The Holiday Inn-Capitol was great! Friendly staff, very clean hotel, bathrooms were fine(clean). The pool was small, but it was a nice thing to have on those really hot days, you just want to take a dip. Family friendly. Great beds, very comfortable, you can pick the kind of pillows you want, (soft or firm). Where the hotel is located it is great pretty close walking distance to lots of attractions. The restaurants were okay, they really need to work on that, other wise overall the stay was great, I would stay there again!

Positives: The hotels location was great, one block from the Capitol building. it was close to most attractions.

Negatives: The restaurants in the hotel could have been better.

Good experience because of location and ease of access - mildly annoying noise from trains passing under our window. On balance OK

Positives: Close to mall museums.

Negatives: Rail train and signal noise.

The only reason I would not return is for the parking fee. Then we had to pay for Metro travel. This was extremely inconvenient. Loved D. C.

Positives: Spacious,clean,nice view, prompt elevator, quiet.

Negatives: Huge daily fee for SELF parking. $32.00/day is outrageous.

If I were to return to DC I would definitely choose this hotel again due to the location and the price of the hotel.

Positives: The staff was very courteous and helpful. The location is perfect for walking to the national mall and even Chinatown (1 mile).

Negatives: The immediate surrounding stores/ eateries closed at or before 9 pm so I had to take a taxi for dinner.

The hotel was very clean, conveniently located to attractions. They charge $30/night for parking, which is ludicrous. Hotel staff is not very helpful although the reception staff was friendly. TV in the room had no volume & they did not fix even after 2 days. Restaurant in the hotel was very good, a bit pricey though.

Positives: Convenient and

Negatives: Unfriendly crew, inefficient maintenance crew.

Positives: Close to everything DC (mall, metro, etc.); clean, spacious & friendly!

Negatives: Would appreciate an indoor pool.

Good hotel, nice commons areas, front desk staff was always friendly. Was not feeling well the night I was there and after inquiring at front desk about drug store that might still be open (it was 10:30 and nothing was), the front desk clerk asked me twice if there was anything else she could do for me. Was not as convenient to my client's as other hotels, but in a pinch would definitely stay there again.

Positives: Beautiful commons areas, staff that was cheerful and cared about my needs.

Negatives: Room furniture was dated, big gaps for light and sound around room door, but neither were issue for me.

If staying here, know that meter parking is free on the weekends. You don't need to pay the 25 dollar a night parking fee. The hotel is close to the national mall but it is in need of updating. The rooms are out of date and smell of smoke. Bathrooms are<BR/>ok the tub did not drain well. This is clearly a two star hotel.

Positives: Close to the National Mall.

Negatives: Rooms were dark, old, and run down looking. The room was a non smoking room yet it had a strong odor of smoke.
