There are some seedy characters hanging out on the outside areas smoking weed, and in our room the air conditioner sounded like it was gonna blow up. It was so loud. The front desk staff could also be a little bit friendlier as everyone has to walk by them to go to the elevators.

Terrible decision hotel

This was the worst hotel stay my family and I have ever experienced. We chose it based on reviews and its downtown DC location, but it was a complete disappointment. The hotel claimed the pool closed at 10 PM, yet it shut down at 8. Photos showed modern walk-in showers, but our room had an old, outdated tub. The entire room felt worn, dirty, dated, and absolutely not worth $239 a night. Breakfast was terrible and certainly not worth $25. This property should be rated 1 star, not what it advertises. It did not meet our standards or expectations. I am requesting a full refund—not hotel points.

The property was absolutely filthy and the staff were extremely rude. We checked in and the only person attending the desk was a security guard watching a show on his phone and "too busy" to help us. Once we finally checked in we got to the elevators which were both dirty and falling apart. Once we finally got to our room, we opened it to be greated with an extremely disgusting room. Cobwebs in every corner, candy wrappers and garbage from previous guests, dirt and dust covered floors that appear to not have been vaccumed for weeks and a bath tub full of previous guests hair. On top of a dirty room all of the hours of ammenities like the pool were changed from the times posted on the website. If you want to use the pool or gym at this location you might as well assume it's just closed. To top it all off the staff were extremely rude. The valet was a nightmare and tried to double charge me, the front desk was full of people wo looked like they dreaded their jobs, were trying anything to not talk to guests and the overall mood was horrible. This hotel was one of the worst I've ever stayed at. Stay far away from this one and go to a different location, this Hilton was disgusting, dreary and a completely terrible experience for an otherwise enjoyable vacation spot.

The property was very clean. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The one complaint I have, which I am not sure is even within their control is the valet parking situation. When I am paying $55 a night for valet parking, a fee I will gladly pay for the convenience, I don’t expect to have to circle the block for 20 minutes to get into their valet stand or wait for 30 minutes in the lobby for their valet driver to reappear. I will say the desk managers both on days and nights were apologetic and seemed to understand my frustration this did not give me the time back I wasted trying to utilize this service. One thing that truly confused me is why the security guard who sits inside the door all night scrolling on their cellphone is not occasionally going outside to keep the DoorDashers and neighborhood residents from parking in the valet stand is beyond me. While I felt very safe and comfortable in this property, the valet situation may have been inconvenient enough that I would consider staying elsewhere next time.
