The location was PERFECT! Very close to National Mall. Easy to get yo via Metro. The hotel itself was great. Very clean. Super friendly staff, especially Kenny. We bought the breakfast buffet one day & it was adequate. They had free wine tasting in the lobby each night we were there. I would stay again.
Hotel was very accommodating by keeping our bags safe until 3pm check-in. So much is in walking distance. Staff were friendly, professional & informative. Room was very spacious. Check in & out was a breeze. A staff member texted thru out stay to make sure all your needs were met. Highly recommend & will be back.
A buffet breakfast was available if that is your jam, good food! The 21st Amendment Bar & Grill is open at 4, and I had dinner there three nights. Very good food (blueberry cheesecake!!!), can be a bit noisy, but the staff is great.
My room was very nice, hotel service was fantastic every day.
A concierge was in the lobby to assist with any D.C. visitor questions.

The hotel was walking distance to the museums the wharf where there’s lots of restaurants to choose from
Hotel and staff were great
Would recommend this hotel
Perfect location and clean room. Slept like a baby every night. Just wished they had more variety in the breakfast buffet, it seemed like they had the same thing every day.
The breakfast is excellent with many choices. The staff were very friendly when serving the drink during the breakfast. The hotel location is conveniently close to the national mall and capital. We had a good stay, will come again.
We stayed there for two nights and our third time staying. The staff are very friendly and professional. The room is clean and spacious. Location is very convenient and close to museums and monuments and public transportation. We will definitely come back and stay again.
Our stay at this Holiday Inn far exceeded our expectations largely due to Ricky the concierge that helped with choosing sights, tours, transportation, and restaurants. His cheerful, professional guidance was invaluable for our six days of touring WA DC for our 45th wedding anniversary. Buffet breakfasts were delicious! Being close to National Mall was very helpful.
We loved the location. Close to the Metro and all of the museums. We had daily maid service which was different from the weekly maid service posted on the website. No breakfast and no close grocery stores. It was nice that we had a refrigerator/freezer. Really needed to have a microwave in our room.
