The only draw back was the homeless people on the street. The condo biulding across the street had private armed police around the biulding. This is not the Hiltons fault but it is a reality. I come from New York city so I understand it is a failure of the current administration

I liked the proximity to tourist attractions like the African American History Museum & the white house. Both were less than a 10 minute scooter ride away. There was a Chipotle and a Walgreens just 5 steps from the entrance! It’s also right by an arch for Chinatown which makes for some cool photos!

The main problem we had with the stay was that the breakfast place connected to the hotel wasn't open for food at 830am on a Saturday. So we couldn't get breakfast in the morning. Very disappointing. As well as no Ice Machine readily available. We did like the room. Very clean. Staff was very friendly.

We paid for and reserved a queen room months before our stay. Upon checking in, staff informed us the hotel gave away our room because they had too many Diamond members come and could only put us in a significantly different bunkbed room. Instead of refunding the $100 difference in cost, the manager only authorized staff giving a $72 credit to their restaurant. Upon seeing that room was the size of a walk-in closet with a child's bunkbed and not even receiving our voucher by text, we asked to cancel and get a refund as the hotel couldn't honor our paid reservation. A different receptionist said they couldn't since we booked the advance rate through Expedia and we'd need to call them but they'd see what they could do. This staff person fortunately found us the queen room we reserved and put us in there, noting management would be upset. We appreciated their assistance and stayed in the room we had reserved, which was as pictured and expected for a micro hotel. We don't blame any of the staff for this experience, but management here is horrible given they were unwilling to honor a paid reservation made months in advance, never offered a refund, never sent us the food voucher, never contacted us before check-in to inform us they couldn't honor our reservation, and tried to put us in an unacceptably different room for the same cost- not just a little different, one was sized for adults and one was for kids where you couldn't even sit up on bed or have space for a suitcase. Beware

My wife and I had a wonderful time! The location was awesome. The staff was SUPER HELPFUL. I'm sorry, but I lost the list of names to thank. Something that might not seem special, but was: My wife immigrated to the US in 2016 and earned her citizenship during the Covid pandemic. This was her first time in Washington DC and the staff had put her name on the television screen on our second day. She was ecstatic!
