Very convenient location
The hotel had everything we needed, but the location was the best feature. It was close to the metro, and close to the sites people go to see in DC.

Money-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Save money by taking the Metro -- DCs subway system -- from the airport. It really is easy. Follow the signs to the Metro at the airport. Get a ticket for the Blue line (they each have a color) and get off at L'Enfant (I think that is how you spell it). From there, the hotel is only one block. While you are on the Metro, check out the map of where it goes. You can go almost anywhere (not Georgetown, unfortunately), and it is cheap. Be Brave!!

Great location for sightseeing!
The location was great....we were within 1 block of the National Mall and we walked to most of the Smithsonian Museums, the Capitol, National Monuments. The only drawback was that the room we had was at the back of the hotel and the train tracks (yes, multiple tracks!) were right outside our window. That 5:00 a.m. freight train was our wake-up call if not the 3:30 a.m. train! The tour desk in the hotel was very helpful in booking tours to Gettysburg, Mount Vernon, etc. For the price these tours were excellent. Also, they assisted us in choosing an excellent restaurant in Georgetown. Even though we had to deal with the early morning trains (I suppose we could have ask for a different room), I would definitely consider staying at the Holiday Inn-Capitol again. The location is unbeatable!

Short walk from hotel
If visiting the Smithsonian Museums, get there early! Don't wait until noon or later, they tend to be really crowded later in the day. Also, try the hop-on, hop-off trolley, it was a great way to see a lot and eliminate some of the walking.

Great trip
Service was great. I broke the coffee pot pitcher and it broke into a million pieces on the floor. Within minutes after I called housekeeping, they were there with a vaccum and new pitcher. He even went back and got me a wine opener when he heard me say I could'nt drink the bottle of wine that I had bought earlier. I had also left some articles of clothing the the drawer and I called when I arrived home and they sent to right back to me fed ex. Great experience, I would visit them again.

Very family friendly.
The Holiday Inn was perfectly located for our stay in Washington,D.C. We took the subway from the airport (National) and did not need to rent a car since the Mall, Museums, and monuments that we wanted to visit were within easy walks of the motel. Our room was clean and comfortable with a view of the courtyard. We arrived very early (got to the hotel by about 10am) and were able to check right in (that was nice!!). I would definately recommend this hotel to other visiting families.

Great location
The Holiday Inn Washington-Capitol was in a great location. Only a few blocks from some of the Smithsonians. The hotel has a restaurant, which is nice for breakfast and dinner. The rooms were clean and neat. They have an information desk and a friendly and helpful employee that will explain different tours and restaurants in the area.
