“Holiday Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Great stay...easy off/on I-495 and centrally located next to metro, so commute into DC was easy. Accomodations and service were outstanding, as was the restaurant and bar. A great experience all around...

“Good Property for group or business”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

This property is an older, well-maintained Hoikldiay Inn property, well located a few miles from Washington DC with easy access to the Metro system.

I was there with a group, and felt that the staff did a good job accommodating te needs for room placement (this was a student group), as well as serving a good breakfast buffet.

Easy to reach either from I-95 or Route 1 from downtown DC and close driving distance to Old Town Alexandrai are advantages for indivisuals as well.

“Renovations look great!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We stay here every year and this hotel just keeps getting better.
The rooms are clean with great bedding... the front desk staff is fabulous... the train station is across the street... and there is a Starbucks and great restaurants within a block or two. Free parking is a bonus!

“great location for DC”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Overall:
This hotel is in good shape and in a great location for seeing DC. The Metro is very close (about 2 blocks), which is the best way to get into the city. Reagan Airport is close and the hotel offers a shuttle to the airport and places nearby. There is also a movie theater, Starbucks, Teds, Thai, Subway and several other restaurants about 2 blocks away.

Property:
This looks like an older property that has been remodeled fairly recently. The building is about 8 floors high, has a bar and restaurant, indoor pool, and nice meeting space.

Rooms:
The rooms were fairly large for DC, there was the typical mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, desk, TV, night stand, bathroom with shower/tub combo, and sitting chair. There were ice and vending machines in the hall way. Overall the rooms were nice, about what I would expect for a Holiday Inn. The beds were actually really comfortable.

Internet:
Free wifi is available, we found it fast and easy to connect to. The front desk will give you a code that you will need.

I wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review about our property. You are correct, we recently underwent a nearly 4 million dollar renovation to our property that included everything from the meeting space, lobby, restaurant, lounge, and guest rooms and even the brand new beds! I am thrilled to hear you found them to be so comfortable!

It sounds as though you were able to take advantage of all that we have to offer within walking distance to the hotel such as the Starbucks, movie theater and variety of restaurants but if you only saw them in passing then perhaps the next time you stay here you might have the time to stop in and enjoy all they have to offer. Our complimentary shuttle would be happy to take you and pick you up once you are done.

Thank you again for your kind and personal words, we look very forward to your next visit!

“Nice Place - Good Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

We needed a good location to stay for a 5 day visit to the DC area. This hotel was recommended by a family member. The room was very nice and clean. Each day the room was cleaned fresh as new. Breakfast was good both for the buffet and made to order. Only trick was to ask for toast or english muffin; they are not on the buffet but made fresh for each guest. Location was excellent since it was across the street from the Eisenhower Yellow line Metro stop. We also went one stop north to King Street and got the free trolley to Old Alexandria which was a good deal.
Others here have mentioned poor sleeping due to highway noise. True, it is next to the freeway, but we had no problem, perhaps because we were on the 7th floor. We also stopped in the bar for drinks on a Saturday before dinner. The bartender even changed the TV so we could watch our favorite football team play. Drinks were good and also cheap.

Room Tip: We did not eat dinner at the hotel so cannot comment on quality.

You did discover our 'freshness' trick with the bread at breakfast, it's true! We do prefer to make the toast or english muffins fresh upon request in order to ensure that they are warm and ready to eat upon ordering for each guest rather than stale and hard on the buffet and we are glad that you have shared this tip with other potential guests!

The free trolley from the King Street station is another wonderful little secret right in our historic neighborhood and our complimentary shuttle can take you directly there rather than having to transfer on the metro as well the next time you come to visit. Thank you for sharing your experiences with others and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
