We really enjoy our trip to Washington DC last week. The hotel is near the places we want to visit such as the Capitol Hill, Washington Monument, Smithsonian Museums. We did not have any problem going to Dulles International Airport as the hotel is near the metro bus stop. The hotel staff were very friendly and very warm especially the front desk staff and the waitresses at the Capitol Bistro.

We were originally going to stay further outside of the city and take the metro, but it seemed to be easier if we stayed within walking distance of the mall since we were only planning to visit in that area. The Holiday Inn is one of the few options, especially for a family of 5. Is it an absolutely perfect hotel? No, but I haven't been to one yet, regardless of price or location. Here are a few things to consider:Pros: Location: You can't beat it's proximity to all the major attractions!Room: the room size was more than adequate; beds were comfortable; refrigerator was handy; room was clean; more than enough towelsStaff: everyone we dealt with at the hotel was helpful and pleasantParking: yes, it is pricey, but parking in any city is,,,you just need to accept that if you are driving a vehicle into any city. The parking is safe and very convenient. I'm not complaining. Price: I thought the price was reasonableCons:Availability of food: There are virtually no options for a meal nearby! There are two options in the hotel with limited menu and high prices. We did not eat at either. A McDonalds and Quiznos are both nearby as is a take out pizza place. Otherwise, you are really out of luck. This was BY FAR the biggest problem with the hotel. You really need to plan ahead and eat before you head back to the hotel.Delivery of rollaway: We needed a rollaway since we are a family of 5. The bed was comfortable; however, it was literally delivered just inside the door of the room. We moved things around and set it up but it really should have been done for us, especially since there is an upcharge. The front desk personnel were very apologetic when we spoke to them in the morning; however, if you need a rollaway, I would confirm its setup LONG before you need it! We came in at 11pm and were less than pleased that we couldn't just get to bed!Noise: The hotel is fairly loud. Trains and street noise I expect to some extent...what I do not expect is to hear every conversation of every person walking down the hall; the sound of the ice machine when I cannot even see it from the doorway, etc.Everything is a tradeoff and I believe that whatever is "missing" at this hotel is more than made up for by its price, location and parking. I would absolutely stay here again.

This hotel has an excellent location for the Mall, museums, the Capitol, etc.., but has few restaurants near it. The hotel itself is quite run down. several things worked poorly in my room. including the TV and the toilet. If you stay frequently at Holiday Inn and know what to expect, you may find that this one is a notch below average.

This hotel is located just 2 blocks from National Mall and 4 blocks from Capitol what makes it a very convenient for tourists. Room service was good. Rooms were OK decorated but nothing special. Not enough TV channels. Take only rooms with windows to the internal yard because otherwise its too loud because of a railroad near by. Parking in this hotel is one of the most expensive in DC - 35$ per day but you will get a card with which you can leave and come back whenever you wish. One shampoo mini-bottle per room. Now serious cons - check all bills and your credit card charges twice!!! They charged me 100$ for early leaving even I prepaid 2 days stay before in full and didn't not plan to leave, also they charged me additional 84$ I don't know why. And promised me to refund later. The stuff told me that it was not their fault. THAN THEY CHARGED ME FOR PARKING for 2 CARS. Sorry, I could not drive two cars simultaneously:))) So this hotel has a pretty nice location but be careful with your credit card!

Stayed here for two nights. Easy to find when driving. The hotel was spotlessly clean and all the staff we came into contact with were professional, polite and helpful, Reception and concierge were particulaly good . Did not use the main retaurant but the bar & bistro were good. Car parking at $30 dollars a day seemed expensive at first but that is the going rate. If touring check out the evening double deck bus tour, we had a great 4 hours plus tour and the monuments look completely different when floodlit
