I was in the Washington DC area for the 4th of July holiday. When we go to the hotel, what a warm welcome by Chandler who checked my son and I in. He was so professional and nice to my son and I. He recognized me as a Lifetime Diamond member. He explained the whole layout of the hotel. It was nice not to be rushed at check in. He followed up with us on our stay. Chandler shows the true meaning of what customer service is. He does a great job of what Hilton expects. When I am back in the area I will stay there again based on the experience I had with Chandler. Read less

Staff was friendly, that is the only good thing here. Very aged hotel. Website says the metro is 2 blocks away. It’s actually a 15-20 minute walk. No taxis service the hotel so you have to walk. Ice machines are found every 5th floor. The quick stop for food, had no food. Just snacks and a frozen pizza. Not your typical Hilton property, felt more… Read more
