“Get a room away from the railroad tracks!”

Holiday Inn Washington - Capitol

May 4, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This hotel has great amenities, especially the Business Center with 4 free Internet computers, a printer, and a copier, all open 24 hours. But be careful to get a room away from the railraod tracks that run by one side of the hotel. Freight trains run all night. Others in my group staying on that side complained of the all-night noise. Best room numbers (furthest from the tracks) end in 02 to 23. Even-number rooms face an inner courtyard. I was in 702, and only heard an occassional train whistle, but I was not disturbed by the trains. Worst rooms end in odd numbers above 53, which directly face the tracks. Otherwise, hotel was great. My room had a large frig, a microwave oven, and big L-shaped desk work area. There is a rooftop pool I did not check out, a 24 hour fitness center, and in addition to the Business Center PCs there is free wired Internet in the rooms and free wireless Internet in the lobby and restaurants. I am a member of the Holiday Inn/ICH "Priority Club", which gets you free coffee in restaurants, $2 Off the $14.95 breakfast buffet (still to expensive for me), and a late check-out (1PM). I believe I was also given a better room (away from the tracks) because I was a member. Mine was also a corner room, so it had windows in two directions. You may benefit by joining this Club before or upon arrival. To get to the hotel, take Metro to L'Enfant Plaza stop, exit out 7th & Maryland exit, and hotel is around the corner down 6th Street.

“Nice clean hotel, close to metro and mall”

Holiday Inn Washington - Capitol

5 of 5 stars
Beaver Creek, Minnesota
Apr 25, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Holiday Inn Capitol in DC provided a wonderful stay very close to
the metro - 1 1/2 blocks - for transportation around the city and
within a short walking distance to all the attractions on the national mall. It is in a very safe clean area. The Inn has two
restauraunts and a close Quiznos and McDonalds nearby which we didn't find until later in our stay. That is the only downfall for
this hotel and location - very limited to access to restaurants, etc.
However, the overall stay at the inn was wonderful. Tour information and bookings are available at the front desk and also in the gift shop. We would definitely return for another visit.

“Excellent, centrally located hotel”

Holiday Inn Washington - Capitol

Apr 24, 2008

I had the pleasure of staying at the Holiday Inn Capitol Hill for a quick weekend getaway. It was such a pleasant surprise, since Holiday Inn is not always associated with luxury. I chose this hotel for the location and it did not disappoint. Steps to major museums and historic sites. The hotel was clean, modern, and safe. The staff was gracious and warm. Parking was a little steep at $25 per night, but well worth it since you can come and go at no additional charge. I'd definitely stay again.

Holiday Inn Washington - Capitol

Apr 15, 2008

We booked on Priceline and were under the impression that a three-star hotel (as it was listed) would be a little nicer. They didn't give us our bed preference and no one was around to take our bags to our room.
That said, the room was generally clean and parking in the deck below was convenient.

1/2 found this review helpful

Perfect location near the Capitol and the Mall. Parking underground. Friendy and efficient staff. This is a top class Holiday Inn. Rooms big and in top class condition. Good breakfast nice bar and a starbucks on ground floor. Did'nt get a chance to tray the Smitzionian restraunt but it looked good. Located near all the museums and especially the Air and Space Museum - dont miss it . The Hotel is right beside a Metro station. Look no further for a superb place to stay in Washington
