This is a great location and the staff makes it even better. They take the time to help, to acknowledge you every moment they can and are very helpful. The shuttle service is exceptional as they make it easy to get around and are very polite. Great place.

I had to make last minute arrangements to be in DC. I really liked this hotel. It was close enough to restaurants, mall and the metro. There is a street of restaurants just a short walk away or the hotel shuttle will also take you there. The staff was great. The room was great! The food was as expected for hotel food--and the restaurant service was just ok (but don't let that dissuade you...it was still pretty good!). Overall, was very pleased and would definitely stay here again.

Booked two rooms at the Embassy Suites over a weekend. DC has a lot of hotel options at reasonable rates on the weekends, but we chose to stay here for the convenient location, two room suite, and free manager's reception and breakfast, and of course the pool. It appears that the hotel has been tastefully renovated. There are nice touches in the rooms and all common areas. The shuttle for the Metro and Pentagon City Mall leaves every half hour-very easy drop off and pickup. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the Mall and Metro if you choose to walk. It is Ok to walk during the warmer months but not during the winter. The two room suites are a good size. The pull out sofa bed maybe OK for a kid for a night or two, but not for an adult. Microwave, and fridge are also standard in each room, as well as a table for eating dinner. Plenty of space for a small group to mingle. There is a free buffet breakfast in the morning. Make sure you wait the extra couple of minutes for one of the cooked to order omelets. The omelet was cooked to perfection. At the end of a long day it was nice to grab a drink and a snack at the manager's reception. I'd probably give the hotel a 4, but we had some crowding issues at the pool, which can put a damper on things if you have kids and are delaying in getting in the pool. Use your AAA rate for the best deal. Make sure you get the rate with the parking included, otherwise it is $24.95 a day. Also, stay on the side of the hotel opposite the road and the airport. It got a little noisy in the bedroom. If you are in a pinch for a meal, each at the Pentagon City Mall or ask the hotel for a shuttle over to the Harris Teeter. We had lunch at the Crystal Grill. It was good, but very overpriced. Wifi was not free. Enjoy!

I used to travel to DC regularly on business, and after my first stay here, always stayed here. It has everything I wanted; the rooms were always immaculate, the location near the Metro and mall is terrific, the food is good. I often arrived late in the evening and the staff were always kind to a weary traveller!

There always seemed to be a mix of people staying here whenever I visited - people on business, families, holidayers - and I would think that the hotel is ideal for all of those groups. I would certainly recommend this hotel and will doubtless be staying there as and when I'm next in Washington.
