Terrible front desk personnel attitude, very rude and dismissive. Parking not free as described on property amenities. Make sure to request your vehicle as early as possible the day of check out, it takes really long to get your vehicle. Parking personnel are very friendly and professional as well as breakfast personnel, food is good. Holiday Inn needs to hire better front desk staff or train them to do a better job

The hotel is very clean. Close to the most important attractions in Washington. There was only one disappointing detail: the breakfast. They do not have enough space for all guests and the breakfast space is very crowded. Most people see the line and go to eat elsewhere. The poor ones spend about 20 minutes in the line, the see all tables taken and some eat in the reception area, some go back to their room or even eat on the floor. Often food is not enough for everybody, guest either need to wait more or just take what left.

We really enjoyed the breakfast. It helped us get our day started. The dining staff were very helpful & friendly. The room was clean & room service made sure our trash are picked up. Walking distance to most area attraction, bus stop is a few steps away on both directions. Very accessible to other modes of transportation & app delivery services for food. Overall a good stay. We'll definitely consider coming back if we're ever in the DC area again.
