Switcheroo
Have stayed here many times in the past and always been in great service. But this time the room that I chose online, I did not get when I got there and was not able to switch rooms to the room. I chose online and no one followed up with me to see about switching rooms later the next day. That was disappointing cause usually my day is great here overall very clean and nice hotel but this trip was not as good as the last couple trips very disappointing.

The rooms were very nice. I am a Hilton Honors member, however I will be back to THIS Hilton. I will be back because of my experience with the staff. From the moment I arrived, the concierge, the desk clerk that checked me in, the gift shop attendant and especially the ladies that were responsible for making sure my room was cleaned. Additionally, there was a fire alarm, before I got there I sprained my ankle, had difficulty walking, and a staff member assisted me because I had to walk down 5 flights of stairs. But this employee helped me back in the building and made sure I was okay. There is a special place in heaven for this man.

Not what we expected
As has happened to us with increasing frequency when we use Hotels.com, we thought we had booked a room that was a true suite, with separate rooms for the parents and for our 9-year-old son. But the room we were originally shown at check-in was just one continuous room that did not even have a sleeper sofa. The hotel did its best to accommodate us under the circumstances and showed us other similar rooms - we eventually got one with a fold-out sofa that our son could sleep on, but it was not the suite we believed we were getting.

Perfect location in easy walking distance to the White House, great restaurants, and two Metro stations - one with a direct line to Reagan International Airport. Although it is one of Washington's older hotels (it was originally the Statler Hotel and was finished during World War II), it has modern conveniences while retaining some of the interior architectural charm. We enjoyed our breakfast each morning in the North Gate Grill.
