"Such a great hotel, clean and helpful staff. location, location, location!!!!"

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel was very nice. Great location. Well maintained. The only problem we had was accessing the valet parking. The GPS instructions were not successful in navigating us to the front door. We ended up driving in circles and mistakenly entered a public parking lot under the hotel before finally calling the front desk for help. The attendant had to give us turn by turn directions."
