For what it was.. we got what we expected. A place to stay on 4th of July after watching fireworks. After the display at the monument concluded the streets erupted with their own barrage of illegal fireworks. Breakfast was well attended and overwhelmed the entire lobby with patrons. A line that extended 50+ people was the norm for the better part of breakfast time. The staff did a pretty good job trying to maintain the levels of food consumption. Just too many people all at once. Really couldn’t enjoy it.. to be expected I guess. We’d likely spend a few more bucks next time for a different experience not in Holiday Inn.

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

It was decent for what it cost

The pluses: the room was clean, and the free breakfast on weekdays was appreciated. Location was convenient for what I needed, though the China town area was seedier than I recalled. The minuses: we had one front desk reception person who was very friendly, and she was helpful. Others came off as disinterested, aloof, or rude.

Location was great and near all major landmarks we were interested in visiting. Dining options were also great and extremely tasty. Downfall: the parking staff. You have no option but valet, and perhaps they need retraining since two of the individuals we dealt with were not the most friendly. Also, the check-in desk was a one-man show, and the wait times were long. It was faster to walk to a nearby convenience store and get essentials snacks than wait to be charged at the front desk.

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.
