We were really disappointed with our weekend at the Washington Hilton. When we got up Saturday morning we were hoping to take care of a quick work-related issue, only to be informed that the business center would not be open. Later in the day, we were hoping to relax a little by the pool, only to find out it was under construction. Dealing with the concierge felt more like asking a favor, and it took some effort for her to be convinced to help us coordinate transportation back to the airport. The whole place had a very dated feel and to be honest, I was surprised it was a Hilton. Usually that name is synonymous with some measure of quality, but this was unfortunately not the case. Overall, we were far from impressed.

Great comfy beds & convenient to Metro stations. Please tell future visitors that parking is $28 per night! Comfortable rooms & excellent service staff. They were helpful when I had issues & went out of their way to be friendly.

	Date of Stay: April, 2009
Great location. Hotel currenlty in middle of a $140 million refurb, so a bit noisy and no pool. Great services though a little costly (wifi $12.95 for 24 hours) Great location for tourism. (on site seeing bus route)

	Date of Stay: April, 2009
Bedbugs, broken ice machines on multiple floors, dirty cutlery in restaurant (twice), construction noise started at 7 or 8 am three out of five mornings, much earlier than the promised 9 am.

	Date of Stay: April, 2008
I enjoyed the Hilton. The parking and the food were too expensive. Service was very good. Rooms need a little sprucing up.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
Close to metro. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Very nice: clean, richly furnished, well lit, andquiet. Difficult to find parking.

The hotel was ok, customer service left something to be desired. No one could answer any questions about the area. There must have been a towel shortage, we were shorted towels and I heard other guests wondering what happen to towels and washcloths. The room was decent, not filthy not sparkling clean either. The rate we got was worth it for the stay, I would not pay more than $* for a room in this hotel. Not impressed at all with the places to eat in the hotel or around the hotel.

Well, i first must say that this was my first trip to Vegas and my first time staying at a Bally's hotel. We booked for three nights to celebrate Valentine's Day, arrival Wed-departure Sat. The room was very nice, junior suite, view of the Eiffel tower of the Paris Hotel, once we entered the room, we were pleased with how expansive and wonderful the suite was. The soak in tub was very nice, and i loved the double vanity for my husband. I was loving it. Until the morning of Friday, 2/15 i woke up with bites on my wrists and one on my eye lid. I found it strange, i was itchy all day, and honestly thought it may have been mosquitos. Then on Saturday morning 2/16 i was awakened by a sharp pain on my forearm, and began to scratch. I turned on the lights, found a big welt on my arm, looked on the bed, and there was a bed bug! i immediately called housekeeping and front desk.20 minutes later, Housekeeping arrived, and took the bug away after i took pictures of the bug and my bites. Prior to She tried to persuade me to not report to make an incident report to security, She insisted that she cleaned the room well and changed the sheets everyday. I still wanted to write formal complaint and while i had security in my room giving the written report to him, my husband finds another bed bug on his side of the bed. I took second bug downstairs to the hotel manager.(mind you, this is now a full hour and a half taken away from my vacation) All staff was gracious, genuinely concerned and apologized, What a terrible ending to a beautiful stay at the Ballys...

Hotel is a bit old, so room & bath were a little "frayed at the edges" but very clean and comfortable anyway. Biggest disappointment was no pool, contrary to hotel description. A new wing and pool were under construction right outside our window where the old pool used to be. No construction noise over the weekend, but on Monday morning the noise started pretty early.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

Friendly, helpful staff, great, clean rooms, fantastic location in Dupont Circle. Rooms may be a bit small for a family but fine for me. This hotel is very nice, with a helpful, friendly staff, located in a great, bustling and diverse area known as Dupont Circle. It is a mix of students, professional, and tourists. The Metro is close (4-5 blocks) and there are many restaraunts, other eclectic shops, bars, and clubs. Good for single people looking to party or for families. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Date of Stay: April, 2009

I learned that if the room reservation has been pre-paid, then one cannot charge bar or restaurant service to the room. The credit card computer system at the cocktail lounge broke down, and they had to resort to the old-fashioned system, causing delay and inconvenience to the customers. The room was adequate; but (like most U.S. hotels) it did not have a mini-fridge. Not even a mini-bar. The front desk was courteous and helpful. We had to park our own car, and it was hard even to find a parking place. The location can't be beat.

Date of Stay: September, 2007

I love the fact that it was pet friendly, but the bar staff was extremely rude. The rooms all come with complimentary Poland spring, but to get the refills, i was told to go to the bar. I go to the bar and the staff COMPLETELY freaks out like they've never seen a dog before and they kick me out without even giving me any water. Even after i offered to stand outside the bar to have somebody bring me water, they refused. However, the room service brought it up to me immediately (and i do mean immediately) after i complained. The rooms were small and the hallways are really really really LONG. The hotel staff was very friendly and the maids were always friendly saying "hi" and petting my dog. Also, the food is VERY VERY overpriced. * for a slice, ONE slice of toast. However, it's located close to the zoo and many tour buses stop literally right outside the hotel, so that was very convenient. The elevators are terribly designed as only two elevators in the WHOLE hotel goes to the parking garage underneath. Poorly designed on their part. Lastly, there was one bed bug, but it was only on the morning we were leaving.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
It's a great location, right by Dupont Circle, with tons of restaurants, shopping, and easy Metro access. I'm a very light sleeper, and usually don't get much sleep in hotels, but the room was very quiet and restful. The only drawback is that the fitness center and pool were closed for renovations, but we knew that ahead of time. We hope to stay there again!

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Most of the staff was very nice. From the metro it was not a convenient walk.

Date of Stay: April, 2009

The hotel was alright if you just plan on sleeping there at night. The TV in our room had blown out speakers and there was a major renovation underway. The only thing that really irritated me is that THERE IS NO PARKING... PARKING IN THE AFFILIATED GARAGE IS 23$ A DAY!!!! That pissed me off more than anything else. It was very close to the Metro which was a saving grace. The staff were really friendly in helping me out with info on how to navigate DC. Like the title says... If my wife and I were there to lounge in the hotel room, it would have been horrible... But since we just slept there, it was not bad, but far from good.

Date of Stay: August, 2007

We enjoyed our stay. Room was small and simple (no fridge, no microwave...) but was a TREMENDOUS VALUE (* per night!) for the location. The only problem: we ran across a half eaten chocolate bar behind the chair and someone's crock (shoe) under the bed and the room smelled like it had formerly been a smoking room (as long as we kept the AC fan on the smell was not bad). Be careful of the hotel's distance to things--I think some things (zoo, subway station) are farther than they say.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
We were visiting to spend the July 4th weekend and knew it would be better to use the metro than drive due to detours and restricted parking in the city. The hotel was located near the Dupoint Metro and had a lot of good restaurants. The staff were very helpful too

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Under construction, had to move rooms, expensive parking.

Date of Stay: March, 2009

We chose to stay here because it was supposed to be 0.5 miles from the zoo, it is not. It is 1.6 miles from the Hilton to the Zoo entrance. The second reason we chose to stay here is that it has a fitness center. We are fitness buffs and this is important to us. The fittness center is open from 7AM-8PM on sat and sunday. This is exactly the hours we where out on the town for buisness. The two main expectations we had where not met. Usually we stay at a more economocal place in Alexanderia for about $150 less what this place cost, and we would have got the same service. The metro ride from Alexanderia is about the same time it takes to walk to the zoo from the Hilton, and if the fitness center is not open when I need I really do not need one. The room was clean but small, smaller then much cheaper rooms at other 'economy' places. All in all the location is not too bad but for the money I will never stay here again.
