We were more than pleased with the location of Holiday Inn Washington - Capitol (a $19 cab ride from the airport). Thinking that we would at least have a few museums to see before using taxis or subway, we were surprised to find that the nearby (10 - 15 mins walk) Smithsonian Museums total 19. Enough to keep one busy... More

We are very fortunate to stay in this hotel right now. Booking in was flawless and the room has two double beds and almost twice as large as your normal hotel room. USA Today as you open the door in the morning. Very nice little shop and restaurant on site. Metro station is not further than 300metres en the Space... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night, and was quite pleased. It is a full-service type of hotel, so not as many freebies as some options, but at least the internet in the rooms is free. The lobby was busy, and not especially attractive, but there are some outside seating areas. I opted for a room with a double... More

My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Capitol during this past Memorial Day weekend (2012). It is in such a great location that we were able to walk around & see all of the popular tourist attractions. No cab was needed--except to get us to and from the Ronald Reagan Airport! The staff was very friendly and attentive... More

Convenient to the Mall, Smithsonian Museums and the Capitol. Room was clean, staff was helpful. Good restaurant and nice bar and grille for after hours. Metro was 1 block away. We took cabs to dinner at night to give ourselves a break from so much walking during the day. Would definitely stay here again!

While the accommodation and staff were good. Our memories of staying at this hotel have been tarnished. We prepaid accommodation with travel agent and on presentation of voucher for family of 4, were given a conjoined room. Horror when TWO months later when we noticed our bank statement had monies taken out of our credit card without authorisation or notice.... More

My wife and I stayed at this Holiday Inn last week for four nights while we were in DC for a series of events. The hotel was, as others have said, ideally located if you are interested in doing things in and around the Capitol. It was about a 10 minute walk to the Capitol. The L'Enfant Plaza metro station...

This Holiday Inn is in a great location, off the beaten path. It is across from the U.S. Department of Education, five blocks from Pennsylvania Avenue, and very close to many popular tourist attractions. It is about a 10 minute walk to the Capitol building. I was a female traveling alone and felt very safe at this location. There is... More

Thank you for commenting on our hotel's location and staff. I also see that we need to do a better job of letting our guests know about our recycling efforts. On each floor in the vending area, we have recycle bins for newspapers, plastics, cans and bottles. In addition, we recycle all of our cardboard and frying oil in the... More
