The Hilton was very clean and comfortable. It was within walking distance to the major museums in the area (12-15 mins). There’s a Starbucks in the hotel which is convenient if you need caffeine in the morning. The website said the pool is heated but it was very cold when we went in June.
Large comfortable beds.
Plenty of storage!
Clean!
Pool view from our room on the 12th floor.

My only gripe would be the room cleanliness. There were fingernail clippings on the floor and the edges of the floor had a layer of dirt and dust around everything. Was obvious they don’t have a swiffer or mop on the cleaning regimen. Also, the front desk hung up on my 14 year old twice when they called to ask if the pool was open. (It was previously closed due to cloudy weather)

I was not given a King Deluxe King as promised. I had to ask for it once I found I had a twin room. They then gave me a King Room but it did not have the pool view as promised. I was there for work so the view was not a big deal. But if I was on vacation it would have mattered

Perfect location to enjoy the Mall, the Wharf and museums in D.C. Also, a small mall with many eateries and the Metro are connected making accessible reasonably priced meals and travel throughout the city. The Metro stop at Arlington was perfect. The hotel was clean and the service was impeccable. 5 star hotel and a 5 star trip to our Capitol.
