The best hotel I've ever stayed in. The location was spot on - 1 block from the White House. The room was very presidential.

fantastic location, great people..
I arrived about 4 hours earlier than my check in as I was there for a large event in DC. I was able to check in early because the rooms were done, cleaned, and ready earlier than normal. The woman at the front desk smiled the whole time and said I could check in early so I didn't have to leave my bags in their locker room. We got in the room and it was a corner view... literally, three blocks from a bunch of decent night clubs, bars. One block from the metro. Awesome location, awesome price, awesome people.

weekend art museum splurge
Best location in DC. Great room, though a little warm. Supurb dessert at the bar - otherwise did not experience the restaurant. Quiet. Easy in. Easy out. I'll return soon, I hope.

Perfect New Year's Suite
I loved my stay at the Capitol Hilton. The staff was very nice & professional. The room was beautiful & very clean. The view looking out at the city night was lovely. The flat screen tv was also a plus. The mini bar was well stocked. Also the food at the Northgate Grill was excellent. A little pricey but worth every dime. The wait staff was so friendly & quite efficient. My check in & check out was so smooth and quick less than five minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to get such a nice room & good service at the very last minute on new year's eve. Price for room was very good.

new years eve getaway
My boyfriend and I booked a room at the Capital Hilton, primarily because it was a last minute trip and they were the cheapest in the location we wanted. However, I was very pleased with our experience. The hotel was clean and staff were very pleasant. Understanding it was last minute, we requested a room on the side of the building where you could view the fireworks. Although there were no rooms left on that wing, the front desk still tried to get us as close as possible to that area of the hotel. The next day we planned on spending a full day in DC. Since we took the metro in, the hotel allowed us to store our bags there until 9PM. The hotel also has a late check out (noon). The only negative I can think of is that there was a small fee to use the gym, which was next to the hotel.

Awsome stay
I love this hotel! Great location for anything you could want to do. The rooms are always clean. They have a smoking floor that smells like a non smoking floor for those of us who have that habit! The only thing that isn't fantastic is trying to get your car out of valet at check out time. If you check out a little earlier than the check out time though, it's not as bad.

Getaway with the Girls
Although it took three tries, we got the room we saw on the website which gave us plenty of room to spread out and relax. Room renovations were recently completed and they said they didn't have the computer updated quite yet. Wonderful service and every amenity we could ask for was provided. Even Lavazza Italian coffee for the coffee maker and it was the kind of coffeemaker that made one or two individual cups at a time. Even real cream! While it was a holiday weekend, we had a hard time finding a place for a light dinner close to the hotel. We did find a pizza shop but other than that it was nice restaurants and a couple chain coffee shops. The restaurant at the hotel was still under renovations at the time but they said they would be finished soon. There was valet parking at the hotel but it was expensive. The doorman did direct us to a garage close by and we paid $8 for two days so that was great although I understand that was because it was a weekend.

Pleasantly surprised
We found this place because of the price, and it was well worth the value. It's not a new place and you have to appreciate the 60+ year-old design of the place. The front desk people were very friendly and courteous, and the people manning the doors were great, because we needed a cab every time we left the building, but the other employees we encountered could have improved on their customer service.

In Hotel
Paying $42.00 to park your car there seemed excessive. We took the train from Philly and the commute was much more enjoyable.
