It is a very good hotel, clean and safe stay for the family. The Spy museum is right outside the property and if you want to ride a tour big bus you can find it outside the property as well. The parking rate is overpriced. The hotel breakfast was also overpriced as well. Overall great stay for my family

The hotel itself was fine. The staff was great. We were in town for sightseeing, and I would not recommend this hotel for that purpose. I regret not paying a little extra to stay closer to the White House area or even in Alexandria - we loved the feel of that area. That being said, I would still stay here again if I needed to be in the area.

The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and modern. The HVAC made to much noise for several minutes when turning on, it was annoying. The staff kept the hallways and exterior guestrooms doors and walls wiped. At the bar Jeff was very pleasant and attentive. Dennis the manager was very engaging and helpful. The public women restrooms were very well maintained. The 9/20 event breakfast buffet was good, but the bacon came out raw. The 9/21 event lunch was very good. The breakfast buffet was good however had to request fresh eggs.

Very disappointing

Review for Hilton Very disappointing! We had 2 rooms. Parking $65/day (guess it’s the going price but still) Pool freezing, no jacuzzi(plenty of room for one or two) Breakfast for a family cost as much as the room. It is very costly to stay here. Our room was freezing cold, we called twice to complain, thermostat-we changed from 72-74-76-78 then turned off but it kept turning back on. We were told by their engineers there was nothing they could do. Our 2nd room was too hot, the thermostat made no difference but it was tolerable. The freezing room was not tolerable whenever it came back on. In all we were not happy. No stars. Thumbs down.
