"Eric was very kind to let us check in a little early when we arrived sooner than we had expected. Was very quick to respond and had some very good information for us on things to do, etc. Location is fantastic. Super close to the metro and some good dining close by. We always felt safe, even at night. WiFi was a little spotty, made streaming a movie a little difficult with the buffering. King size bed is a plus, but the space is a little tight for it. Loved that we could do our laundry so we...

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was good. The room was very clean. Staff were very friendly. I appreciate the fact the valet parking did not sit and wait for a tip considering the parking was $75. Of course we tipped but it wasn’t like some other properties where they hold your keys hostage until they see you are tipping. I loved how close it was to the capital and all the museums which we walked to and did not need the car. The view from our room was great and we really had a great time. The room is very big and we had plenty of of room."
