Mixed service
Cordelia on reception was exceptional and breakfast ladies and cleaners very helpful. Room phone not working and one side table leg broken, but maintenance team quick to resolve issues. Some reception staff not very helpful
Only one elevator working, 2 out of order. TV system is through satellite and is not working when it’s raining, wrong choice of system for hotel

It was not your typical Hilton. More of an upgraded Holiday Inn. It was clean, but dated. Very limited dining. But the employees were VERY accommodating. They bent over backwards to try to make you welcome.
We’ve now stayed with this hotel twice to visit DC. We enjoy it’s quiet location, while still being close to the subway and lots of dining options. Staff is always welcoming and helpful, and the rooms are clean. Definitely recommended for families. Us parents also like that in the evenings there is a bar downstairs, so that we can have a drink while the kids settle into bed.
Why don’t the curtains close? The blind only did not block out the sun and I was up at 6:30 am!! Horrible!
Also the ceiling vent in the bathroom had a layer of dust and dirt on it- that’s what guests are breathing in!
This hotel is in the fabulous Bethesda neighborhood, next to parking garage and near Bethesda metro - red line. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Easy trip into DC. They charge for breakfast but there are many places in to eat in the neighborhood. Also close to a Trader Joe's. Hotel also has a very nice gym. Have stayed here before to visit DC. Extremely clean, comfortable and convenient.
