Great location, issue addressed was slow

Overall this was a great location. Unfortunately we had a lot of issues involving the bathroom sink and it was not addressed until the third time we brought it to the front desk. A wonderful housekeeper saw what was going on and addressed it right away and offered us the room next door. It was unfortunate we had to bring this to the attention to the front desk three times.

I wouldn’t stay here again. It was pretty pricey, and the refrigerator didn’t work. I am diabetic and have medication that needs to refrigerated. When I tried to call the desk about this issue, the phone didn’t work either! Everyone was very nice, but it took three days (and speaking to the manager) for it to be fixed. So every time I had to take medication, I had to go down to the desk to request they pull it from their mini-fridge, take the medication, then give it back to the desk to return to their refrigerator. Again, everyone was very nice, but this was hugely inconvenient. Breakfast was very good. A lot of options each day, and the staff was again very friendly. The automatic doors were broken a few of the days, and my daughter asked me, “Mom, is EVERYTHING broken in this hotel?!” There were a couple days that our room didn’t get cleaned, and then a couple days when they did clean, they didn’t restock towels, etc. Location is very convenient to the metro, and food/grocery is nearby, but we were stopped by panhandlers every single time we left the hotel. Also, our room was close to the elevator, which was very noisy all the time. It wasn’t a “terrible” stay, but it wasn’t great either.

From the moment we arrived in our room, we were disappointed with the hotel. The room has a visible layer of dust on the furniture and fresh stains on the carpet. We weren’t even sure if the sheets had been changed from the last guest, as there were hairs in the bed. It was gross. For a Hilton property, we were very astonished. We had to keep called the front desk daily because housekeeping would not refill or change basic things (towels, etc) and the ice bucket never once got a new bag (we were there for six days). When we talked to the front desk about the cleaning issues in the room, the staff just said, “Yah, that sounds right.” The hotel isn’t shocked by the negative responses from their guests, but they aren’t fixing things that are off-brand. It’s too bad, because the location is great, but the hotel stay left much to be desired.
