Outward appearance of hotel was very good, but the actual room wasn't that great. I got very little sleep, as I've never encountered a room with such loud traffic noise. Bed was pretty old with a sunken mattress. I checked out after one sleepless night and moved to the Howard Johnson in Cheverly. Much nicer room/mattress/sleep if you don't mind staying […] 7miles outside the DC city center. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

We were disappointed that only 2 breakfasts were included in the "bed and breakfast" on-line special. We were a party of 3 and that detail was not in the on-line description. When I brought it to the manager's attention,he said there was nothing he could do and he couldn't add the info online. The pull out cot was very uncomfortable. The pool was not […] yet opened for the season. The front desk help was very helpful, polite and courteous. The walk to the museums was easy. There was a short area we felt uncomfortable walking through near a park although we never had any problems. The courtesy shuttle in the morning was an unexpected, wonderful surprise. The hotel was 3 blocks from the Metro. The front desk personnel helped us to find routes and provided a map for the Metro. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"In the middle of Nowhere"
Maybe this is a business hotel, because I did not see one child there. We booked it based on the price. You get what you pay for. The worse part was it was in the middle of nothing but a bad area. Had to walk blocks to the metro to get to the main site in DC. That was scary with 2 kids. Although the room was clean, most the hotel was old and rundown […] and no updated. Very friendly staff at check-in who helped with questions ebcaue they had no conceirge. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Satisfied, think acceptable for the price, but do not know how much more a better hotel would have been. Official D.C. Visitors guide says "all newly renovated rooms", don't think they were renovated recently, shows sign of heavy use, sink plunger did not work, so sink could not hold water.Close to subway, 3 blocks, and Capitol which was walkable. Neighborhood […] noisy with traffic, but location was handy to I395. Only eatery was McD other than hotel. Only ate breakfast at hotel, acceptable. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"great views"
Our stay was amazing. At check in--the front desk person heard my young daughter say she was excited to see the sights and without any prompting he then changed our room to the highest floor to give her the best view of the capital.Upon check out my daughter forgot her favorite stuffed animal in the room. Upon returning home to NY and realizing it was […] gone, I called the hotel housekeeping dept very late at night and the man there had the stuffed bear and mailed it back to us the next morning. Getting service like this in todays world is extremely rare. This place was awesome!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Wasnt the best place to stay."
First at check in there was only one person working so there was a line then they type ofroom we requested wasnt avalible but no biggie. After getting in our room the ac didnt work so we had to move to another wich was fine. Staff wasnt very friendly and the breakfast you have to pay to get isnt worth it, go across the street to Mc Donalds. The only […] good thing about this hotel was the location. We wont stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Great staff, very friendly, nice on site restaurant, a bit of a hike to the mall but not outrageous and about 6 blocks to the subway system... Rooms are a bit boring compared to the lobby but were clean and comfortable....Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for price"
I stayed for three nights with two family members and was very pleased. It's not the greatest hotel we've ever stayed at, but for the price we paid it was fantastic! All of the staff (front desk, housekeeping, restaurant, gift shop, etc.) were great, very helpful and friendly. The hotel is a bit on the outskirts of the city, but close to the Navy Yard […] Metro stop and provides free shuttles to different parts of the city throughout the day. Definitely a bargain, would recommend to friends and will likely stay again in the future. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good hotel and service, location is OK"
The room is clean and the service is good. However, the location is several blocks from famous sights. The neighborhood has quiet few people in the evening.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"very nice!"
this hotel was very nice. the only complaint I have is that our air conditioning unit in our room only blew out out hot air. we didn't complain about it bc we were only there 2 days but other than that it was a very nice hotel. I wish breakfast was free but we knew it wasnt going to be before we booked it. it was very close to everything. we had a lot […] of fun and are planning to come back Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"good location, free parking, but..."
Very close to must-see sights in washington, additional free parking, free wifi sometimes does not work in room, surroundings are only Mcdonald, Chinese carry-out, 7-11,etc. not very convenient for shopping or eating...but not bad except above issues.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Mid-level Classy"
This place is very nice but understaffed. There is one receptionist that has everything under control, the others a bit overwhelmed. I called the front desk for a can opener, and no one every got back to me. The rooms are very nice, clean and business orientated. I did like the look of the lobby, professional. The hotel amenities are minimal but good. […] Don't expect high quality but if your a prude you will be disappointed. The restaurant had the same buffet menu every night of my stay (2), not cool. The only other option, without transportation, is a McDonald's on the adjacent corner, cool if you eat McDonald's. The location is a left turn from the interstate and a short ride to the National Mall. Nice picturesque few of the Capitol Building dome. If you are traveling with family find another hotel. If you are staying a night or two you're good. I would stay here again but I would have to make transportation arrangements for the duration of my stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"view was great, location was not the best"
i went to DC for the inauguration with my son. Capitol Skyline had the best rates for the area i wanted to be in. the room was great!! We had a view of the Washington memorial and the capitol building. my son slept with the curtains open lol there is a mc Donalds across the street and the restaurant inside the hotel was great for the price.only complaint […] is the location. Although it is only 6 blocks from the capitol, you cant really walk there. The hotel is on the complete other side of all the attractions and.there isn't a metro stop close enough to walk to in the freezing weather. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"A decentg hotel with low cost"
It was a satisfactory experience of four nights staying in Capitol Skyline. The room and bed were clean. Service was good. Free breakfest was decent. There was some noise from the street closeby, but tolerable. Parking was convenient. The charge was low comparing to the services provided.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Capitol Skyline Stay"
I whisked my hubby away for a two day trip to our nations Capitol for his birthday. Since we wouldn't be spending any time acutally at the hotel other than showering and sleeping, I opted for a 3 star hotel as the hotels in DC are on the spendy side. The hotel was somewhat conveniently located (about a 6 city-block walk to the National Mall on the end […] by the Capitol Building). Our room was very clean but lacked the normal bathroom personals, which were listed as included in the description of the hotel on hotels.com. Largest complaint was noisy neighbors. Couldn't tell if they were above us, next to us or across the hall, but the walls were not thick enough to deaden the noise. I have to say, I think I would try a different hotel on our next trip to DC. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel was clean, friendly and helpful. The neighborhood was okay in the day but scary at night. We took children and was counting on the McDonalds for convenience but it was closed for renovations. We also used the shuttle to go to the Water front. He dropped us off in a rough part. There was a better location just down the road he could have went […] to but didn't. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great stay at good hotel"
It was a great stay at a good hotel. Checkin was very quick. Hotel room was clean. Parking garage was confusing and reminds you of a horror movie setting. The bathtub was a very slow drain the first two days - maintenance fixed it after we complained. FAMILIES BEWARE! The room had flavored bottled water when we arrived, but there is a charge if you […] use it. Don't leave it out if you have small children. The water is way overpriced and should not be left sitting out for children to grab. Super location. We walked to every attraction and to the Nationals game. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to Capitol, Close to lots of noise"
I'll be clear and to the point: the hotel is perfect, it's 2 subway stops away from the Capitol (subway station is a 5 minute walk) BUT it's near an emergency hub for police and fire/EMS cars. So you'll hear lots and lots of sirenes and all that stuff. The Hotel staff will give you a "quiet" room but it's impossible to not hear those cars racing past […] the hotel. So bring earplugs. Other than that it's a great hotel, clean and nice staff (helpful as well), not too expensive and if you can order via Hotels.com with the free parking offer it's perfect for people with cars, you can park your car in the underground parking garage and drive in and out 24/7.

Everyone at the hotel was very helpful. They even let us check-in before the regular check-in time, as there was a room available. The room was clean. There was no coffee-maker, which I would have preferred. The decor was OK-- a bit retro. The location was not great. We were about a 5 minute walk to the Metro. The neighborhood was often deserted, which […] made me feel a ittle uneasy when we had to walk to and from the station. That Metro station, however was central to most attractions. Perhaps had we chosen to use the bus system, I would have felt safer. If going to a National's game the location is great, as you can walk to the stadium. I would stay here again.

"not worth the $"
not close to transportation, nowhere close to eat aside from mcdonalds, no sights close by, food in hotel eatery was limited and expensive. self parking was too expensive ($25 plus $4.50 parking tax per day)Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Near the sites"
To get to the pool area the kids had to go through a bar area and the pool was like being in Florida for Spring Break. It was loud and noisy all day long. Our air conditioning did not work well, even after maintenance checked it out, so we were hot the whole time we were there. There was a piece of chicken that must have full from a tray left in the […] hall way for at least 4 hours after we let the staff know it was there. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Deceiving"
Not as close to dc (it outside the beltline so there is NO WAY they are 4 blocks from the Verizon Center in Chinatown) as they promote. A block away is a medic/fire truck/police car hub, so expect to be woken up at hours of the night. It's one thing to have an occasional siren in a city like DC, it is completely different when your hear 7-8 in one night. […] The hotel was older and newly redecorated and seemed nice. The down side to the older hotel was there was a severe lack of air conditioning. Wall units in the room did very little too cool us down in the summer. Frankly, I would not recommend ataying here to anyone, unless you care for pool parties. Apparently, that is their forte. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Acceptable, but not the nicest"
The shuttle is one-way, meaning they'll take you to the sites, but not back. If it it shows up at all, which it didn't for us. Ended up walking to the Mall, which wasn't too bad, especially considering you have to expect a lot of walking when you go to DC. The pool was nice, when they weren't having a party. We were on the third floor, which was not […] high enough to see over the trees for a view of the capital building. Only food in the area is McDonald's, unless you want to eat at the hotel bar.

"Paid for a KING got a double bed 10 minutes later"
Front desk said Room 4-- was a Queen size bed and all they had but I measured it with tape measure and was 53 inches wide and all web sites show a double at 54 inches and queen at 60 inches. Left messages and called several times and could never talk to a manager. At breakfast we picked up some PLASTIC ORANGES but no real ones. Tea bags behind counter […] but attendant too busy to hand 3 feet. Only hot food was oatmeal and only fruit was apples and plastic fruit. PARKING is very expensive!!! Manager's phone message says we are here for your 100% satisfaction but in my case after 5 days still haven't had one call back! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
