This is a great location for easy access to DC. Make sure you book with parking included, otherwise they tack on $18 which I was not aware of the first time I stayed there in January. The metro is a few minutes away. The nightly manager special includes free drinks - that's right, free drinks! The restaurant is adequate if you want to eat there. The breakfast buffet is nice as well with made to order omelets; better than the usual continental fare. The suite was very comfortable and clean, however wifi is not included in the price.

Very nice hotel. Excellent cooked to order breakfast. Nice manager's reception every evening. About a 4 block walk to the Crystal City metro station. 10 min. drive to Arlington National Cemetery.
I should note that I spoke to reception one evening because I saw I had been left 2 decafs for the in-room coffeemaker. They were at my door in about 10 min. with 3 packages of regular.
As other TA'ers have noted, this property is very popular with families on the weekends, and the pool is wall to wall kids. The pool clears out almost completely on Sunday night.

If you are visiting DC with a family - not a bad choice. Room was clean, hotel staff helpful, affrodable.

Location (via car or subway) was a plus as well.

Negatives - Pool was not clean and security staff could not handle kids in hallways after 10pm.

Positives - Free breakfast and snacks very good. High security parking was a plus.

I frequently travel to the area and decided to try this property.
I arrived fairly late in the evening, check-in was smooth, no issues. Checked into my room, typical two bedroom suite. Decor was a little outdated, but room was very clean.
My Diamond VIP welcome gift was already in the room.

I ate dinner at the restaurant. Food was reaonably priced and surprisingly very good. Wait staff were very pleasant. I have no complaints about any of the wait/bar staff. All were extrememly friendly.
Gym was a little small, but had a variety of equipment and weights. Gym overlooks the indoor pool. Cario equipment has TV's which is always a nice distraction.

Complimentary breakfast and evening reception were very good. No complaints.

Unfortunatally, one of the hotle shuttle drivers was very hostile to me not once, but two times. On one occassion, it was very upsetting. I immediatally reported both incidents to the front desk. I was brushed off, offered no apology what so ever. I'm not one to throw my Hilton status around, because it shouldn't matter, but even bringing this to their attention made no impact what so ever. I spoke to the evening manager, before I even got to tell her what happened on the second occasion with the driver, she stated that she already spoke to another guest in the shuttle who stays with them all the time. Her tone was very harsh and made me feel that she wasn't interested in hearing my version of the story.
I am loyal to Hilton, but I will not stay at this property again becuase the poor customer service of management.

If your looking for a good value, close to National Airport, this is not a bad property. It's not very close to a Metro, it's a fairly long walk, or you can have the hotel shuttle take you to Pentagon City Metro.

Average Stay for Embassy Suites.
