Weekend getaway

My boyfriend and I decided to get away for a 3 day weekend and check out the sites in Washington. This hotel was less than a mile from everything we wanted to see. The staff was so friendly and helpful! The rooms were clean. The bed was a little uncomfortable. All in all we had a great time. Would definitely visit again.

Just right

This hotel has a wonderful location, within walking distance of everything. Spotless, comfortable room. I stayed in a queen room here recently, then in a king. The queen room is substantially larger but either one is comfortable. The staff is very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Great staff, pretty good location, great room

Crazy fast check in, which was awesome. The hotel is very easy to find, right off the interstate but is a bit futher than we would have liked from the types of bars my husband and I enjoy, but the metro system was just across the street and we rode that everywhere. Mark ( one of the bellmen)was great-very informative and helpful. We only stayed one night, and didn't visit any of the amenities so I couldn't rate those. There was a happy hour at the "bar" (I wouldn't call it a "bar", but they do). For those looking for a cool place with a sports bar feel, I would suggest heading to the Grand Hyatt a few blocks away. . Parking is valet parking and $35/night. While there are many parking decks around the hotel that are cheaper, they are not open on Sundays so we ended up paying $25 and having to trek 4 blocks with our luggage. Since we only had overnight bags, it wasn't too bad and we saved $10+ tips. Clean rooms, nicely decorated. Nothing grand, but perfect for a nice, clean place to lay your head for a night. Breakfast is $14.95 but there is free coffee in the morning.

Weekend Getaway

Satisfactory stay at the Hilton. The room was comfortable and relatively well appointed. The service left a bit to be desired though. I would stay here again just because of the location.

Good hotel in DC

Staff was very great, very pleasant to deal with; room was good although a little smaller than an identical one I stayed in dys earlier at an HGI in Baltimore; had a small problem with a phone in the room and the engineer was there promptly to try to resolve the issue; Location is good as it is across the street from a metro station offering easy access to all the museums and monuments in DC as well as to Reagan International Airport; restaurant is a little pricey but well worth it for a hidden gem -- will stay here again and recommend this hotel to others

Restaurant in the hotel is a hidden Gem -- no signs for it on the street so if you didn't know it was there you'd never even think to go there yet they have good food and good service

Great family vacation

My three girls and I had an enjoyable time visiting DC over the Thanksgiving break. The Hilton was very accommodating. The staff was friendly and helpful. We truly enjoy our meals at the Grist. We plan to return.
