The Liaison Capitol Hill - An Affinia Hotel

Liaison's fine

Nice staff, great lobby/bar, cool decor, nice rooms, but not quite as good as Kimpton Hotels in the DC area. (Palomar costs less and is super swanky.) Parking fees, ridiculous ($45/night). Small tub, always a bummer. Great toiletry products. Bad, greenish lighting in hallways. Nobody looks good in that light!

Cool hotel in a great location.

This was a great stay in the heart of DC. The rooms are very cool and artsy. The staff were friendly and helpful with all our requests - hard to find these days. The downstairs lobby area is always packed. The hotel is within walking distance to the Capitol - you can see it from the front of the hotel. Overall a great stay in a good location. We took the train in and Union Station is in walking distance. What we didn't like was the restaurant, Art & Soul. A lot of hype given the Oprah connection, but very disappointing food with high prices. We ate two meals there and both were disappointments. Too bad, but there are MANY places to eat in the area that are REALLY good. Overall pleasant experience.

Better Than I Thought

Okay, the absolute best part is the restaurant where I dined strictly by accident. Absoltely make it a must do. The staff is nice, but they do not answer the phone The bad stuff: parking is $45 dollars which is insane. Also, the rooms need to have someone really scrutinizing go through them for repair and cleanliness, especially the bathrooms.

Great location-would stay here again

Excellent location. A few blocks from Union Station. Many restaurants in Union Station-all types and prices. We did take out from a few places and they were good. The restaurant Art and Soul in the hotel is expensive-but comparable to other hotels. There is no complimentary breakfast like other places have. There is a free business center/computer room with 2 computers. Easy walking distance to the Smithsonian museums, Supreme court, the Capitol Building, etc. Easy acess to Metro, circulator bus, and Amtrak from this hotel. Room was comfortable, especially the bed and pillows. Large flat-screen TV but not a lot of channels. Watch out for the bottles of water-I drank two of them before reading the label-they are $4.00 each. No coffee maker in room but if you request one, one will be sent up. Same goes for a small refrigerator. No microwaves. All in all a good place to stay.

Overall a good experience and would stay again

Congenial and helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, quiet, convenient to Union Station and Capitol Hill, with a favorable in-town rate.

Cool Sixties Vibe

We felt like we were stepping into a James Bond movie or at least an episode of Get Smart. Loved the decor, the staff was wonderful and accommodating. And you can't beat the location, the Capitol is in view, it's a short walk to Union Station and downtown--and we ran every day on The Mall.

Valet Service

The only problem I had with the hotel was that the valet parking was 45.95 per night. I didn't find out about that when I booked the room but after when I received another confirmation. I believe that price is just too high.

Nice hotel - too expensive

Hotel was nice, but way too expensive, especially considering the outrageous parking fee

Great Room for the money

I loved the decor of the room, especially the beds. Very close to the train station and a short taxi ride to the convention center and other key locations.

Liaison Capitol Hill--Affina Hotel

Good hotel for the money we paid. It would not have been worth the huge price it originally goes for. Parking in DC is very expensive. There was a slight musty odor when we arrived, but when the air conditioning was turned on,the odor disappeared.

convenient comfortable

comfortable bed. free internet only downstairs in the lobby. How about a coffee maker in the room?

I felt like I was in an episode of the hills

The room itself was great, however, the pool was off limits on Sundays for a pool party that apparently took place every Sunday in the summer. This was not readily advertised and had i had my daughter with me, I would have been extremely upset. Overall, the hotel was very nice but more suited for young singles.
