“Enjoyed my stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

Great hotel with really friendly and efficient staff. Just steps away from the metro station, the mall, and lots of shops and restaurants. Rooms are nice: comfortable beds, big tv, nice bathroom, and clean. The only thing that is keeping me from giving this place 5 stars, is that the hotel does not offer free wi-fi/internet service inside the room. Unless you are a Hilton diamond or higher member, you have to pay $10.95 per day to access the internet. This was a really annoying as I had a lot of work to do in my room; I really did not think the fee was necessary considering the high cost of the room per night. Although there are two computers and internet in the lobby, I prefer working in my room especially in to the late hours.

“Good value, great location, bit dated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Great location (near the metro and between the airport and DC) - plenty of eats/drinks within walking distance but no ones seemed to like walking. This is America remember - the hotel offer my wife and I are shuttle service to the metro - it was 5 minutes walk.

Breakfast was ok but not included in the room deal, you'd be better going elsewhere. Room smelled and looked a little dated.

For the price, not a bad stay but it's more in the budget range (I bet older people love it, it just has that feel).

“Consistently Pleased”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

I've now stayed at this particular Holiday Inn on 3 different occasions (all work related). Staff have always been friendly and helpful, and the building and rooms are always clean. While the bedroom walls are a little thin, allowing some sound to travel through, the very comfortable beds and self-serving coffee machines in the morning make up for it. I always sleep well here.

“Great employees”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Traveled with my daughter to drop her off at Marymount University from California. From the moment we arrived the staff exceeded our expectations. So friendly and genuinely caring and kind people, esp. Bartender Roberto.

“Great location and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

I was greeted with eager and smiling faces. I had all of my questions answered before I had an opportunity to ask. Cori or Kori made me feel right at home. The room was nice and clean. The location was great to the Metro. I also use the shuttle service which was quick and easy. At check out Kirstyn was just as helpful and nice. Looking forward to coming back.
