Hampton Inn Washington-Downtown-Convention Center

This hotel is in a good location within walking distance of the Verizon Center. The hotel is kept very clean. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay, but we do have a couple of complaints. The first is the cost of parking. There is only valet parking available at the hotel. The sign says it costs $34, […] however there's an additional $6 tax per day that was not mentioned on the sign. The other complaint is that the TV had bad reception on the station that we wanted to watch. We were told we could watch the TV downstairs in the lobby, but otherwise we were not compensated for the incovenience of not being able to watch the game in our room. Read more

The hotel was clean and the staff were all very helpful with questions I had. I am from the area but had not been there in 15 years so much had changed. The breakfast bar was great to start the day and not have to worry about where to eat in the morning.

The hotel had a perfect location, close to everything! We had two rooms, one of them wasn't clean, we find some used ear cleaner stick, the toilet paper was almost empty etc... The breakfast was busy, the hot eggs was bad... the bell staff looked out from inside, and they tried to help us right after, when we finished unloading our car...

For the price, the hotel is highly recommended based on its location. Free breakfast is a huge plus and the staff were friendly. Walking distance to Chinatown and 7th Street where many restaurants are located. Walking distance to Verizon Center which we were not aware so please checkout the events before your visit. We decided to drive to the museums […] considering all the walking to be done there, however, you can walk to them if you desire. The area seems very safe with many residential apartments. Read more

Just got back from 5 day family vacation in DC with my 3 little boys. Here's the lowdown. Pros: Very affordable, nice size room with 2 queen beds and large bathroom was well maintained and surprisingly quiet with the only sounds from the occasional people passing by in the hallway. Nice friendly staff all around. Pleasant lobby with complimentary coffee/tea/hot […] cocoa all day, free WSJ and USA Today. Typical Hampton Inn breakfast which was very convenient, plentiful, clean and was a great start to the day, especially when dragging around 3 young kids. Small pool but very enjoyable for the kids who also frequently dashed into the whirlpool to warm up. Surprisingly nice gym. Cons: We checked in late afternoon, and the staff of 2 at the front desk were overwhelmed between check ins/out and the phone. Stuff in their snack center were pretty expensive so I recommend picking up elsewhere if possible. However, when you must have chips, candy and ice cream late at night, it's there. Pool is small; often out of towels; couple days were over chlorinated to the point where it stung my eyes and nose and I had to leave. However, kids never noticed and continued to enjoy with their dad. Valet parking was pretty expensive $34/day but to be expected. Location: Definitely walkable to the mall - approx 15 min. My kids are little so we cabbed a lot. Lots of restaurants between hotel and the mall. Overall: Typical Hampton Inn. Attentive caring staff. Would definitely return. Read more

If you like to walk its convenient to the mall. Breakfast food was good but crowded. My only complaint was the pillows. I could not sleep on them. After the first night of fighting with them I used a towel for the remainder of my stay.

This hotel is in an excellent location, an easy walking distance from the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro stop. The Verizon Center is close and many Smithsonian museums are relatively close. The hotel has a pool/workout area, and a very good breakfast buffet--with different "main" courses daily. All of the above give an excellent family hotel overall […] experience. I would recommend earplugs if you are a sound sleeper, though the area is safe enough, the main Capitol D.C. Police station is closeby and pretty "active" during the night. Read more

If your not trying to spend an "arm and a leg" on downtown D.C. hotels, I highly recommend the Hampton Inn Washington Downtown-Convention Center. The overall experience was great. I recommend getting the parking package which should also come w complimentary breakfast. Parking is not convenient, so if your not trying to drive around in circles, especially […] if your married or have kids I recommend the parking package (you get the hotel valet service). Breakfast was a decent selection: various breads to toast, waffel maker, juice bar, yogurt, pastries, hard boiled eggs, and other various breakfast selections. The pool is good for kids, it is only about 4' deep and there is a hot tub. Room was good enough for a short 2.5 day stay. The hotel location is no more than 5 minutes driving to the Smithsonian exhibits. You are within 5 minutes walking to the Verizon Center (for basketball fans) and also to Chinatown. Food selection and great restaurants was not an issue. This was a fun stay. Read more

Very good hotel. I was satisfied with everything, room and service were excellent and there was nothing I could complain about. Parking was not included and it costed 34 dollars per night but I knew it wasn't included so there was really no problem. It was a little bit expensive. It considered the hotel I guess it is a fair price. Breakfast was pretty […] delicious, and there was a lot of food and when it was over, it was replaced with more food. I really enjoyed my stay in Washington and I strongly suggest this hotel, even though it is a little far from the White House but it is really not a big deal, as it probably takes you 15 minutes walking and the hotel is worth staying.

Clean and comfortable hotel, close to metro at a reasonable price.

Everything was great. I like how they can provide any items you may have missed while packing like a tooth brush or comb. The bed was very comfortable. There is plenty of room to put away your things and the bathroom is very spacious as well. I would definitely visit again when I am in town.

Good value for the price that we paid. We did however run into a serious problem withe heat pump on our second evening there that robbed us of a sleep. We notfied from desk staff of our diffcculty and were cordially promised compensation for the lost night, but did not receive any such compensation.

Our family stayed here Thanksgiving week. The location was wonderful - lots of restaurants and shops nearby and only a 10-minute walk to the National Mall. All the employees, from the front desk clerk to the valet parking attendant to the ladies who run the breakfast room to the housekeepers, were friendly and efficient. The breakfast is fairly typical […] of hotels, but the variety and quality were good and there was something for everyone. The lower floors are subject to some traffic noise, so you might think about asking for one of the higher floors. Also, the daily parking fee seems pretty expensive, but I suppose it's not out-of-line for the area...and the fee was listed up front, so I can't complain about it being a hidden charge. A few of the reviews I read said the hotel was in an unsafe area, so you should be careful about being out after dark. I didn't think that was the case at all, it was just a typical urban setting. There were a lot of people and other tourists out and about, so we never felt less than safe. Our ten-year-old son officially declared the hotel as "awesome!" All in all we had a great stay, and would definitely stay here again on our next trip to D.C. Read more

We were looking for a hotel with a good location and this certainly has it. Walking distance to the Mall. Plenty of restaurants close by and a good cinema. The hotel staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, never passing up the chance to offer help and advice. Every member of staff even the porters always smiled and said hello. The hotel […] room was a little on the small size but that's quite common for a hotel in the city. Room service came a little too early in the morning and even came in to clean our room before we'd had a chance to shower. I'd also recommend getting downstairs early in the morning for breakfast as it got very busy by 8am. All in all we loved the hotel and would definitely visit again. Read more

The staff at this hotel was outstanding - always very helpful and extremely pleasant!! Plus this hotel is convenient to many tourist venues. We were able to walk to many places we wanted to go. The hotel lobby was undergoing a renovation when we were there, which was a bit disruptive. It was especially inconvenient due to insufficient space to accommodate […] everyone who wanted to partake. However, this should be a temporary issue. We found the room to be generally very nice and quiet for the most part. The only night there was a lot of noise, hotel staff responded to our request that our neighbors quiet down very quickly. For some reason, it took a very long time to get hot water to our room. We would definitely return and recommend it for couples and families wanting to tour the many wonderful things this city has to offer. Read more

Close to the convention center. Excellent staff and breakfast.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel was conveniently located, but only valet parking is available at $34 a night, and is inconveniently located on just one side of the hotel on a busy street with a very tiny place to quickly park and unload. We enjoyed that the continental breakfast was more than just OJ and muffins. It was pretty good, actually, except for the powdered eggs […] used in the omelettes rather than real eggs. The bathroom fan was not working in our room, and the maintenance guy kept saying that the equipment on the roof was working just fine, as if he didn't hear the silence when we turned it on. We were not offered a different room. Also, the cribs are too small for infants older than 3 months, as our baby turned and her feet got caught in the rails. We took her out and just placed the mattress on the floor. Read more

For the price, I was disappointed-I was told by Expedia that parking at the hotel was free (included in price I was paying but actually it cost $34.00 per day). The front lobby area of the hotel was under construction and the price did not reflect this inconvience, the jacuzzi was not working and was not going to be fixed during our stay. The breakfast […] area was much too small for the number of people eating breakfast-people were in the lobby area as well as in the breakfast area, it was not just overcrowded it was mobbed!!! The hotel staff was extremely nice and very helpful. Read more

We enjoyed the hotel. It is very conveniently located. Had my two teenagers and we had a pleasant time. Breakfast was good, the rooms were clean and the staff was helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was undergoing major renovations in the lobby, so that took some appeal from the entrance. Also, there was no specific concierge or travel brochures, but the check-in staff provided maps and basic details on the area. Within a 5 minute walk from the metro, but going a block or 2 in the wrong direction could land you in a less-than-desirable […] area, especially late at night. Overall, a good deal for the money, with breakfast included. We went with the parking package which led to some confusion upon arrival, since Expedia specifically stated self-parking only; however, the hotel only has valet. They did honor the parking package at valet, however, once we figured out where to arrive after several drives around the block and a call to the hotel. Read more

Location was perfect for us, near convention center and many restaurants. Bathroom was spotless, beds comfortable. On our second morning there, they opened the new breakfast area which is clean and has lots of seating. Good variety of foods for breakfast. Staff was friendly. Only things we didn't like were no fan in bathroom and noisy, old air conditioner. Room […] had an odd smell, not terrible, but noticeable. Parking was $34+ taxes each night, would be nice if they included free parking with room or at least offered a discount to guests; combined with room charges, it adds up. Read more

Hotel lobby is under extensive renovations, so breakfast area very cramped but was nice complimentary meal! It is hard to judge condition of hotel because the carpet and tile in lobby was pulled out. The only downside was that it took an extremely long time to drop car off and pick it back up. There is nowhere to pull out of the way while waiting for […] attendant to take the car. (And there is a $40 charge) Read more
