I would like to visit Washington DC again and would select the Washington Hilton L'enfant again.
Pros:

I liked continental breakfast. There was a large selection including bagels, salmon, and cream cheese. There are fast food restaurants in the basement area. The hotel is near to the wharf in one direction and near to National Mall in other direction. We walked to see cherry blossoms in Tidal Basin. For walking the neighborhood around the hotel was clean and pleasant and felt safe.

Cons:

I didn't like the shower in our room. Water pressure was too low, but we managed.

Pros:

Расположение, очень удобные кровати, чистейшее постельное белье, прекрасный завтрак.

Cons:

Все было прекрасно, но если вы добавите тапочки, халаты в номера и овощи на завтрак (самые простые - огурцы, помидоры, морковь, зелень, кукуруза), то будет на 100 балов из 10. Мне очень не хватило овощей. А так, все было прекрасно. Очень приветливый и внимательный персонал, завтрак вкусный, продукты очень хорошего качества, а соленый лосось…. Ммммм…. Прелесть!!

Pros:

A small buffet with limited choices for four (2 adults, 2 teens) was over $100.00! It was slightly better than the free continental breakfast you get for free at most other hotels, but not worth nearly the cost!

Cons:

It was way too expensive for the meager selection offered/provided!
