Holiday Inn Capitol Hotel - Page 2

It's in a good Location. I would stay there again.

The weekend rate lured us in but, when Monday came around, the rate tripled so we cut our stay short.

This hotel made me feel elegant: The lobby was grand and the polished stone floors gave me the feeling of elegance.

I loved staying here, it had comfortable and clean rooms and it was much more high-class than just any random hotel room. It is much more expensive than other hotels though because of its proximity to the best places in Washington. It is only two blocks from the Air and Space Museum and you can walk to the White House and Washington Memorial quite easily. It will take a while, but it is not too far. This hotel is really great and it is one of my favorites.

This hotel made me feel relaxed: I knew I had a nice place to sleep at night and I knew I would be safe.

The street location is extremely convenient. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is well trained. I would recommend this Holiday Inn hotel to anyone visiting Washington for business or pleasure.

For the price, parking should have been included in the overall cost.

The location was excellent, just off the Mall and very close to a Metro station. It was also located directly across from the classroom where I was sent for training. There was a Starbucks cafe off the lobby, which was great for a quick breakfast coffee and muffin.

This hotel made me feel relaxed: Since it was so close to my business, I felt relaxed knowing I could walk to my class meetings and that took a lot of pressure off.

It has an excellent staff and nice accommodations. It's centrally located.

It was located right where we hoped it would be. The people were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were kept clean and nice. They have great bedding! It's a wonderful hotel.

This hotel made me feel practical: Everything that we needed was available to us at the hotel or was in close walking distance. That makes things more sensible.

The overall experience was fantastic. The hotel is within walking distance of the Capitol, Botanical Gardens, and many museums. Plus, you have many choices to eat within the block. The hotel rooms were very clean and the service was great. One complaint I have was the parking. I was charged $22 per day to park in the hotel's garage and the process for getting your car in and out of the parking garage is ridiculous.

It is just like another cookie-cutter hotels.

They gave us a Sunday newspaper for free. Everything was quite nice. We had no complaints here.

We stayed at this hotel for the 4th of July week with my husband, myself, and my 1 year old daughter. Overall, I was very pleased with this hotel and will stay there again.

I don't recommend the on site restaurant or ordering room service, and although the food is decent, the prices are over the top. For example I ordered 1 Belgian Waffle $7.00, 3 Orange Juices $7.50, Hot Tea $1.50 & a small bowl of fruit $4.00. Somehow this ended up being almost 30.00 they have a delivery charge of 18% plus a tax of 10% and then they charge you $2.00 more per entree item. This goes for the Pizza Hut on site as well. I recommend if are staying here that you get your food from the Shuttle which is a little cafe type place that is also on site. You'll pay about half of what you would with room service for mostly the same things. There aren't really any nice restaurants around this hotel but there are a few chains McDonalds, Quiznos, & Starbucks are within walking distance.

DC is a very, very expensive city to visit, making it hard to stay on any kind of a budget, but where we lost the most money was on food, it is ridiculously overpriced and that goes for most of the city restaurants as well. There is a placed called Harry's that has great burgers but sodas are $2.50 with no refills, draft beer was $4.00, and a burger is $8.95 but fries are $2.25 extra.

We went to the pool twice while we were there and it was a horrible experience. We tried to let our daughter float in her boat she was jumped over, kicked and just knocked everywhere we literally had to barricade ourselves around her. The life guard is useless he's about 16 and does nothing. There were kids running everywhere and doing flips on the ropes there were a few adult guests sitting around drinking beer. I'm assuming these are the parents that should have been watching their kids.

Our room was very large, we had a fridge that worked OK. There are train tracks next to the hotel, so you might want to request a room over the courtyard.

It was a great hotel for being a tourist in Washington DC. My room was nice. The restaurant was great for morning buffet. The bar was fine.

This hotel is in a great location. We were able to walk to the Memorials, Museums and the Capital. A McDonald's, Quizno's and a CVS are just down the street. We would definitely stay here again.

I liked the location and its closeness to the attractions and mass transportation. The restaurant was adequate.

This hotel made me feel practical: The stay provided for our needs during our vacation. The staffs were knowledgeable about the area and daily events.

The remodeling opened up the lobby, making it not only more convenient but more visually appealing as well. The front desk and concierge personnel was very helpful. My only complaint about the stay was the fact that the hours at the Smithson's restaurant were not clearly posted and even though the door was open the staff let me to stand at the hosts stand for almost ten minutes before telling me that they were not open. A very simple sign would have saved me the frustration. I also do not believe that any customer should be allowed to wait that long without some type of acknowledgement from a staff person.

It is in a convenient location with pleasant surroundings.

This hotel made me feel welcome: I had an especially nice and efficient clerk at check in. I also like their automatic check-out procedure.

I ordered a smoking room and received a non-smoking, but they did change it for me.

We had no problem with the hotel room. The only time that we had any difficulties was in the hotel restaurant. The service was poor and very slow. Each time that we ate in the restaurant, either it took over 45 minutes to receive our order - then it was wrong or we couldn't find someone to take our order.

It was newly remodeled. The rooms were nice and spacious, the staff was friendly. The hotel had good food and atmosphere; overall, it was a good experience. It's also convenient to Metro.
