I stayed here both during renovations and after renovations....what a difference a number of months make...
Stayed here each time for 2 nights, and I couldn't of been more impressed...
The view from the top of the hotel in the Revolviing Restuarant is awesome, you make a 360 degree tour in about 10 minutes...the staff at the restuarant is great, the hotel staff was very prompt, even though they were having computer issues they still kept a smile on their face...
Had a room that faced the Pentagon and Washington Monument...
Make sure to ask for your Breakfast coupons if your a Hilton Diamond Member, I had to both times, because if not, it is a hefty charge for breakfast, I just wanted a banana and bowl of cereal and without coupons it would of been $12.95...they also have a Starbucks coffee in the lobby area as well..
The shuttle is great, there are two different ones..one goes to/from airport & one goes to/from Crystal City Mall (where Metro is located)..very efficient, you can also walk it if you want, about a 10 minute walk, but very safe and nice when you want some exercise...
Would stay there again...
Room Tip: Pay the little extra for a room with a view of Downtown DC....

Thank you for the review. I am so glad you noticed the great difference the renovation is making. The finished suites & rooms are getting so many great comments. I
I agree, there is no better view of Washington DC then the one offered at the Skydome. It actually takes about 43 minutes to rotate around the room one time, but it seemed like 10 minutes for you because time flies when you are having fun! While it is not a panoramic view like you find the the Skydome, the views offered from our view rooms are really nice. I am so glad you got to experience this.
There are definitely some benefits to being a HHonor member. Depending on your tier you do have the option to have a breakfast as your amenity. It is a nice savings. The shuttle comes in handy this time of year as the 10 minute walk is not so nice, being it is in the 30's outside. However, for those brave enough to endure the cold, the walk is a quick one to the Metro. The shuttle runs on a set schedule to both the Metro and Reagan Airport.
Thank you again for the review and I do hope you return soon. As always, I invite anyone to contact me anytime. I have been hearing from a lot of people that read my responses and it is always welcome & appreciated.
Happy travels -
