Close to White House. No on site parking. Valet.

Room was supposed to be two queen was given two full beds instead. Tv was only viewable from one bed. Parking is off site and can take 10-20 mins for the valet to bring your vehicle. They also warn you to remove all valuables and electronic devices from the vehicle. breakfast was offered but not much variety or hot food was available. Staff very friendly and willing to help.

A little disappointed

Cons: New mattress and clean window and shower curtains.
Spent one night at hotel prior to speaking at a conference being held there. I booked a reservation late and therefore had to pay full price, not the conference discounted rate. At full price the room was very expensive and I was hoping not to be disappointed in paying out that much for one night's stay. Check in was seamless. Room was a bit dingy -- bathroom shower curtain needed cleaning as did the window curtains, and the bed mattress was lumpy.

Outdated rooms

Outdated rooms with no mini bar and no mini fridge. The bathroom with rusty appliances. I stayed in this hotel 10 years ago and had better experience with the staff. Would not recommend to friends.

Nice Hotel ,Close to Everything!

Location: Close to three Metro stations. 20 minute Metro ride from DCA airport. Nice restaurants nearby. Ideal location.
Had a four night stay at the Capital Hilton with my 9 year old grandson to show him the sights in D.C. Hotel staff was outstanding! Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Great breakfast buffet each morning that gave us both a good start for the day. Not the box of dry cereal and stale muffin type but fresh omelets buy request, fresh fruits and juices, waffles, bread options from croissants to danish pastries and fabulous coffee! Room was a good size , comfortable beds and clean surroundings. We were given a corner room with good sight lines in all directions. We were on a busy street and there was street noises, but being from Maine we get plenty of quiet and we went to the city to experience the city, and that we did. The Hilton made that an experience my grandson would remember always.

The room is very clean.

Pros: The room is clean and tidy
Cons: I would be better to make the curtain a real one instead of decoration, and offer customers slippers.
Location: It is close to the metro station, so has very convenient transportation.
The curtain is decoration. It cann't be drawn, which makes you feel awkward and uncomfortable. Moreover, I think offering customers slippers is necessary, especially after the shower, when you have to step on the carpet on that you've just walked with the shoes on.
