Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Rae21044 Comfortable Room, Very Loud Though
The room and hotel were aesthetically pleasing. However, my AC was abnormally loud. I had to turn it off because of the noise. One evening it woke me up several times during the night. I took a video because it was so extreme. It must have been broken or had an issue. I told the front desk and wrote an online review but did not get a response. Will not stay here again for that reason. Other than that... It was a lovely hotel.

Very close to museum. But no restaurants around the hotel. Very difficult to find parking spots on street.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Piggy19 Excellent value, location and clean too!
Would definitely stay here again! Excellent value and location to all the sites and Metro. Hotel decor is dated but very well maintained. And the whole place is very clean! Staff very friendly. Only complaint would be the lack of sound-proofing and noise in the halls. Guests seemed to think the hall was a great place to hangout;( Just needed to remind them that they weren't in a dorm and they vacated either to the lobby or rooms.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by JackieK04 Great location, thin walls
My husband, 3 year old daughter and I took a mini-vacation to DC for a weekend and stayed at this Holiday Inn because of the proximity to the sites of DC. The Metro station is very close, the National Mall is very close, and some great restaurants are close or a three minute Metro ride away. I am a Priority Club member, so our breakfast was free. The buffet had a wide range of food, from healthy to unhealthy (but yummy), many of which appeal to a toddler. My only complaint is the sound insulation in the rooms. We heard doors slamming all evening and night long. Unfortunately, we also had very inconsiderate neighbors that came back from partying at 3 am and woke all of us up. We called the front desk and they took care of it right away.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by CTRTEACH11 Great Location for the Washington Mall
We stayed here one evening because of how close it is to the Mall and the Newseum. We ate and had drinks in the restaurant bar, and were very pleased with our dinners and the service. The staff was friendly, and delivered our meals promptly. They have a Starbucks next door for a coffee stop, and a bistro for all your other meals. Parking was secure, safe and located beneath the building. One little comment....our mattress should have been replaced because it was sagging in the middle. It was our second time here, and we would return for a third time. Great value on weekend visits.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by JoyKatie Great location very close to the Mall
Our recent visit to Washington DC was great and Holiday Inn Capitol was a great place to stay and experience the city. My sister-in-law and I brought our two 10 year old daughters to see all the Washington sites. The rooms were clean and the staff was accommodating. We were close enough to the Smithsonian's to walk and close enough to the Metro to travel everywhere else... we felt very safe. We even took the Metro to and from Reagan National... buying the smartcard, registering it and refilling it as needed, we averaged $5/day in transportation. Also, this is a great location that is very close to the pier if you choose to do the Spirit of Mount Vernon cruise/tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed!

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by ExperiencedTourist Not the best option for a Washington Hotel
Holiday Inn has priced this hotel like a 5 star hotel; I have no problem paying that kind of money when I travel BUT not for a big motel like this one. Holiday Inn is able to charge this high prices because it has a great location but since there are Bicycles available everywhere, next time I will staying in a more refined hotel fot 3/4 of the price. Regards to all.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by BusinessTraveler101 Mixed Feelings
I have stayed here a few times as it is located next to where I have to work and each experience has been different. One stay I have a great room, good service, next stay I have a less than satisfactory room and mediocre service. So I'm not sure what I'm going to get. I have heard the same feedback from fellow employees who occasionally stay here as well. For location reasons I would consider staying here again. If not for location I would not consider it based on having to take a chance on what kind of room I will get and service. The front desk service has always been good except for last time the room I was provided was unacceptable and I requested a new room. They were accommodating on providing a new room but should have asked "the room I have for you is right in front of the elevator and on top of the train so it may be a little noisy - is this ok?"
Some people my be ok with it but I was not.
The maid service is what is unknown. Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. My last visit was not so good as the toiletries were not restocked as I used them. Traveling on business I rely on hotel toiletries so I don't have to worry about my carry on bags. The visit prior I received extras so its a gamble.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by NHVinman Best Family Vacation to DC EVER!!
Let me start by saying that this was a family vacation to the DC area. Our stay here was fantastic. Our room was clean comfortable and sufficed our needs. The location is fantastic for ANY family looking for a location close to the Mall, but far enough away from the noise. My kids have some allergies to food (glueten and dairy) and the restaurant was able to accomodate them with meals that they loved and a staff that was fantastic and patient.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by conference2013 Very Convenient
I actually had a conference in Maryland, but opted to stay in DC to enjoy some time in the Capitol. Our stay at the Holiday Inn was wonderful. it was an easy drive into Maryland and convenient to have parking on site. The hotel has a great location and we walked everywhere. Our only complaint about the room was the noise at night, unfortunately the people in the adjoining room were so loud, it made sleeping an issue. Overall we had a great trip, the staff were very friendly, helpful and accomodating, we will definitely be back again.

I very much enjoyed my stay at this hotel. As someone new to traveling on my own I found the staff most pleasant and helpful. They made everything easy for me, even when I managed to lock myself out of my room. My room was clean and comfortable. The location was excellent - close enough to the mall to walk there easily. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 Location, Location, Location!
Perfect location right next to the Air and Space Museum. You can come here and see everything you want by foot or metro. Park your car in the garage and don't touch it again until you leave.
We had only one night in DC and a downtown location was KEY. Very helpful and polite staff.
Some reviewers thought the room outdated. It's true that they could definitely use a renovation, but everything was clean and in good working order.
The only negative was the huge price tag. I have never paid so much for a hotel before, but it was a last minute reservation (that morning) and for one night we could handle it.
We are a family with 2 small children (3 and 5 years old).

Location is perfect for visiting the attractions and metro. Rooms and cleaning were very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a McDonalds and Quiznos next door. Restaurant staff was great at making changes for diet restrictions. Other food locations nearby cater to the businesses as they all close around 3pm. Only wish would have been more selection for evening meals close by, but that is not Holiday Inn's problem just a DC issue.

This hotel is in a great location and the check in staff was definely friendly and answered questions we had.
Disappointed with the rooms. They are definitely dated I thought all the Holiday Inn properites were being updated.
Restaurant food was okay, but some of your wait staff needs to be trained on customer service. Ignorning us and not being friendly doesn't make for a pleasant meal.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by drockitt Great location near DC attractions and agencies
First, this Holiday Inn is in a great location, convenient to the Mall, Capitol, and museums. In addition, it's near the L'enfant Plaza Metro station and several government agencies, for Federal employees in town for work. Service is good as well and there is a Starbucks in the building for breakfast or a cup of coffee midday. However, this place could really use a spruce-up. Carpet, paint furniture and wallpaper have all seen better days. Also, if you can avoid staying in the back of the building near the train tracks, do so, because the trains seem to run 24/7.
