Washington Hilton

Decent place to stay if you need to be in the heart of DC. Location at DuPont Circle is great- lots to do & nice restaurants. Prices compared to other DC Hilton’s was much lower for the weekend. But the hotel needs refurbishing - Carpets / corridors on the guest floor, and the rooms feel worn out. Lobby was strange - as soon as you enter, you see a massive Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf right in front, but the reception is tucked away on the far left ... we had to look for it. Hotel has 1000+ rooms and our room (which was decent) was a long walk away from the elevator. Health club was at the far end past the conference rooms on Level T ... also a long walk, and we saw people shivering on their way back from the pool making the long walk to the elevator. Gym was nice for a hotel gym (though a long walk from the room). And Executive Lounge staff was quite good. Checkin was fast, but checkout was miserably slow because they only had 2 people even though it was prime time (~1pm). Parking attendant took ~20 minutes to get our car. Overall a 3 star experience - a little by of spiffing up of guest floors / rooms, and improvement in front desk / bell parking attendant service would make it a five star especially for the price ($130/night in the heart of the city).

I've stayed multiple times for business. Great for that. Conference was at the hotel on the lower levels. The room I had last time was so small you could touch the bed and each wall around it at the same time.
