We just returned from a great stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Washington DC. We arrived on Friday 5/30. Check in was easy and efficient, the staff was friendly & courteous. This hotel is very nicely located. We walked pretty much every where we went. Easy walk to the National mall, White house (we passed by this every time we went out) spy museum and the brand new crime & punishment museum. Lots of places to eat nearby. We got a full american breakfast included in our packaged (~$250 a night) for all four of us. (Breakfast was great, made to order eggs, freshly made waffles, etc etc)
Room had a small fridge, microwave and coffee machine with a flat screen TV.

The only complaints. Double size beds, which for my family is too small and they air conditioner was loud (in my opinion). I would stay here again with just my husband.

A new, clean and comfortable hotel with a good location a couple blocks away from the White House. A little farther to the Mall, which will put you at the Washington Memorial, but is still an easy stroll. The Metro is across the street from the hotel which was very convenient for us and took us wherever we needed to go.

We had a weekend rate and easily filled my room request when we got in at 11:00PM. Breakfast was okay, but kind of pricey. I would absolutely stay again.

We satayed here over memorial weekend and had a great trip. It was an excellect homebase for sightseeing. The service was great and, considering the holiday, I feel we had a good rate $143/night + tax.

+: service, location (metro, white house), clean attractive room, free cookies, pool

-: expensive parking $23/day, charged for local calls, elevators were malfunctioning stopping at the wrong floors (not a big deal)

My wife and I booked a king, non-smoking room at this Hilton Garden on May 10 & 11. We found the front desk and valet staff to be friendly and helpful and were able to check-in at 10am. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable.

( This was our first stop on a 14 day road trip. Except for two nights, we stayed at either Hilton Garden or Hampton Inn and it's the first time I wasn't bothered by a sore back after a night or two on a hotel mattress.)

We had a White House tour at 11 am which we made easily since it's only a few blocks away. Most of the major attractions are within walking distance if you're able. We did take a cab to the Lincoln Memorial our second morning. Got there about 8:30 and had it practically to ourselves. Could of had a great picture devoid of people except for a newspaper reading guard standing directly in front of Abe. Had to PhotoShop him out.

Lots of restaurants in the area, we walked to one the first night, took a cab the second night due to the weather. I'll do a separate review on dining.

Overall, an enjoyable visit.
