The room smelled like wet dog, the rooms are old and carpets looked like the were old and dirty. Checkin took 30 minutes as there was only one person working and for some reason each person took 10 minutes to check in. Best thing about it was the location, close to the Smithsonian.

Good location but temper your expectations

Check-in was easy, lobby has decent space to hang out. The whole hotel feels like it’s a few degrees warmer than you’d expect, slightly uncomfortable. The room was worse, hard to keep it bearable despite the wall AC unit chugging away 24/7. The room is in need of a makeover; the carpet was beat, wallpaper was peeling in several places, only some of the power outlets worked and the satellite service on the TV was very poor even though the weather was clear. Service in the 21st Amendment restaurant was very slow and the “roasted” broccoli was very hard and crunchy. Having said all this, the location is great if you want to be around the National Mall and monuments, just be advised there are not a ton of restaurant options nearby. For DC, the price we paid was reasonable however. Just don’t expect to be wowed by this property.

My family and I enjoyed the location of the hotel. It was close to the subway transportation, while being walkable to the wharf, many restaurants, and a lot of the local museums. The room was comfortable and fine. We were a little upset to find out that breakfast was not included. The room was kept cleanly, but the TV had minimal channels and the sink faucet was difficult to completely turn off and had a link all over the sink area daily. There was not enough staff in the restaurant so service was slow. while the buffet was good, I felt it was overpriced and set up Ben in the $15 range instead of $25. Use of checkout and check-in was great and I would recommend this hotel as long as you know that breakfast is not included at this Holiday Inn
