Great location for the mall
Two king sized beds was great for our family. Location was great as well. We easily walked to the Wharf for food and the mall is less than a mile walk. Felt safe walking at night.
Coming from the airport on the metro was confusing because we didn’t understand the maze to get through to the hotel (left the station from the wrong direction), but pretty convenient after we figured it out.

Hotel was clean and appeared well taken care of. We were in easy walking distance of the National Mall and Smithsonian Museums. The area was clean and there were a fair amount of restaurants within walking distance, although we didn't check them out due to the rather cold temperatures. All in all, I would stay here again, I was also pleasantly surprised that the Valet was able to fit my truck in the parking garage, even though the hotel website said it was too tall.

Parking need to know
Be cautious of parking options. Garage is $45 a day and it charges you when you go in and every 6am after that. The garage also closes its doors at 10pm but the do have a number to call if you need back in after. When we called the number to get back in they literally told us to walk through the exit and walk around to hit the button that will open the entrance door- this was very crazy!
Hotel was nice and clean.

It was very good. A little sparse on the amenities. No shower caps, robe, slippers, vanity kit etc. if they were available then housekeeping never put in the room. Also never refilled our paper cups or glasses. We had to rinse the ones from the first day of our stay.

Good spot in DC for tourists
Well located hotel between National Mall and The Wharf, but you'll still need to do a lot of walking. Only issue with our stay was that it was in the 80s in November, so the hotel had hot air blowing - we got back to our room at the end of the day and it was 78 degrees. Since they had a WiFi outage at the same time, it took a few hours to fix.

Fantastic hotel in D.C.
Location is unbeatable. 8 min walk to National Mall, 3 minute walk to Metro, 10 minute walk to The Wharf, waterfront area with numerous restaurants.
Lorena, hotel receptionist, was supremely helpful and pleasant.

Great Location
Fabulous location! Room was clean and modern. Very walkable to Mall, wharf We never used the metro but it is very close. Staff was very friendly but not very knowledgeable and there is no concierge which is the main reason for 4 stars. Breakfast is soso and overpriced. There is an Starbucks in the lobby that to me was a better option. Also there is a balcony but door is sealed so it is not accessible. I would definitely stay here again!

Would have been nice for staff to be much more helpful in helping tourists understand Metro Rail.
Didn’t even know hotel connected to a station til I found myself after asking them specifically about it.

The valet was very helpful parking our car and loading our bags onto a trolley. He even spoke to the front desk about our room location. I am using a walker and a room closer to the elevators he got for us.
What was terrible was the person cleaning our room! We had to ask the front desk to get our room cleaned twice. One time we were out all day and came back at 4 pm to get ready for a 5 pm wedding. The lady knock at our door and said she couldn't come back in an hour to clean it after we left. After we asked for it to be cleaned the 3rd day, they had been in it took trash and made bed. They neglected to give us toilet paper or cups for coffee in the morning. This is not the service I expect for a Hilton Hotel.
