Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not recommended at all. Location was 10 minutes walk from The Wharf or National Mall, but the write up made it seem like they were right in the middle Of both. Had faulty door locks that would not allow us in our room. Apparently it happened on other rooms, and the repair people were working on other rooms. We had to wait hours to get into our room. They offered a free breakfast when they also knew we were checking and flying out too early to use it. Add that the limited bar menu was way overpriced - Hilton is off our list. The brand has slipped badly.

Digital key didn’t work for the room (worked for the elevator and amenities, though) despite restarting my phone many times. Otherwise, everything else was good in the room itself. Wish the pool hours were more extended.

Great location. Not what a $300/night.
Location is great. Room 11-152, the bathroom door needs repair or to be reinstalled. The room is also directly across the hall from housekeeping supplies, and the room door is not sealed, allowing light and very clear sound through. At 7:30am I was awoken by the housekeepers conversing to start their day.

The location was fine, but the room had an odd musty odor. As computers were down due to the global IT issue there was no ability to move rooms. The staff did their best but you could see they were stretched to their limits. The staff all seemed friendly but clueless in many cases.

This place was great. Everyone was so nice and it was conveniently located near the national mall and the spy museum right next door! Rooms were clean and we felt safe overall! They also have a spot with rentable scooters nearby so you can easily hop on and off to get around without a car! Also walkable to the Wharf area with beautiful shops!
