Capital Hilton

Easy check in. We were greeted by a nice gentleman who handled everything quickly.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Capital Hilton. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. Roberto at the check-in desk was absolutely the best!

Dislikes: Posted earlier about in room coffee machine--did not use as there were black and brown flecks that consistently appeared with every cup of hot water; machine definitely should be replaced or rinsed with vinegar or diluted bleach solution; who knows what was in there. My room faced a major street with traffic noise and sirens 24/7. Bring ear plugs. The bathroom space is tight, but will do for use for 1 person at a time, if traveling with others. Likes: There is a coffee stand in lobby, "The Grind" where one can also buy pastries, drinks, and snacks. It closes mid-afternoon, so if one desires coffee in the afternoon, no luck here. There is a gift shop across the way with snacks, drinks, ice cream, and sundries. The property is older, as one can see from the display near the elevators about the Hilton's role in historical events. Room was spacious, clean, no odors, carpet stains. The housekeeping staff on my floor (9th floor) were fabulous and pleasant. Although I did not require housekeeping services every day, I was able to get extra supplies as I needed them; good climate control to regulate to one's comfort; water in shower heats up fast; in-room refrig was convenient. (no in room microwave). Hotel is near the White House and within walking distance to many of the national monuments and Smithsonian museums. Taxis are readily available in front of the hotel. If you forgot to pack anything, a drugstore is next door.
