We stayed here as a family of four and enjoyed the property. It was walkable distance to the museums and also to the wharf. The room was spacious and we appreciated having the 2 king beds. The pool area was also very nice. The only negative was the room AC didn’t work well but the issue was resolved. It was the perfect size room and a great location for our stay.

We stayed here 4 nights total. One of which was unplanned. A big shout out to Audrey for helping us with a last minute reservation after our flight was unexpectedly cancelled. She was kind enough to upgrade us to a room with a great view of the Washington monument, and was able to get us late check out since our flight the next day was in the evening. Excellent customer service and much appreciated. As usual with Hilton, the room was clean and comfortable, with everything you need. They provided complimentary bottled water in the room, which was super welcome on such a hot day! Breakfast at the hotel was good and convenient, since we didn't find many restaurants offering breakfast close by.. There were tons of options to choose from, and both the buffet area and the dining room were spacious and clean. The location was great and within easy walking distance to several museums and the Mall. The wharf being so close by was also convenient with tons of very good dining options. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to DC.

This property was great in that in was within walking distance to many restaurants along the wharf, as well as a food court area and even a grill within the hotel. The housekeeping was wonderful. Our rooms were cleaned each day, as well as fresh towels supplied. The floors were laminate and were kept so clean! We actually didn't mind walking barefoot in our room! We highly recommend this location and friendly staff.

What I liked most about the property was the friendly staff and the location. The metro was available just below the hotel. Also, other dining options were available downstairs. Also, the boardwalk at the Wharf was just a short walk away with a number of restaurants for lunch/dinner. What I liked least about the property were the prices at the hotel restaurant/bar.

Everything, especially the staff were all terrific, friendly, respectful and served with such kindness. Room, grounds and property were good too. The only problem I saw was the right elevator taking us to floors 11-15. I witnessed 3 ppl get jammed hard by closing doors because the sensors failed to recognize a person going through them. It felt and was dangerous, though each person was gracious about it. But this needs fixed please. Thank you.
