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.

We stayed at this hotel in May 2008. Great location right across the street from a metro stop, easy walking distance to the White House. Room was good size and comfortable, but more importantly very clean and quiet. Room is good for families with young children, has refrig. and microwave. Staff was nice. I would definitely stay here again.
