It was not your typical Hilton. More of an upgraded Holiday Inn. It was clean, but dated. Very limited dining. But the employees were VERY accommodating. They bent over backwards to try to make you welcome.

Great experience except breakfast!

Overall great hotel. The breakfast was awful in terms of the quality of the food and they charge for it. We have gotten better quality breakfasts for free in other hotels like Wyndham. I would avoid their breakfasts and eat out. It’s not convenient but it will taste better and be healthier.

This was a great area to stay for our DC trip. Was close to the Metro so we could just ride right into the city. There was some great food stops in the area. Tatte was great for breakfast as the hotel breakfast was mediocre. Hotel was clean which is our main feature when booking. Would stay again. Staff was quite friendly

This is a very convenient hotel in terms of location right downtown in Bethesda, and it was basically clean. The lobby is not very attractive and the bed, while comfortable, had weird and skimpy bedding. Staff were efficient but not very personable. Altogether, convenient and serviceable, but not special.
