Hilton Washington DC Capitol Hill

The room is a little dated, TV is rather old but it is really no matter if you have a laptop and an HDMI cable to plug into if you want to utilize the TV for entertainment when you are in your room. That being said, it shouldn't matter much for the great location of the hotel itself, I took the MARC train to Union Station, and with the hotel being about 10ish minutes away from the station, it's a short and easy walk. Apart from the distance from Union Station, I was there for Otakon 2024 being held at the Walter E Washington Convention Center which is roughly a 15-minute walk from the hotel but mostly a straight line from and to the hotel which is nice if you can manage to walk it and save a bit of money from getting something even closer to the Convention Center. If you are planning to take the train to DC, I would definitely recommend this hotel just due to the location and overall quality of the hotel, it is a little dated but the staff make up for it. I also got the included breakfast for each day of my stay and it is totally worth it. It covers ordering from the breakfast menu in total for a fraction of the price booking it included with the room and the food quality itself was also exceptional which is unexpected but very much appreciated. I would give this hotel a comfortable low 9, if they were able to revamp the rooms themselves with ceiling lights and update the tech and shower heads (really low-pressure shower heads that just seem prevalent in hotels for some reason) I would give this a higher 9 but in overall consideration, a 9 is still very good.

Ideal location. 5 minutes walk from Union station. Close to capitol and other landmarks. Rooms were clean. Air conditioning was efficient and silent. Mattress was a bit soft but generally ok. Pillows were very good for my neck. The view was on to the internal area which I didn’t mind as it was very quiet. I didn’t hear any neighbours, either due to their absence or good audio insulation. Breakfast was very good. The reception kindly offered to keep our luggage after check out which was very useful as we planned to go on trip until late afternoon before heading to the train.

The location was excellent, very close to Union station, metro and ciculator bus routes although was walking distance to Capitol Hill. Staff were always friendly and greeted you with a welcome smile. The room was always cleaned and tidy on our return each day and the beds were very comfortable. The air conditioning was silent but very efficient. Plenty of sockets for all our gadgets. The bathroom was huge with loads of room and shelving to put toiletries in. They even gave us a goodie bag as we were staying for so long (5 nights) which suggests it is used for much shorter stays normally.

Front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating... got us checked in and checked out promptly. I like that it was close to everything that we needed to do... Like my girlfriend needed to take the rental car back to return it from her drive from philly and we could go simply to Union Station. That was strategic. thinking on my part but still it was closer then I thought... as well as she was in town for a wedding and the reception location was only about 6 mins away. All in all just a great stay, when we were done with the eventful days to come back to a comfortable place to lay our heads down. Also really like the valet service, especially having been a attendant years ago as one of my first jobs. They were cool and professional.
