I have never written a hotel review before, but after staying at the Hilton Capitol Hill, I feel the need.
It is conveniently located about a block from Union Station. When we arrived, we were exhausted from being up since 4am, and were so happy to be able to check in early. And the man was incredibly nice. This definitely was a plus.
Now for the all of the other good things about our room:
1. We chose a King Atrium room. There was virtually no noise whatsoever, which is huge for me because I have trouble staying asleep.
2. The room was very clean. VERY. It had a super comfortable bed and pillows.
3. We could actually adjust the temp in the room and weren't stuffy at night. Yay!
4. Mini-fridge! Not gonna lie, this was one of the deciding factors in my choosing this hotel...haha
5. USB charging ports beside the bed so all you need is your charging cord.
6. Well-planned bathroom. There are shelves and an outlet on the wall behind you when you stand at the bathroom sink on where you can spread all of your stuff. There is so much room in there. Also, when you shut the door, the angle is such that you can see the back of your hair and outfit. Super convenient when getting ready.

It is a great hotel and a great value. I will totally stay there again when in Washington, DC.

Comfortable stay. Room on 7th floor was fine, spacious, if a little tired around the edges, especially considering the prevailing room rates.

The desk arrangement is bizarre, with no plug sockets available. I eventually worked out that there was a removable wooden panel under the desk which allows access to one other socket, in addition to the one powering the desk lamp. Sadly my adapter was too large to allow for the lamp and my laptop to be plugged in at once. But a solitary (hidden) plug in 2024 feels…. Dated?

There was a large conference going on during my stay, and one lift seemed to be out of service. These things happen, but it did make for some long waits to go up and down, and I could not find a staircase!

Other reviews mention the fire station one block down. I did hear fire trucks but to be honest, this seemed no worse than staying in any hotel downtown in a major city.

Food options in the vicinity are limited. If you don’t fancy the delights of Union Station, then the District Rico chicken place two blocks up is superb for take away or casual dine-in.

Staff were consistently friendly and helpful, they allowed me early check in and stored my bag on my final day. I continue my one-man crusade for kettles in international hotels in the US, but recognise this is perhaps a niche issue!

Had the breakfast buffet with my 11 year old daughter on Sunday 3/24. Very bad service (e.g., had to get coffee from the lobby, plates piling up) and food selection was very limited. For example no omelette station, no jam/honey etc. Yet they charged $34 per person plus tax. And would not let me pay with F&B credit
earned during stay (Diamond benefit). F&B mgr Clement Gomes thought this was ok. I think this was worst breakfast experience with a Hilton. Never again.
