Staff were super friendly, especially Walter in the lounge. The room was spacious with two king beds. The location was the standout feature for us as the Metro is nearby and we were able to quickly get to the museums and restaurants. So happy we booked this hotel!
The Hilton was a great pit stop to heading home. Loved that it was close to every museum in Washington. Also, the restaurant bar & grill was amazing. The food was great, and the service was great. The hotel it self was clean, and the staff were professional. Would definitely stay here and recommend it to anyone visiting DC.
Great location! Easy to get to the National Mall or the Wharf. Easy drive to drop our student off at Howard too! Has a nice buffet breakfast option and a rooftop pool and the staff is attentive and friendly. Will definitely stay here again. (Bonus the shampoos and lotions smell lovely!)
We liked that the hotel was close to a lot of Museums & Monuments. Also within walking distance of The Wharf; which had a lot of restaurants & shopping.
We didn’t like that the person that stayed in the room before us, set the alarm at 7:30 am & we had no instructions on how to reset/turn off. Also remote to tv didn’t work & we couldn’t turn the tv off.
Convenient location right next Spy Museum, very clean, comfortable beds, friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
We liked the location and the spacious room and the bathroom, the bed was very comfortale.
The most frastraiting thing was no water pressure in the shower in room 12177. The HVAC fan was very noisy and needs to be repaired.
The coffee machine wasn't working. It would've been nice to have a continental breakfast.
The breakfast was phenomenal. The only suggestion I would have is to look at the prices for lunch and dinner in the restaurant. They seem to be really high.
Staff was pretty nice. Room was amazing + they upgraded me to a better room with a pool view for FREE. There’s literally a Starbucks in the lobby… can’t get any better than that (AND THE COFFEE IS GREAT. The baristas actually wanna work). Definitely will be staying her again!
Loved this visit! It was a 10-15 min walk from Mall and museums, 10 mins to great dining options at the wharf and connected to the Metro. This made navigating around easy, especially with a small child. The hotel itself was very nice and staff went above and beyond to help me celebrate my child’s bday.
