ThePinkfreak805: A really beautiful and enjoyable place! They’ve got some really awesome plant species here! The tropical room is especially great! Not only is it beautiful, but with the humidity you’ll really feel like you’re in the rainforest! Also very cool to see the endangered plants you aren’t likely to see anywhere else.
Alex Navarro: Always lovely. The inside and outside gardens are full of flowers. Great place to take kids. They even have a children’s garden where kids can plant something and water it. So cute! You can spend a lot of time here if you like, but you can also easily see everything in about an hour.
Richa Rashmi: This is such a delightful retreat for an afternoon lunch or just a date in the different ecotones of the world. You could walk into a completely tropical climate full of tropical trees that have terrace views, or walk into a desert of cactus. There’s a section on medicinal plants followed by rare and endangered species which is mind blowing. I absolutely loved my shortest trip to Hawaii and then to a garden of orchids and roses. Be sure to checkout the inner and outer gardens. There are interesting wall murals of tea from China and other such use. But the most amazing part was the TOILET. Yes, you heard it right. It’s full of ornamental plants that smells amazing and the sound of water and birds will make you feel you’re in the cleanest part of the world, unlike what public restrooms are known for.
Jeremy Andra: The botanical gardens are a beautiful hideaway from the normal everyday views of the world. An amazing display of some of the wonderful offerings this world has to offer in the way of beautiful plants and miscellaneous greenery. We were shocked to find there is no charge to see any of this and would highly suggest you stop in and check it out.
Hyo Jin Moon: Beautiful garden that is open to the public for free. There are spots where you can sit and enjoy the weather and also the indoor green house that has so much to see (and learn. Lots of educational components). I highly recommend visiting here with kids of all ages.
Ben Matthews: If you’ve spent the day walking up the mall and around the museums, then this is a fantastic place to unwind. The glasshouse is beautiful in its own right, and features plants from many different climates. And the outdoor gardens are equally lovely. Definitely worth a stop if you’re near the Capital Building.

Madhu Kalepu: This place is located near the Smithsonian Castle! We visited expecting blooms, but the location didn’t disappoint us! Great views to take candid clicks. You can enter this place thru Castle or there is a private entry on the left side of the castle. Must visit if you want one of kind ‘moon gate’ to take some great pictures 👍🏻
Jose Ortega: A smaller part of the larger Haupt garden, it is a really special place. I love coming here to just enjoy the quietness. It can get busy in the summer months but come in the morning and enjoy it.
Hilda Kroll: Each season brings its own beauty to this lovely garden.
Michael Valdivielso: The Moongate Gate is a nice little place to rest and enjoy the weather, if its good, and maybe even a simple lunch. Now with displays on dragonflies.
Lavender Kelley: This lovely garden space has many nooks and small spaces to explore. The lush vegetation creates natural boundaries to the pathways and seating areas. Drop by for some time in the shade or a beautiful backdrop for a photo.
G Aquino: Beautiful and well maintained garden at the back of Smithsonian Castle (aka, Visitor Center). We were here in spring and the garden was a feast for the senses. Stop by, especially if you need a break from your visit of the surrounding museums.
leah gannaway: Nice little noo with a bit of seatingin the shade. Good place to sit and eat lunch on a work break.
Megan Wilcox: Beautiful garden with an awesome pond/sculpture. Great views of the castle and very cool entry doors.

Berkay Kaplan: Small and beautiful garden right next to the cathedral. I liked it and would recommend.
John Schalow: Exquisitely planted garden with multiple features, formal and informal, a water garden, many comfortable benches in both sun and shade. Great place to rest, think, read, or snack.
Bob Ridgway: Beautiful English garden!
Emilie K: This garden is to the right of Cathedral. I have visited multiple times through the last year and it is always well maintained and has beautiful trees, plants, and flowers.
Nick Hegarty: A very nice setting with multiple seating areas. Flowers and trees are mostly identified. Worth the visit. We paired with a half day at the Arboretum.
Duncan Bishop: Peaceful area and mostly quiet except a few children. Olmstead woods is nice to see too.
Jesus Hernandez: Great views of the building. Well preserved. Worth to visit. Sadly due to Coronavirus, access was denied.

Jozlantice Tucker: This garden is literally so well groomed. People were just in the garden taking photos. The area was kind of crowded but everyone was very mindful of each other. Leads directly to the African art museum, the Freer gallery, and the Smithsonian castle. Very nice place to take a break. My picture has the Smithsonian castle in the back.
J Peter Castro: A wonderful public park in the middle of the city and on the Mall. Take advantage of it when you can. It is great all year long!
吴锐恒（Ruiheng Edbalt Wu）: Arrived at 5:40pm. Museums near it were all closed but the garden itself is still nice.
Haley Powers: The garden is gorgeous! The flowers were just blooming when we visited and the bright colors complimented the surrounding architecture! This is a great people-watching spot and place to rest your feet after a DC tour!
Ythalo Saldanha: This place is like the secret garden, where you can be safe from the noise coming from outside. The flowers, roses, and different species of plants are outstanding. The area is very well conserved, clean, safe, and has a lot of park benches. It is a place to meet with friends and family, to read a book, to study. I really recommend this place.

Haley Hodges: Beautiful garden with a stunning display of nature & history. I love how the native animals are able to make homes here, too.
Ramin Abrahim: It’s funny how many people don’t know about this pond. But it’s a beautiful space in the National mall where you can take a stroll around the pond and have beautiful views of the trees and washington monument. During fall there are many migratory birds that stay here in transit.
3275362: This is a beautiful park with a pond, ducks, birds and other wildlife plus benches to sit and relax so you can take in the peaceful scenery. This gem is hidden right in the open between the Washington monument and the reflecting pool. If you walk along the sidewalk you will bypass it but it can be seen from the sidewalk and holds more than what the eye can see from there. I definitely suggest checking out.
Avishkar Govardhane: I am an Indian and my parents had been here at this place through a travel agency on a tour.My parents absolutely loved this place,they found it amazing to spend time here,relax and have some quality talk.
Adam Riemer: This is one of the best places to take photos of the Washington monument. But it also smells horrible in the summer with the algae and duck poop. Please throw your garbage out as well when visiting. The pond is not for plastic bottles.

Madhu Kalepu: Located near DC, Maryland border. Plenty of parking and not so crowded when we visited during long weekend. Place is great for Beautiful nature walks, picnic tables and fresh air. We have spotted Turtles, baby Turtles, Cranes, various birds while doing boardwalk. Garden closes at 4pm and the entry is free. Restrooms located at welcome center
Life in La Plata: One of my all-time favorite parks: so much beauty. You can look at the plants around the ponds, or the ones growing in the ponds, and you can try to spot wildlife in the water and the trees. There are bike paths on the far side of the park (if you drive). Plan to go early, the park closes at 4pm.
Ash Pouvaranukoah: An awesome place to be! The place is crawling with so many types of critters. Restrooms are nice and efficient. Definitely a great quiet place to bring family, friends, or just yourself!
Jill Cobb: It was a nice winter/early spring walk along the ponds and boardwalk. Nothing was blooming, but we saw turtles, frogs, and fish. Seems like summer is the time for the flowers.
Lisa Gump: I came to the gardens with a group of students and it is a beautiful Park to visit. I will admit though that it was tough for us to find. We AR not from the area and it is not easy with all the construction to get here. The park is worth the navigation woes. There are lots of things to see and do.
Connie Massaro: This is a unique aquatic garden in the DC area. Best time to visit is in the morning. The water lilies and the lotus are spectacular. There are different small ponds where they grow the lilies and the lotus. Bring your cameras!!! There is also a boardwalk and trails along the river.
Steven Esquina: The place was really nice lots of plants with beautiful lilies, frogs, deer, even foxes if you are really lucky will scurry about there are smalls docks that you can walk on to get close to the water where you can see ducks there is even an elevated platform where you can see the whole pond!!
Sam Chen: A nice place to spend several leisurely hours. The time I went there the water lily was not quite blooming yet, it must be beautiful when it does.

Business type: Arboretum
Eduardo Moser: We visited during cherry blossom days. They have a great variety of cherry trees and magnolias. It is a complement to know different cherry blossoms from those of the Tidal Basin. There is no proper public transportation, so the place is fairly free of tourists. We came to this place by car on the recommendation of a friend who lives in DC. The Bonsai collection is amazing. There is much to walk and explore. On a plain they have mounted the original columns of the Capitol. Bring some snacks and drinks, because there is no service in the place. Access and parking is free.
Da-Wang Wu: We came here in late April, and the Azalea blossoming was pretty amazing! Walking on the trail with the Azalea blossoming along the way was very nice. Parking inside the park can be tricky, so we parked in the lot right next to the entrance and walked 5-10 minutes to the main campus. Overall, it’s a beautiful place, and I would definitely come back.
CJ: Depending on when you visit the US National Arboretum, something different is peaking. In mid April, the fruit trees were just past peak, but the lilacs shrubs were close to full bloom. As I strolled thru the lilac grove, the soft lilac fragrance permeated the air. One of the US National Arboretum’s most prominent and a little puzzling landmarks is the old Corinthian National Capitol Columns residing on the Ellipse Meadow. The US National Arboretum was not the column’s intended home when they were quarried back in the early 1800s. Originally, the columns were built as a part of the east portico of the US Capitol Building now located about 3 miles away from the US National Arboretum. By the 1860s, when the dome of the Capitol was completed, the columns were deemed inadequate to support the new dome. It wouldn’t be until the mid 1980s before the columns would find their final home at the US National Arboretum. Twenty-two of the original 24 columns are on majestic display in Ellipse Meadow. During our trip to the US National Arboretum in mid April, the Azaleas were just starting to bud and bloom. So no good pictures this trip. Peak time for the Azalea garden at the arboretum is late April. I hear the Azaleas are a beautiful sight when the hillside is painted with splotches of different colors.
Karthikeyan Rajaram: Luck is when you run into a beautiful place like this without planning. Better luck is when you get into it in the company of a person who used to volunteer at this place. We didn’t really plan to be at the arboretum, considering that the Spring is still not Springy enough. We had seen enough of Cherry Blossoms in the Tidal basin area that we thought we could do something else. We just made it to this place on recommendation from one of our relatives, who also accompanied us. Since he was a volunteer here, he helped us navigate and gave us so much insights about the different kinds of plants, flowers, bonsais and the what the lovely people who work here, do. We drove around this place and still got to see more cherry blossoms, along with different other species of flora. The enchanting Bonsai museum is a must visit as it did take our breathes away. The old columns of the capitol and the grove of different state trees are some of the special features of this place. The flowers were not in full blossom and we definitely look forward to checking this place again in summer.
Logan Heilman: Visited for the Bonsai event they were having and had a blast. All the vendors were great and the museums bonsai and penjing exhibit was phenomenal. Will definitely be back.
Elisabeth “Beth” Ostrander: We only had about an hour and headed to the bonsai area. Wow! To see living gifts from Japan and China that were started and cared for since before the birth of our nation was truly outstanding. Befitting our National Arboretum! Will return to see more treasures!

Sara Ceresa: I was mostly interested in seeing the gardens, which didn’t disappoint. I also quite enjoyed the tour of the house including the historical context of the property’s ownership and recognition of the critical roles of slaves and caretakers in the history of the property.
pooria riahi: This is a very charming place hidden in Georgetown and visiting it is free. places in a cute neighborhood and its gardens could be a relaxing destination for an afternoon. However, I have to voice my concern on the state of the place and how badly it is being kept. In my mind, if they need money, it is ok to charge visitors but gardens are delicate things to maintain and need attention.
B Daisy: Gorgeous. We got to rest in the garden for half an hour before our tour of the house started, which was beautiful and so serene. The house itself comes with a great amount of history, and the people who work here really care about the story and try to provide you with as much information as they can, which was really inspiring to see. You could tell, just by looking at Francis (our amazing guide) and the rest of the staff, how significant the house and the narrative was to them. Their enthusiasm and dedication was beautiful, and the garden and the house itself was such a treat to see. Loved every minute of it.
Natalie Thomas: We did the elegant Victorian tea party and toured the Historic House. 👌🏽👌🏽
Michelle Mitton: A beautiful stop in our tour of Georgetown. The house was closed due to COVID but the gardens were worth the visit. We loved the neighborhood around the estate and the fountains and gardens are well kept and lovely. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Natalie Moore: I am a wedding photographer specializing in film photography. Myself and another photographer hosted our workshop, The Film Theory Workshop at the Tutor Place and it was the perfect place for our small get together! They were accommodating with helping us navigate the ins and outs of making our workshop come to life, and the backdrop was perfect for multiple shoot locations. The historic grounds in Washington, D.c. tell an incredible story and was the perfect fit for our workshop! Hope to shoot wedding there one day! ps. We were so excited when our workshop ended up going on to be featured in Style Me Pretty! Big thanks to Tudor Place! Images by Natalie Jayne Photography
Sammy Mills: Beautiful grounds but not much to it. It would be a beautiful place for a wedding or a photo shoot. We didn’t get a chance to tour the house, they happen on the hour. To walk through the gardens is $3 and you get a brochure about the property.
Rachel McCoy: Beautiful in the spring time with the flowers in full bloom. Gardens can be visited for just $3. There are plenty of benches to sit and admire the view of this little idyll in the middle of Georgetown.

Middle Aged Dad Reviews: This place was definitely worth the visit, especially if you enjoy the outdoor/floral ideas. You can walk around the grounds for free if you want (which is the best part in my opinion), but you need to pay the fee to go inside the mansion. It is worth it if you are interested in seeing museum quality pieces (gold chalices, paintings, jewerly/crowns, etc). If you get a chance, I highly recommend visiting in the spring at when all your flowers and trees are blooming, as it is uniquely magical how everything comes to life. So much color and calmness.
Claire Mizutani: Such a wonderful Estate! My family came by after lunch and definitely didn’t give ourselves enough time to see everything before it closed. I highly recommend going on a guided tour of the mansion as there are very few signs detailing what items are and why they are part of the collection. The gardens are lovely and I especially enjoyed the Japanese garden but that may be because of the season of my visit. The greenhouses are a bit tight but had a beautiful display of orchids.
Azadeh Hassani: It is unbelievable how much nature and beauty you can find right here in DC and in one location. Find a few hours to go to Hillwood and enjoy its magnificent gardens, indoor collections and the amazing history behind all that. This is not to be missed
Olga Graves: What an interesting and gorgeous place!Absolutely loved it here!! and we were so lucky to have beautiful weather (went here at the end of September) to roam the grounds too. Such an extensive and impressive collection of the Russian arts and items of the Romanov family (largest outside Russia). The staff was very friendly and helpful. We went in the morning (they open at 10) which helped avoid the crowds because it got busier later on, but not bad at all, compared to other places in DC. Gift shop was beautiful and had unique items. The entrance fee was shockingly affordable, especially for a place of this kind. They have student and senior discounts too. Masks are required inside the buildings, but not otherwise.
Harvey Tillipman: It was a beautiful day and we walked around the estate. The flowers were in full bloom. The azaleas were magnificent. Visited the museum and enjoyed all the interesting items. Highly recommend while the flowers are in bloom.
Dmitry: Historical house with a remarkable collection of Russian art. It also has a beautiful garden. We joined a guided tour which was quite informative. Do not miss orangerie with orchids collection.

Erich Meier: What can one really say about the White House? It is amazing! I was extremely impressed with the secret service and their depth of knowledge of historical facts. If that secret service gig does not work out, I know plenty of history teachers that you could easily replace.
Viajando con Mercedes: The White House is beautiful before we use to get really close but now is impossible, is a long walk you need to get a very good parking or park at the street, is beautiful and you can take a very nice walk and buy some souvenirs, eat , spend a beautiful day in this amazing city .
Optimus UK: Well you got to visit, like or dislike who is the office its an iconic building. Be prepared for the daily protesters outside and currently the front fence is being renovated so you cant get that close and the barriers somewhat obstruct the photo opportunties.

Kristen Diaz: Just moved here from Miami & have been searching for a new fav plant shop. Ive explored so many & this one is definitely it! Great selection of plants at reasonable prices. They have an outdoor & indoor section plus an upstairs portion. I’ve gotten so many plants from here already. The staff is also friendly & helpful. Recommend.
Scott Nguyen: Some of the plants sold here did not have any roots, so what chance do they have in surviving? The other plant we bought was fine though, still this nursery need to either check their greenhouse or suppliers for rooted plants.
a: I finally had the chance to stop by Ginkgo Gardens, and it completely exceeded my expectations. There is a WIDE variety of plants, planters, tools, and more! During checkout, I told the man I was just beginning my gardening journey and he pulled out this book to help me with the plants I bought today! Thank you so much for the amazing experience and exceptional customer service. This isn’t the closest plant nursery to me, but it is 100% worth the trip. I will definitely be back soon!
Ashley Stewart: Ginkgo Gardens is a cozy neighborhood plant store where I get almost all of my houseplants and planters. They also have a wide selection if outdoor plants. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the plants are beautiful. Sometimes I just visit the store for some pleasant browsing.
Sheree P: I was recently in an unfortunately common predicament. My husband was on a business trip and my daughter was in quarantine from Pre school. So I was limited in what I could do but was also responsible for entertaining a busy toddler. During our time together, my daughter and I prepared our garden to plant vegetables. I was able to call Ginko, talk about specifics of our plan and pay over the phone. Someone even gladly brought the merchandise to my car. The customer service representative went above and beyond in taking the time to speak with me and my daughter about our desires and even researched a topic for us. I feel valued as a customer and will always come back for my gardening needs.
Siena Dante: Reasonable prices based on my past experience buying plants in New York City. Staff was really friendly and knowledgeable and gave me good plant recommendations. They have a good and varied selection as well
Alison A: I was very excited to come hear about hearing good things. I was looking for something particular that a friend had found here. I asked a long haired male employee for help, and he just told me to look around for it…. The place is huge with lots of variety of plants, so I wasted time because I couldn’t find it… with that being said, very poor customer service. Wasted my time here.

Kelly M.: GORGEOUS!! I found this place by mistake and I’m so glad I did. My family thoroughly enjoyed a lovely relaxed stroll through the gardens on a Sunday a few weeks ago. It’s much larger than I expected it to be and there were a lot of different paved trails we were able to easily push a stroller on. We definitely plan to return. There’s a $6 fee per person.
Nate Dowdle: Nice place for a quiet walk. Well worth the minimal entrance fee. We went a little early in the season so we plan to go back when more of the plants and flowers come out of their winter slumber.
Da-Wang Wu: A very nice little botanical garden! It has a Korean bell and some related architecture, making it interesting and special. The annual membership for an individual is $35, and the person can bring one guest. For one-time visit, it’s only $6. Pretty good value for money. They have large parking space. Visitors should budget 1-1.5hr for this garden to at least finish walking and visiting all the places. We visited around mid-Nov, probably not the best season to come here. Will definitely come back again.
K S: It was spectacular but it was crowded. We came at 530pm. The Lanes did get congested and it wasn’t Where you’d go if you wanted to social distance. There were plenty of people who did not wear masks The people who worked there were kind and nice. Customer service was amazing. However I wish it wasn’t so crowded. My children loved it. It was well worth the money. Next year we will buy tickets way in advance and try harder for the 5pm slot. They did a really amazing job on this display and it definitely was a labor of love.
Phil Catania: Wonderful park to visit during the Christmas holiday. A million and one hundred thousand bulbs light up the gardens and walkways. Grab a hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint schnapps on your way out!
Jessa 4Peace: A beautiful park! I visited in the fall as the leaves were changing and it was still gorgeous. Tickets are inexpensive and well worth the $6 adult entry fee. They were setting up for the holiday lights so I will definitely come back one night this year to check those out. All in all a gorgeous place to escape to.

Sarah Hall: A lovely park with beautiful outdoor art to enjoy for free. You can even cool your toes in the fountain. (But they ask you not to actually wade in it.) Plenty of shade and grass, too.
Jenny Terry: Gorgeous small sculpture garden! I really enjoyed the thought provoking sculptures on display. I could have sat around the fountain and watched the ducks all day. What a beautiful little gem that I’m so glad we discovered.
Walt Nicholson: This is one of the best gems of the national mall. The garden is full interesting and thought-provoking artworks, and in the summer there’s an amazing fountain that turns into an ice rink in the winter. The café is one of the best places to get real food on the mall. The prices are a little steep for than most would like, but the food is good and it’s not on the high school bus tour itinerary. It’s a great spot to other plan your time in DC or to catch your breath after walking through the monuments all day.
DD Henderson: Was able to go ice skating. The price for skate rental and skating was around $14./ Child. Their is a cafe there to grab a cup of hot cocoa. Many of sculptures to take pictures of. Metered parking is available until 4 pm. After a few hours of ice skating head over next door to the American History Museum. Across the street you can take a ride on the carousel or have a picnic in the park.
Richard Gross: Such a great place to find some shade and have a snack when out at the museum the national mall. They have a little cafe, nice bathrooms, and a water bottle refill. Plus lots of cool sculptures around the garden. The fountain is nice to watch. Great place and no entry fee.
Kevin Shim: Nice little place to hangout.It has cool sculptures, an ice rink, and a cafe. Plenty of places to sit outside and just relax.
R Lin: Looking for a pleasant, outdoor place to hang out with food close by and a good view? Well, there are about a million spots like that in DC and especially the National Mall area, but hey, come try the Nat’l Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden anyways! It’s a pretty expansive garden, and the art to be found is so much fun. One game I really like to play here is to try and pose like the sculptures. Seriously, try it- you’ll definitely get weird looks from the passerby’s but the fun and laughs triumph! There’s a cafe in the garden that does have indoor and outdoor seating. It’s close by so many other museums and is actually across the street from the Nat’l Gallery of Art museum, which may be a little misleading. Check it out!

Karen Garcia, Realtor - Woodbridge, VA: Love The Secret Garden! Such a cute restaurant with yummy food. The service is always good and all the servers are very attentive. Love going to eat there then walking around the town of Occoquan. On this trip we had… Raspberry Mimosa Traditional French toast Eggs, potatoes and fruit Lump crabcake sandwich The Berry Crunch Almond French Toast Everything was delicious!
Jon Stamos: This place has such delicious food and incredible service from the staff. The breakfast sandwich is so good, and the French toast is amazing. I love the cream cheese. Also the steak and eggs is a really big portion and tastes great. The roasted potatoes they serve here taste really good too
Priscilla McSwain: Great food, great service and cute place! French toast was amazing. Good coffee and mimosas! Recommend you get on the waitlist before getting there. Also parking can be difficult to find with an uphill walk.
Wendy A: I love this place. Great customer service, good portions and the main thing is the flavor. Everything is excellent but the strawberry mimosas and the Reuben sandwich are a great combination for dinner. In this picture I already ate half of the sandwich.
Keyanna Gibson: Beautiful spot with indoor and outdoor seating & friendly staff! We had the French Toast and Fajita Pita, the steak was amazing! Recommend the raspberry mimosas to top of your time at the Secret Garden! 2 mimosas and a brunch entree will cost around $30-$40.
Gloria Alexander: Such a wonderful little cafe! The service was outstanding and the food was delicious! Everything we had was so good! Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend you try this quaint little gem in Occoquan; you won’t be disappointed!
DeLorean Wiggins: The Shrimp the Grits are bomb. I would definitely recommend. I came in on a Sunday so it was busy but what I will say is even in a busy environment the customer service experience was amazing! I would recommend this restaurant. Deboria our waitress was amazing. She won’t disappoint.
Joya: The brunch options were tasty however the service was minimal. It was very unsettling to try to figure out who was servicing my party. Had to ask several people for different items and the check
Jayda Brown: The secret garden is such a beautiful place! I love stopping by and getting something quick to eat because service is always fast. I usually get the shrimp and grits and it’s absolutely delicious!! My partner ordered the black and blue steak …he thought it was alright nothing special , I tasted it and thought it was disgusting. The steak was chewy and tasted weird. Their raspberry mimosa is my fav drink it’s very addictive lol! The pecan coconut cake is a musty try also.

Nathalie Duncan: A magician with flowers Stephanie is one of the most talented flower gurus I have ever worked with. Her sense of colors, textures, shapes, volume is amazing. Her bouquets are artful and distinguished even when she uses the most simple flowers available. Her studio is like a laboratory and everything that comes out of it will make your life a little better.
Andrew Willey: Stephanie is incredibly talented and has a beautiful array of plants and flowers. She decorated my wedding and her love for her craft shows in every flower. I highly recommend her from everything to events to single bouquets.

Business type: Hotel
Siobhan Walker: My stay was amazing. My room was spacious and so clean. The front desk was polite, helpful and very professional. Octavia was awesome. She was most helpful because the hotel I had a current reservation for had canceled my reservation and I had to make a reservation here last minute. She provided me the most outstanding customer service possible even with my frustration from the other hotel. Any questions I had was answered and my stay was relaxing. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.
g watson: Customer service here is EXCELLENT. Very friendly staff - extra praise to the office manager, Reina Munoz and guest agent Janay! Hilton - you should recognize this location and their staff, they go above and beyond their call to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable. All hotel/hospitality should take this location as the example for service. The rooms are clean, and quite comfortable and roomy - this hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk from Union Station. I was here for business and I was delightfully surprised for the work space and seating area. I was also happy to learn their fitness center is open 24hrs...with my stay being business in nature - it is difficult for me to get a work out in at most places, due to the limited hours fitness centers are available. 100% recommend the US CAPITOL location. If you want to feel welcomed and comfortable, stay here!
Angela Baca: The air conditioning in our room never worked even after they had someone come and fix it. The elevator stopped on every floor. The pool was available but it was foggy and couldn’t see the bottom of the pool because of this. Burned my kids eyes and mine. This hotel is older and not maintained well by Hilton. There are no fans in the bathroom so if you take a hot shower your whole hotel room fills with steam. The people are nice and it is located near a metro. Those are the only two things that are good about this hotel. Only stay here unless you just can’t find anywhere else to stay.
Natalie Martin: The staff was nice and did what they could, but the hotel was overwhelmed and not well maintained. It is unequipped to have more than 1-2 guests arriving or departing at the same time. It also has intentionally inadequate air conditioning. I have stayed at Hiltons in other cities that also have valet only parking. They’ve all had a driveway to pull in and unload your vehicle. This one has only a small shoulder that a maximum of 2 cars can pull into. Everyone else has to just stop in the middle of a busy street. There were no luggage carts when we arrived, left or had to move rooms on the second night. Other guests also told us that there were no luggage carts when they arrived. On the first night the room was consistently hot though we could hear the AC cut on and off. After coming to look at it twice, the maintenance man determined that the compressor in our room was broken so we were moved to a new room (again no luggage cart, we had a lot of stuff as we were traveling with a toddler). The maintenance man explained that the AC units are motion activated so guests will always return to a hot room and it will always get hot in the middle of the night so that’s why it took him so long to figure out that ours was actually broken. This seems incredibly stingy for a Hilton (in addition to being illogical as it takes more energy to cool a hot room than it does to simply maintain temperature). Stay here only if you are a single traveler with one suitcase and don’t mind an 80 degree room overnight and when you return after being out of the room. Other reviews mention how slow the elevator is, that is also true.
Geoffrey D: Parking valet lane is terribly short. Stains on the comforter. Breakfast included not properly advertised on elevator or through hotel. Laid out of first floor is very awkward, why have steps instead of escalator to second floor. Front desk staff were superb. All throughout the stay they were informative, helpful, positive and available! Wait for valet was not long at all, which was surprising. Minor issues, overall decent stay.
David: Very nice hotel - staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. The Manager greeted us as we were leaving and just make the stay complete. Nice pool and restaurant - special call out Kevon our waiter for one of our evening meals. Great place to stay - close to a metro stop as well.
Sassy Sauce: The hotel is pretty decent. It met all of our basic needs. It was as clean as I think it should be but the rest of my party felt it was ok. Parking can be a little challenging in the area but we managed. The front desk staff were pleasant and very helpful. I would go back if I needed to.
Chippy McLain: Guest services here should be renamed "guest hassles." Checking in and checking out were lengthy, frustrating ordeals. Paid valet parking was ineffective, slow, and overpriced--and apparently the only option. Showers were inconsistent, with cold winning two out of the three mornings we stayed. One of the two elevators was broken leading to overstuffed rides with no option of social distancing as well as long delays in the lobby. The spa had a new twist: a hot tub colder than the pool. I had hoped for a classy, Hilton experience for my family. I wish I had stayed at a Motel 6. I am thankful that I saw no rats inside the hotel. There were plenty just outside the front door; I assume due to the construction and vagrant tents across the street. This section of DC has some big rats. My littlest did think these were cool; my wife, not so much.
