My family and I stayed there for two nights. Location is very good and convenient. The rooms feel stale and soft goods could be upgraded. The hotel looks as if they are skimping on dollars and I would wach this to see if it gets attention soon. There were times when the staff was very good and then times when the staff was just decent...very inconsistent.

Our family stayed here for a few nights in early September, which was a perfect time to visit: the museums were uncrowded because it was the first week of school for most schools (but not ours.) The hotel breakfast was excellent with lots of hot and cold options, and we also took advantage of the free snacks and drinks at the hotel's happy hour on a couple of the nights. The indoor pool was a must-have for the kids after a hot day of touring the sites. We found the suites to be nicely decorated and the kitchenette helpful the night we stayed in for pizza. We ate out for all other meals, as the suite isn't really equipped for staying in for proper meals. Fine with us though. Quite rooms, comfortable beds and bedding. Kid slept on the sofa bed in the living room and had no complaints. The were two tvs in the unit, so you don't have to watch whatever your kids are watching. We didn't have much time in the room though due to busy sight seeing. Friendly staff, good service all around.

Like other reviewers, we really liked the location attached to a modern mall directly above the subway. Very easy to get around and see the sights. No need for a car, but we did rent one for a day to visit nearby friends and visit Mount Vernon. The latter is the home of George Washington - a full day excursion to a large historic estate with a lovely setting on the banks of the Potomacs - complete with slave quarters and all - not to be missed! We also really liked the primate section of the zoo, where a glassed in section allowed us to chew bubble gum with a gorilla. She had her own gum and loved seeing people do tricks with theirs. Mount Vernon is paid admission, but the zoo and museums are all free of charge.

Pros: Clean, friendly and helpful staff, free breakfast, subway station in building, Cheescake factory and other shops and restauarants in building

Cons: had to wait a really long time for hotel elevator at times, breakast selection was limited, parking was vey expensive.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my boyfriend while sightseeing in DC. This was a very nice hotel - the room was spacious and clean, and the free breakfast was satisfactory. We took the subway within the building to downtown DC which was very convenient. it was also nice having a Cheescake Factory mere steps away. We stayed on the 7th floor and could hear traffic sounds from he street below but it did not keep us awake. The only negatives at this hotel were that therer is only one elevator so we had to wait around 5 minutes for it each morning, parking was expensive at about 24 bucks a day, and the breakfast selection was limited. The made to order omelets were excellent but the premade pancakes, potatoes, and scrambled eggs were cold and somewhat overcooked. Oh, and wireless internet is not free unless you are a Hilton preferred member. Oh well, we would still stay here again.

This hotel was a great stay for our family. The location was fantastic, parking convenient, shopping and attached restaurants an added bonus. The housekeeping was particularly good here. We hopped on the train at the attached station and got everywhere we needed to go with no problems whatsoever. We would definitely stay here again
