“Wow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2012

Our first time coming to the DC area. We saw the good reviews on this hotel, and were glad we decided to stay there. We travel a bit, have stayed in a LOT of hotels, but were especially pleased with this one. Other than the things mentioned by the other reviewers (close to metro, etc) I would also like to mention how great the staff was. Every morning as we left the gentlemen at the door sent us off with a smile and every evening when we came back we were greeted with a warm and genuine "Welcome Back". The staff was also great the few times we needed a local ride--on the first night in the rain to get some food at the grocery (VERY CLOSE AND CONVENIENT), and to the metro. The cleaning staff is also excellent, and we agreed that this is one of the cleanest places we've stayed in.

The fact that it was an extended stay meant that there was extra cabinet space in the bathroom which was nice since we stayed the week. You can also keep snacks in the fridge and cabinets in the kitchen which is nice.

I want to say a word about dinner (served Monday-Thursday from 5-7) since the website calls it a "light dinner" and the hazy descriptions of other reviews left us wondering if we should stock our fridge with more food when we got there so we wouldn't go to bed hungry at night. The dinner served was PLENTY! Examples of some of the meals served: Hot dogs with 3 alarm chili and chips, Stuffed peppers with potato wedges and chicken gumbo, meatballs with marinara and clam chowder, Cajun chicken with rice and vegetable medley.... Basically, some kind of main entree, another side or two, and usually some sort of bread, and soup. You will also be offered sodas, lemonade, and salad with some of the usual toppings. It was GREAT to come right in from running around DC all day and sit right down to eat and crash! I feel that alone makes this place great for families and makes this hotel a head above the rest.

We were on the 14th floor and I don't know if that was the only reason, but we agreed that it was nice and quiet in there considering how busy the area is.

One downside was the slow internet. They said they are working on the problem so it may not be an issue by the time you get there! This was not a big deal for us since we don't go on vacations to sit at the computer, but it did take us a little longer the times we needed to use the internet to print out tickets to events and our boarding passes. Still, this was not enough to bother us.

The other thing is that the AC blew right in the direction of our bed. I don't like to be hot but I don't like it blowing right on me either (makes me cold+sinus trouble). I had my husband (who LOVES to have it blowing on him) sleep on the side by the unit. Still, I could feel it and wished it could have been directed upwards or something.

Despite these things, we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else on a return trip.

Room Tip: Ask for our room! 1410 :)

“Wonderful option”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

We were in DC for the birth of our grandson and needed a spot to stay for 10 days. Found reviews of the Homewood Suites (about 2 miles from our daughter) and decided to try it. The location could not be better, the price was extremely reasonable, but the full breakfast and dinner 4 nights a week were outstanding. Very nice people and very clean rooms. If you are in DC consider this as a first option.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012

After many years with Hilton Honors, this was my first experience with a Homewood Suites and I am now a huge fan! I loved almost everything about this hotel - from the helpful, friendly Valets to the delicious breakfasts and dinners, to our nice room - which though not very big was big enough and well appointed with everything needed for a week's business stay. The metro (red line) is just 5 minutes walk away. So the two very minor things that I didn't love - 1) the small pool which was crowded with kids and as much as the lifeguard tried to encourage them to stay in one area so others could swim, it wasn't very successful. Not her fault, she really tried! 2) The AC in our room worked fine but the room didn't stay cool very long after it shut off. We found that having the fan over the bed also going at the same time helped keep the air mixed and comfortable in the room. Again, two very minor complaints on a stellar week long stay! Would absolutely return to this hotel and also try another Homewood Suites in a heartbeat.

Room Tip: You always get a better view from a higher floor - 14 or 13 floors in this hotel.

“A Welcome Relief After House Fire”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012

While visiting my daughter's house in Takoma Park, MD, we had a fire. The Bosch dishwasher panel caught fire and considerable damage was done to the house. Her insurance company, USAA, arranged for 3 of us to stay here while the fire damage is being ameliorated. We were pleasantly surprised. The king suite is clean and comfortable. The king size bed is extremely comfortable and even the sofa bed isn't bad. The kitchen is well equipped also. Breakfasts are sumptuous. Today the spread included pancakes, eggs with steak cubes, potatoes, fresh fruit and juices as well as an assortment of bagels, breads, muffins and juices. Dinner is provided Monday thru Thursday nights and has been tasty. Dinner menus are posted for the entire month. An excellent Perk is the free shopping. As long as the bill is at least $10, an employee will do your shopping and deliver the groceries to your room. The only downers is the price of parking. It's great to have a valet bring your car to the door, but $12 a day seems a bit steep. If you stay here be sure to go to Whole Foods....one of the nicest stores ever.

Room Tip: We stayed on the top...14th floor. Very quiet and decent view.

“Excellent location, awesome staff, but watch out for the air conditioner”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 3, 2012

The hotel was exactly what we were looking for in a family vacation to the DC area. It was just a few blocks walk to the Metro station so the free shuttle that they offered wasn't even necessary. The hotel was clean and the staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The breakfast in the mornings were amply stocked no matter how early or late you came down and the pool was luxurious with a life guard who could not have been nicer. The valet parking was efficient and if you called ahead, your car was waiting for you. The rooms were fine though a bit tight with the pull out sofa and a cot. But we did utilize the well equipped kitchen accessories. The only issue we had was that the air conditioner was located directly next to the bed and so it blew a cold draft on us the entire night. The noise when the thermostat kicked in was loud and the blowing was unpleasant. The layout of the room was poor. Other than that, we were very happy with the hotel.

Room Tip: look at the layout of the particular room to make sure your bed is not on top of the air conditioner...
