Our first week we stayed at another (very expensive) hotel in DuPont Circle, a very nice hotel but not as convenient as this one. This hotel made us feel right at home and the convenience of its location is endless! First, it is a very short walk from the L'enfant Metro Station, where you can board the underground subway system... More

The location of this Holiday Inn is very good, close to Museums and Capitol Hill. It also has cafes, restaurants and a Starbucks within its boundaries. The rooms are nicely set out and include a fridge in the room. However, we found our room very noisy, being able to hear everything in the corridors and the rooms either side. There... More

The location of this hotel is hard to beat for anyone visiting the Capitol. We loved the location, the staff and the room. Perfect for our Grand USA Tour. Although we only stayed three nights we enjoyed every moment with the star attractions of the Mall, Museums and of course the Capitol Building. What a wonderful memory

This property is great if you want to do a walking tour of the Capitol and nearby Smithsonian or catch a ride on the Metro nearby. L' Enfant Plaza Metro station right around the corner. This is an older Holiday Inn that has been well maintained and I found that the facilities were self-contained and up to date. There is... More

Lured in by the promise of free Wi-Fi in the holiday brochure after other choices weren't available I was sure glad that we ended up in the Holiday Inn Capitol. The greatest selling point is the fabulous location. Two minutes walk from the Air & Space Museum, and therefore close to the other museums on the Smithsonian stretch, is a... More

Most of the staff is helpful, the rooms are nice. If they give you an odd numbered room, that means that you are on the train track side of the hotel. If you want a quieter room get an even numbered room which is on the patio side. They mislead me by telling me the opposite when I check in.... More

Thank you for staying with us. And for future stays, just so you know, not all odd numbered rooms are on the train side of the hotel. Only about 90 of our 532 rooms are actually on that side of the hotel. Our hotel is shaped like the letter C or a U on it's side. Unless the hotel is... More

Seriously, you can't beat this location -- only a block and a half from the Air and Space Museum, and about a block from the nearest metro...all for the best price I could find for a decent hotel in DC! The room was a decent size for the three people in our family and included all the necessary amenities. It... More

The price wasn't too bad. The room was more than comfortable. The lobby and outside terrace were great for small meetings. The location was AWESOME ! Two blocks from the Mall, surrounded by museums, most free. One block from the nearest Bike Share station, which was terrific. Can't wait to go back with my family.

The hotel is aging, but it was very clean. The staff was very helpful and professional. I recommend for both business travelers and families. If you get a chance, be sure to go to the rooftop pool and check out the view of the capitol.
