fortunately booking via Kayak let me book a single night, or I would have had to stay somewhere else.

The hotel is dated. The window air conditioner kept the room too cold and woke me up often

I liked the size of the rooms.

The elevators fit maybe 4 people. One of the two broke and we waiting for about 15 before we took the stairs from the 8th floor. We had a group of friends staying on the east end. Someone was throwing and party and you could hear them when we got off the elevatorl. It was unacceptable how loud there were. An hour later security came and did nothing. I was glad my room was on the other side of the hotel.

Very nice amenities and the shower was great!

I booked my stay two month prior for a King Bed for one night. When I got there, they said they were sold out of King Bed's and all they had were two doubles. Not the biggest deal, but what is the point of booking a King in advance if that is not what is available? Also, our room did have a musty smell to it when we first got it. After running the air for a bit, it went away.

Clean sheets, very comfortable bedding, clean showers and floors. Great location with respect to the national mall. Gym is great. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing.

Room was very nice and clean, very comfortable. Staff were very helpful. However, parking in the garage was VERY expensive- $43 for one night. I sucked it up and paid it. I prepaid for the room for Kayak, so it wasn't a big deal. I saw that they had put a $50 hold on my card as well. After I left, they charged my card the $43 for the parking and released the $50 hold, but one week later, I still have a $43 hold for the parking on my card. After contacting the hotel, leaving messages for billing, the garage, and all types of people, I finally got through to Hilton Guest assurance who contacted management for me. The management's response was that this was standard practice and to take it up with the credit card company. The credit card company cannot do anything with pending charges. I've never seen a hold last so long, especially after they have collected their money.

The cozy room.

That parking is expensive luckily I always get parking spot in the street.

I loved the staff - great restaurant suggestions and very knowledgeable about the area. Also off the street outdoor tables and happy hour were a nice touch.

The room we were in was a little warn, although it was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside!

The nicest staff. Great location. The rooms were charming and clean.

good space in the suite; complimentary shoeshine

no lotion in bathroom, and no newspapers delivered to room

Everything starting from staff, facility and location to restaurants as well as transportation.

Our room was clean.

Room extremely small. Limited closet and bathroom space.

We enjoy the location, shops near by, the sight around, people were very friendly, too much to do in such a short time.

Well, we tought the parking was included in our bill, but apparently it wasn't. It would be nice if you let us know beforehand.

Location

The staff (including management) did not respond adequately to their system being down during check in. Problems like that are expected but management did not issue an apology to all guests waiting in line for 30+ minutes and did not show the urgency to find an alternate way to check in all the guests affected by the hotel's system outage.

Valet parking was extremely slow and expensive

The hotel is located just steps from the Capitol and Library of Congress, and the Capitol South Metro stop. It was a great location, with a good selection of restaurants and cafes within a couple blocks. The hotel provides a great breakfast spread in a building adjacent to the main building, so be aware that you may have to walk a bit to get to breakfast in the morning if you are staying in the main building. Food included: oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, bread/bagels/muffins, fruit (apples/bananas), coffee, tea, and a selection of juices. While I never took part, the hotel also offers a wine hour from 5-6pm in the main building. They also provide free 24-hour tea/coffee/hot chocolate and a selection of sundries in the main building.

The bathroom in the Junior Suite was rather small and did not have a window that opened, so it did get a bit stuffy after a hot shower. The television generally worked, but some of the channels would go out every now and then. Wifi required you to log in multiple times a day, which was frustrating.

Friendly staff

Bathroom was a little small

The hotel was quiet, the room furnishings were fresh and attractive, and I found the decor pleasing generally. The room overlooked the courtyard, which was also quiet. A good location too--we were able to walk to many of our destinations right from the hotel. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I needed a cab one rainy morning, and asked at the front desk if they could call for one. Instead, the bellman grabbed his umbrella and went out to the street, down to the nearest busy corner, and whistled up one for me. Above and beyond!

Our room was small--would have been perfect for a single guest, but a little cramped for two. Just one bedside table, for example, with no room for a second. We would have liked a king bed, but one evidently wasn't available--again, perhaps a size issue. Last, half the wardrobe cabinet was taken up by a room safe and refrigerator pre-stocked with candy, soda, and alcohol, so there wasn't quite enough room for two people to hang our things. And yes, no iron or ironing board. We didn't try the meal facilities. We'd stay again--the pluses outweigh the minuses.

The staff was friendly, location was convenient, rooms were very comfortable and nicely furnished.

Everyone was incredibly friendly. The service was just out of this world.

Great hotel. Good position. Good staff. Perfect.
