    This is my second time staying at this Hilton location and I can say they are consistently amazing at accommodating guests. I want to give a shout out to Frank, I got in on an early flight and he was able to get me into a room with no issues. He also made me feel very comfortable as a solo traveler and appreciated as an Honors member. The overall staff are so kind and willing to help, which makes your stay 10x better. It is an older hotel with charm. They have renovated the rooms (it also had a lovely scent when I walked in). I love the location as it’s close to many local attractions and a variety of restaurants.

    Hello my friend… Allow me to share with you something truly beautiful. Islam is the way to real happiness, a path that fills the heart with peace and clarity. What makes Islam amazing is that it connects you directly with Almighty God without any mediators, inviting you to think, reflect, and discover the truth with your own heart. Let’s start our journey to discover the beauty of Islam together… a small step may open a door of light in your life.

    Location is excellent. A great variety of quality restaurants and DC attractions are within easy walking distance. Hotel is clean and cozy. No complaints. Service is 6 STARS! Everything from check in to housekeeping, doorman and banquet staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Extra shout out to FRANK, he was professional, kind and clearly takes pride in his job (front desk). He really went the extra mile to assist me in a last minute reservation. Also, Karen, 7th floor housekeeping was so sweet and accommodating. The staff at the Cap Hilton love this place and it shows. Will return.

    I had a wonderful check-in experience thanks to Theresa Thomas. She greeted me warmly and made me feel immediately welcome. Her professionalism and efficiency ensured the process was smooth and stress-free, while her friendly demeanor added a personal touch that set the tone for my stay. Theresa went above and beyond to answer my questions and provide helpful information about the hotel amenities. Her attentiveness and genuine hospitality truly reflect the high standards of the Capital Hilton. Theresa is an excellent representative of the hotel, and her service left a lasting positive impression.

    I’ve been a Hilton Honors member for a good couple of decades. Never been big on hotel feedbacks, just want to warn people who expect a genuine 4-star experience. That’s NOT the place that’ll give you that. Things that stand out are very mediocre breakfast and indifferent-to-rude staff. One of the waiters bluntly told my wife that he didn’t care in response to her request for a descent, machine-brewed coffee. The very same waiter tried to force me to write tips in the breakfast bill. Front desk failed to provide final hotel bill including prepaid room charge despite my booking the stay via hhonors home page. Still don’t have the bill;) We had to move to another hotel around the corner for the rest of our stay at DC.
