Capitol Hill Hotel

breakfast described as "continental" however it was hearty and included eggs, meat, hot oatmeal, and potatoes as well as the usual fruit, danish, & yogurt. room was quiet and comfortable, bed excellent. individual climate control in room. pre-dinner wine hour in comfortable library, plus cookies, water, coffee, tea, apples always available and assorted sundries available for purchase. free bikes to borrow if you are so inclined! location perfect for Smithsonian museums, Library of Congress, Folger Library, and the delightful Capitol Hill & Eastern Market neighborhoods. staff friendly and helpful. mini-kitchen in room with microwave, coffee/tea maker, a small supply of silverware & a corkscrew (a thoughtful touch). L'Occitane toiletries in the bathroom, terrycloth robes ready in closet.

the breakfast room was a little warm, but it was indeed a warm morning and the breakfast room was full of guests.

Nice Hotel in DC

They had an excellent gym. The staff was helpful and friendly.

No complaints!

I love the location, free breakfast and most importantly the service.

Great Homebase for Visitors!

The hotel is located just steps from the Capitol and Library of Congress, and the Capitol South Metro stop. It was a great location, with a good selection of restaurants and cafes within a couple blocks. The hotel provides a great breakfast spread in a building adjacent to the main building, so be aware that you may have to walk a bit to get to breakfast in the morning if you are staying in the main building. Food included: oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, bread/bagels/muffins, fruit (apples/bananas), coffee, tea, and a selection of juices. While I never took part, the hotel also offers a wine hour from 5-6pm in the main building. They also provide free 24-hour tea/coffee/hot chocolate and a selection of sundries in the main building.

The bathroom in the Junior Suite was rather small and did not have a window that opened, so it did get a bit stuffy after a hot shower. The television generally worked, but some of the channels would go out every now and then. Wifi required you to log in multiple times a day, which was frustrating.
