This is without doubt, the best Holiday Inn, I have ever stayed. The location is perfect for seeing the sights that the city has to offer as it is within a short walk to the Mall and the Smithsonian museums . The metro stop was also a short walk way and taxis were always available. The rooms are large and... More

I stayed here for ten days while I attended a conference in DC. The Hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The hotel in conveniently located near a metro station. Starbucks, CVS, and McDonalds are right next door. Liked the free wifi. Hotel also has coin-operated laundry machines which was very convenient.

After reading the recent reviews I was really reluctant to stay there, so I searched for over an hour to find a 'better' hotel in the same convenient location.

We had a very enjoyable trip to Washington DC. The hotel's location made walking everywhere doable as well as being about a block from L'Enfant Metro station. Because it's in the middle of many government buildings and no other hotels, restaurants except the hotel are non-existent for dinner. Solutions are a late lunch at the nearby American Indian museum's great... More
