Top Dickerson Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Bethesda Washington DC

Embassy Suites by Hilton Bethesda Washington DC

8/10 Good
"I generally give this hotel 5-stars and have stayed here several times. Helen in the dining room/bar and Natty at the front desk in particular are great brand “ambassadors”. This last visit I was traveling with my brother and his son…. and my extreme dissatisfaction (and disappointment) is directed only at management/ownership’s decision to close the pool to hotel guests for 9 hours during the day M-F (closed 7-11:00 AM and 2:00-7:00 PM)… apparently, during these 9 closed hours each day M-F the pool is used for private swimming lessons (leased to an outside operator). Regardless of the financial considerations (perceived as positive to the owners), I cannot fathom the hotel ownership/management’s decision to operate in this manner which removes a much publicized hotel amenity…AND makes absolutely no mention of this amenity, the pool, that I felt I paid for being unavailable to hotel guests during 9 prime hours of each day…(unless it’s buried in the small print somewhere, I couldn’t find it). I should have been notified, as it would have saved me time packing a swim suit and the trouble and expectation of arriving at the pool only to find such closure signage ( the jacuzzi/whirlpool was closed/out-of-order too). Again, all other aspects I give 5-stars!"

"Stayed here for 2 nights while visiting DC and attending a Commanders game. Hotel was clean and close to many stores and restaurants (within 10-15 mins). The Metro was a 2 min drive or 10 minute walk which was nice. The breakfast was your average hotel breakfast and was nice to have offered to us (eggs, sausage, potatoes, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, waffle maker)! There was a small gym that my husband used each morning and there was an indoor pool. We used the pool and enjoyed it, however, it’s not heated like we thought it would be. Otherwise it was a great stay- would stay again and would recommend."
