If you recall Holiday Inns as a kinda ok place for families, you will be surprised. If you have had lots of experience with ok, but not especially friendly front desk staff, you will be surprised. This is a well managed, attractive hotel that has a great location for several parts of DC, whether business or travel. As others have... More

Thank you for your wonderful review of our hotel on Trip Advisor. And you are definitely correct, we are not your typical Holiday Inn. More

Staff were very accommodating and professional. Easy walk from Metro, direct line from Ronald Reagan Airport. The room was clean and comfortable and I was lucky to get a room that faced the courtyard. As a single female in dc on business it was great, for walking and there is a taxi stand right outside. Close to museums and capitol. More

Thank you for commenting on our location. We are indeed very close to the museums and many of the city's historical monuments. Our hotel is located near numerous government office buildings and museums, providing a quiet and safe area for our guests. As far as night clubs and music venues, you are correct, there aren't any immediately in the vicinity.... More

Bluntly, this place is run by 2-year-olds, with the work ethic of 102-year-olds. Oh, and it's LOUD. The VRE (train) runs right behind the building. But, really, it was the kids that roamed the halls like they were at a HS dance that really kept me awake at night. There are always kids in D.C., for some darn thing, but... More

I'm sorry you experienced what you did at our hotel. Each year around the same time, there is a March in Washington, DC that brings many young people from all over the country. Numerous groups of these young people stay with us. They are supposed to be chaperoned during there stay. However, some chaperones are more diligent than others. I... More

We had a four night stay here in December 2011. We were a family of four and had requested a room that would accomodate a roll away bed. Specifically chose this hotel as we were assured that the room would fit an extra bed. Well, the roll away fitted, but only just. There was very little room left to move... More

Thank you for commenting on our hotel for Trip Advisor. You are correct, there is a train track directly behind the hotel. For the light sleeper, it can cause some difficulty; however, we have numerous requests from guests for rooms on the train track side of the hotel. For many, they never hear the trains outside. Hopefully, next time you... More

Business stay overnight. Luckily needed to rise early because there is a multitrack railway directly beside the hotel. Commuter and freight trains started very early blowing horns right outside the room. This would not be a place for someone looking to sleep in. Otherwise room and restaurant were clean. Breakfast buffet reasonable around $14. Room was overpriced around $300/night. Business... More

The hotel room was quite nice; not 5 star mega-posh...but very nice, clean and comfortable. It was located within walking distance to most of the Smithsonian Museums and a short walk to the National Mall. The food at the bar was verry good, and although the drinks were a little pricey for a midwesterner, I will say that the bartender... More

We stayed here for a week in early December. The hotel was comfortable however a bit far from the main areas of the city centre. Good location for the museums, and there is a taxi rank right outside the hotel should you need to go further. It was great to have a Starbucks next door and also a laundry for... More

You are correct, we are in a great location to visit all of the Nation's Monuments and Museums. We do indeed have 4 different food and beverage options; however, for future, just 2 stops away on the metro, you can be in an area that has many restaurants with a variety of cuisines, bars and night life. Thank you for... More

This hotel is a great, no frills, value hotel. We stayed there one night to see some sights in the area. The room and main areas were clean. The furniture in the room is worn (but clean). The overall appearance of our room was a bit dated; popcorn ceilings, wallpaper, the worn furniture. But the beds were fine and the... More
