Our stay at this Holiday Inn far exceeded our expectations largely due to Ricky the concierge that helped with choosing sights, tours, transportation, and restaurants. His cheerful, professional guidance was invaluable for our six days of touring WA DC for our 45th wedding anniversary. Buffet breakfasts were delicious! Being close to National Mall was very helpful.

Loved the location. Convenient to DC Mall and museums. The Metro was around the corner, so our trip from Reagan was fast. The concierge was terrific. She arranged our night tour with a hotel pickup. The restaurant was pricey, so only ate there once, but it was great. Other options were close, i. e. Starbucks and McDonalds. The hotel was nice, clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

Breakfast had a good selection and was worth pre-purchase plan for breakfast before heading out for the day. The staff was Great. Amendment 21 restaurant was good. Rooms could use a refreshing as curtains had frayed bottom hems and several outlets are loose and sloppy connections. Very clean and suited our needs for rest each night after long exhausting days out on the town. Love the location near transportation hub and national mall.
