Pros: New, clean, beautifully designed building. Well appointed room and nice view. The staff were all super helpful. The restaurant was surprisingly good. Not a huge selection of food but just enough to settle a weary traveler.
Cons: I did wish the staff had mentioned that Praline the bakery on the first floor was so amazing! The Macarons are delicious!! I discovered it the day I left.

Pros: The hotel met the Hilton services as expected. Everything is new and clean. Location is great; beautiful wharf and relatively close walking distance to The Mall and various memorial.
Cons: The server service and boo selections at the restaurant / bar in the lobby level could be better; as in more promptly. Other than that, it was a pleasant experience for the price of $200+ per night price.

Pros: Check in was easy with friendly front desk staff. Breakfast is $15. Great location in capitol hill.
Cons: The free WiFi didn't work on multiple devices. Construction starts at 7am on the ground floor and the 7th floor daily. It's loud and vibrates the room. Not a quite hotel. Upgrades look like they will be nice in a few months.

Pros: Friendly staff at the desk and housecleaning. Clean rooms and building. I didn't get the breakfast buffet but it looked delicious and had a lot of options. Lobby bar was nice but short staffed. Bartender was funny and knowledgable of the area.
Cons: I felt fine walking around the neighborhood. My boyfriend felt it was a little run down. Staff told me it's an "up and coming" neighborhood. I live in a city so I'm always very aware of my surroundings when walking on the street. I would recommend this to everyone, no matter the location. If looking for a restaurant, you would have to either eat at the hotel or go to a different neighborhood. Staff was friendly but checking in was slow. I think someone new was working the desk but still, very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Staff was excellent--they were extremely knowledgeable, and went out of their way to be helpful.
Cons: This place is not very clean. The room I was in didn't appear to have been vacuumed, and the linens weren't very clean. The entire hotel looks kind of dingy and run-down--it doesn't seem like the hallways or main lobby area are cleaned regularly.....

Pros: The rooms were spacious.

Okay
5.1
Pros: The room was clean, staff was courteous , but not very familiar with the area or directions to various shopping centers and restaurants
Cons: I did not like paying for parking, as a guest parking should be free. Also I paid Cash for parking and my credit card was still charged for a partial parking fee, which I was told will be refunded back to my account. For the price of the room there were no microwave or refrigerator in the room. The only ice machine was down on the basement floor.
Good
7.7
Pros: Very friendly staff Great location if you are staying for a nationals game not sure about the distance of other attractions in the city. We stayed one night for the game than left. Comfortable bed Quick and easy check in and out Aside from parking it was absolutely wonderful. Anyone who calls the neighborhood the projects clearly has no idea what the projects truly are. We walked back to the hotel from the bar around 2am and not a single person was out. So I am not sure how that assumption came about. Maybe because the surrounding area is under construction. In not sure. This is by no means a Ritz Carlton so don't expect the extras. This is a place to sleep for the night and they served their purpose well.
Cons: The parking was not very good. Every Saturday and Sunday they have a pool party which is great except the people who go take up all the space for the actual hotel guests. It also did not help that they let people park there for the nationals game. The man in charge of the parking was clearly overwhelmed and we wound up waiting about 20 minutes before he figured out what to do and where we should park. My suggestion for future guests get there as early as possible for a parking spot. The rooms were a little outdated but they were clean.
Excellent
9.1
Pros: I liked that it was walking distance from alot of destinations of interest. The staff was very helpful. It was a good price and good value for the money.
Cons: There was a problem with the lighting in our room that never got fixed while we were there. And it was a little loud on weekends because they have parties at the pool with out side guests. They did have limited parking and it did cost to park.

8.6
Pros: The hotel is old, but has been renovated well recently. Nothing over the top, but well done with clean land comfortable rooms. The staff, from housekeeping to managers, were all professional and welcoming. The pool was fantastic, and the secure parking was something that made the stay even more relaxing. Able to walk 1 mile to great local restaurants and bars, with the nationals ball park down the road too. Within 1 mile, we were at the department of education, and only a few more blocks to the national mall. Great Great location for the price. Also, may have been the best wi-fi at a hotel I've ever had. Full service, and fast everywhere in the hotel.
Cons: The breakfast buffet was ok. Nothing great, but for DC prices, it was ok. No coffee in room...There's a McDonalds across the street, and the coffee at breakfast was good, but figured there'd be coffee makers in the room.
Okay

Cons: Our reservation was not honored. We were told conflicting information between the hotel, kayak, and a 3rd party, amoma. Long story short, the hotel said we did not have a reservation (which we did and had pre-paid) and did not let us stay there.
Good
6.3
Cons: The beds were more like hammocks. The interior is a bit dated and the upholstery could use some cleaning. There were no bugs or mold though and the maid staff did a good job. The food is mediocre at best and the bar poorly stocked. We were there for a conference though so we didn't (fortunately) spend much time in the hotel.
Mediocre

Pros: Nothing good to say
Cons: They canceled us (3 rooms booked) at some point late afternoon, day of our stay, moved us in bookings to an inadequate alternate location, and claimed they had tried to reach out to us to let us know. It is the week after and still no one form of communication from Capital Skyline or Kayak or other. Meanwhile we watched as they checked people in while we sat there in disbelief. Missed dinner reservation. Asked to be canceled from the chosen alternate and refunded, when they could not provide something comparable. Still, no refund. Terrible location to boot.
