Capitol Hill Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay! All staff were pleasant and helpful. Even when my husband needed a bandaid, the lady at the front desk graciously provided a few. The lobby often has an employee open the door for you as you enter and exit. We enjoyed the cucumber mint water in the lobby along with very hot coffee. Be careful...it is extremely hot! 😃 Our room was clean and comfortable. I appreciate how cozy the room was even offering a bath robe to wear. That is something that isn't available at many places these days. Breakfast was always yummy and the staff working Breakfast were also very nice and helpful even when it was very busy. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the DC area. There are many great restaurants near by as well.

This is a nice hotel in a great location. Check in was easy and the lobby is very nice. The hotel is located in a residential neighborhood so there is limited parking. The valet fee is $50 per night. My room was very nice and clean, but the next morning there were ants in my bathroom. I notified the front desk and I was immediately moved to a different room. The front desk staff is very helpful as well. I recommend this hotel if you're in DC.

I really wanted to give them five stars, and they would have gotten five stars, but the bathroom was the deal killer for me. The amount of money I paid for the room, that bathroom was probably the smallest bathroom I've ever seen. The sink was terrible. The faucet was very hard to turn on, only ran hot, and seemed to be clogged. The bathroom was tucked away and you had to go through the closet to get there. You had to be paying attention in the middle of the night if you got up, there was a tiny bit of a lip and you'd stub your toe HARD if you weren't paying attention. The rest of the room was huge for DC - I'd have gladly given up some of that real estate for a sink with a counter or a toilet where you could sit. The beds were okay, not great. My TV didn't work (not that I really needed it for anything other than background noise while I worked late). All my electric outlets seemed to work - that can be a rarity in a hotel! That was a win. The desk space in my Queen Superior Kitchenette was big, and the chair was very comfortable. You can't beat the location! If you have meetings on Capitol Hill, this is the hotel to stay at. Fly into DCA, take the metro to Capitol South Station, and you're a very short, easy two blocks to the hotel. Staff was all very nice. I loved how coffee, tea, water was in the lobby at all times. That was convenient. They have a little mini snack shop, too, with limited options. I didn't try the breakfast that was in their building next door. Oh, Wednesdays, the church bells ring at 7am, so if you plan on sleeping in, heads up! ;) Other than that, the hotel was generally quiet the one night that I was there. The doors do slam when they close, there's not too much that you can do about that, other than try to be courteous yourself for your neighbors, and try to close them gently. I'd probably stay here again, but I would try a different room to see if the bathroom situation was different, and I would definitely not pay the same amount that I paid.
