Air conditioner in the room was extremely loud and the fan speed could not be adjusted. Difficult communicating with the front desk as they did not understand English language very well. My Granddaughter found a fishing lure in the swimming pool and when we reported it (in person) the front desk help could not understand the word pool. Disappointing for a Hilton anywhere, but especially in our nations capital.

We enjoyed our stay here, however we booked this location specifically for the pool so the kids can go swimming. Unfortunately, the pool was closed for the entire time of our trip which was disappointing. Aside from the pool, this was a trip for my family.

We came here for a concert at the wharf and found it extremely convenient affordable and comfortable. All staff were courteous and attentive, fitness center had lots of room and equipment, room was quiet,clean, and comfortable. Location was an easy and pretty walk to the wharf where there were many outstanding dining options with great waterfront view. Spy museum and lenfant metro are directly in front and the museums on the mall were also a very walkable 15 minute walk

Our stay at this property lasted four days while we visited the DC area. Upon arrival to the hotel we were greeted by the staff at the check-in counter. They were very polite. The cleanliness of our room was up to par with no issues. Our room came with 2 king beds which were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and clean. Our room did not have a microwave in it. We requested one and had one delivered to our room within 30 minutes. My family really enjoyed having the Star Bucks in the hotel as well as the many other food options in the attached shopping area. The hotel is within walking distance to many of the museums. The Smithsonian Campus, the Air and Space Museum are all within a 15 minute or less walk of the hotel. The Spy Museum is right next door. We did take a Lyft ride to the Holocaust Museum, The People’s House and The White House. All of which were between a 15 and 30 minute walk. If we visit the DC area again we will definitely be staying at this Hilton again.

Conveniently located 10 min to The National Mall and The Wharf in either direction. Very walkable location but also several Metro stops or bus routes available. Couldn’t easily locate garage but valet park easy and convenient. Starbucks onsite in hotel. Roof pool a nice break mid day from the heat. Would choose here again!

Rooms are ok. Some lights didn’t work, the room as never cleaned in 4 days even though we had requested it be cleaned every day. We had to request new towels and then when they were delivered the guy shoved them at me and said “here”. Just seemed mediocre at best. When we mentioned the issues again at checkout they seemed dismissive and just going through the motions.

The location is close to the wharf and the mall. Had a 2 bedroom suite. The tvs did not work in either room. The pool was broke. The room could have been cleaner. The bar and the lobby area are very nice and clean. Parking at the hotel was 60 dollars a day.
