The room was wonderful. The valet and breakfast service was not. Our valet took 40 minutes and that was only after we had to request our car in person. The breakfast staff rushed our check after only 10 min and we had to track down waiters for coffee refills

If you use a wheelchair, don't bother. The ADA room had a door that was much too heavy to open independently. I had to call the front desk to get in and out when I was alone. Key ADA Door Requirements for Hotels: Interior Doors (including guest rooms): Max 5 pounds of force to open. There is so little water pressure in the shower that the handheld showerhead is almost entirely nonfunctional. I had to request tolietries because the "complimentary" ones in the shower were out of reach. Even the walls in the bathroom above the sink were all chipped and scraped--extremely shabby. And for some mysterious reason, housekeeping kept putting the towels and water out of reach. Even the restaurant in the lobby is magnificently awful: sure, pay $16 plus for an autumn salad that was canned fried onions, sweet potato "flakes", and iceberg lettuce. What silliness! Avoid this hotel. PS A useless breakfast coupon is absolutely meaningless as a "I'm so sorry for the inconvenience." PPS My brother sent flowers to my room--they were "delivered" but they never ever arrived to my room. I wonder what happened to this bouquet? IRONY ALERT: NPR just published: 35 years after ADA, people with disabilities still find hotels unaccommodating.

Good place to be! If you do uber for all the trip or rent a car everything is just less than 10 min from this location. We love it. I travel with kids and was amazing. The personal in front desk was good but they need to be more enthusiastic and smile more but overall very nice and they make their job good. The one that make my check out was the best one he give us the best smile and we feel very good. Thanks I recommend this hotel 100%

Staff were nice, rooms were clean, restaurant food/service good albeit overpriced as most are. Only complaint is the location-while proximity to subway a definite plus, property is in a somewhat desolate/dated corporate area that is fairly shuttered after 6 aside from the Wharf (10-15 min walk). Reasonable property but not the best option if you want a more lively or vibrant neighbourhood feel.

I visited D.C for the first time 3 years ago and stayed at this hotel . I remember it being so nice and the service was great. However, when visiting again for my sister’s birthday weekend 3 years later it was truly distasteful and disgusting. The staff decided to upgrade our stay after acknowledging her birthday which was a pleasant surprise and greatly appreciated. The staff didn’t stop there, they went further to add in a complementary drink at the bar AND FREE complementary breakfast. We enjoy our night but unfortunately the next morning was far from enjoyable. We go downstairs for the free complimentary breakfast and even stopped at the front desk to ask where breakfast was being served. The breakfast staff watched us all throughout the kitchen until we were finished and once we started looking for seating ,two of the male staff said asked “did you get breakfast included in your stay”.Which was immediately off putting because why are you questioning us when you didn’t question the other guest. So the staff member then goes further to ask “what’s your room number”I let him know but again WHY when you didn’t question the other guests. The breakfast staff then went to print out our reservation I would assume and go question the front desk on whether that was factual . Donald at the front desk acknowledged we did and apologized .We didn’t eat after that of course . Clear racial discrimination. A Hilton hotel will never see my money again.
