  • Room temperature couldn't be controlled, no view, hotel restaurant mediocre.

“Standard Hilton Garden Inn with all the amenities. The restaurant is average at best and the room temperature controls didn't work.”

  • The staff was outstanding. Very helpful.
  • I could easily hear noise in the hallway, and being a light sleeper had a difficult time with that, Turning on the fan didn't help-that was noisy.

“Great location, great staff. The only thing I wasn't expecting was the additional $28 to park in the hotel parking lot and the fairly expensive brunch. But the food was very good with lots of choices.”

  • It was very attractive and clean.
  • Parking the car cost extra money I was not aware of.

“I called the hotel before the trip to make sure I could park a rental car. They told me I could, but come to find out; it cost $30 a day to take care of the car. Wasn't happy about that.”

  • Restaurant and room service staff were pleasant and helpful.
  • Evening admissions and valet staff were not pleasant.

“I paid for a non-smoking room but was forced to take a smoking room because the hotel had "sold-out". Room was clean but smelled badly of smoke. Front desk staff was very brusque and not pleasant (I arrived late at 10:30pm). They gave me a hard time about putting the stay on my Hilton honors rewards account (why they should even care I don't know -- I guess it was too much work for them hitting that keyboard).valet parking is difficult, particularly because the area to pull up is almost non-existent, and no one was waiting out front to take my car or bags. And, I paid for one-night's valet service, but because I picked my car up at 6pm the next day - the valet attendant accosted me for $16 more in cash. Getting in and out of the hotel by car is difficult. It was not all bad. The room service, restaurant and morning admissions staff was polite, conversant and helpful. The differences between the day and night staff is incredible.”

  • Easy check in, very nice and helpful staff.
  • The pool was a little small.

“I went with my girlfriend and we had a very pleasant stay there. It's in a great location to see the classic sights of D.C. Certainly not in a "hip" part of town, but that's not why we were going to D.C. The staff was polite and helpful, and the room was very comfortable. My only complaint was the size of the pool. There were 3 kids swimming in it, and it was sort of full. However, overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel if you aren't look for anything extraordinary.”

  • Nothing.
  • Service.

“Had to wait an extra 20 minutes to check in - 1st room given was said to be non smoking - reeked of smoke and the window was open to get the smoke smell out. The hotel said that this was the only 2 bed room available. They could provide us with a king size bed with a roll away which was not acceptable. We asked to talk to the Hilton head office. Got an 800 number and called to complain. Put on hold for ~15 minutes before being able to talk to someone about the problem. Told they would call back in 10 minutes. After 15 minutes, we called back and were once again put on hold. We were put through to someone at the hotel who 'found' a non smoking 2 double bed room that we could have for the night. They told us that they would be right up with a new set of keys - took 10+ minutes to bring us the new keys - we had moved out into the hallway to get away from the smoke smell. We will not be staying at this hotel ever again.”

  • The location of this hotel in downtown Washington DC was excellent.

“The hotel was very nice and was well located in downtime Washington DC. It was right across the street from a subway station that made it very easy to travel around the city to see the many sights.”

  • The location to the Metro, National Mall, and other tourist attractions was exceptional.
  • The room was comfortable but not roomy.

“For our purposes (a short stay), it was more than adequate. It was conveniently located and the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Great location for sightseers!”

  • Location to the mall.
  • Must pay for parking $30.00 a night.

“The parking cost really through me for a loop. I did not expect to have to pay an additional $30.00 for parking when I stayed at the hotel. The pool is very small. However, it was within walking distance of all of the major tourist attractions.”

  • Great location.

“This hotel was very nice. It did not include any "free-bies". Parking was not included and was expensive. No free breakfast. Other than that the beds were comfortable. Rooms were a little small. Complementary business room was great. Excellent location.”

  • The location was good and the people were nice.
  • Our door key didn't work and they moved us and the second key didn't work either.

“Everything was fine except our room key didn't work and we waited while the repairman took the lock apart-we had dinner plans so he told us to go ahead-we got caught in a rain storm and came in soaking wet and they said they had moved us to another room - so we slopped up there soaking wet and that room key didn't work either - by this time we were really angry. Plus two of our packages were left in the old room and had not been taken to the new room. We did get them and I am sure it was an oversight but there was No compensation for all that trouble we went through.”

  • Location, friendly, helpful, felt safe.
  • The parking fee.

“It was more than I expected. The food was excellent. Being from New Orleans, I was afraid the seafood buffet would be no match. Your chef proved me wrong. The shrimp was great and so was the rib-eye. I would compare my room at the Hilton with the Ritz in New Orleans, only more comfortable. The entire staff was great.”

“The hotel was in a very good location to be able to walk to many of the attractions in Washington DC. The rooms are very comfortable and clean and I would probably stay there again.”

  • Friendly, courteous staff that was willing to help us around D.C. and be at assistance with all our needs and questions.
  • Parking facilities were not sufficient and had to find other means, which lead to higher expenses.

“Overall great experience. The staff was the best part. The room was very nice and comforting. Would definitely recommend to someone.”

  • Extremely comfortable rooms with great amenities.
  • The room had a overpowering, noxious smell.

“This is a great hotel in a great location. You can easily walk to the National Mall, dining, shopping, and the metro (which is directly across the street). I slept very well and the rooms are very quiet and clean. The majority of the front desk staff was somewhat unfriendly and unhelpful, but the rest of the staff was wonderful. Expect to pay thirty dollars a night for hotel parking; not too bad considering it is safe and parking in DC is expensive. It can take a while to have your car brought around, so call ahead approximately thirty minutes before departure.”

  • I have no complaints.

“Friendly people, clean hotel, centrally located. What else is there to say? Oh yeah, they have good cookies in the lobby but you have to get them before 9 pm.”
