"The hotel is in a great location "

The hotel is in a great location for walking to many landmarks and restaurants. It is in a safe area. Love the convenience of the cab stand right outside the front door. That's why I stayed here. I've stayed here three times once about 20 years ago and twice in the last year. Staff was friendly when we checked in.

"Security—kerrie"

Security Guard —Kerrie —found my elderly husband who had exited from the elevator on the wrong floor(when fire alarm went off July 3). His “detective” security instincts were right on target He asked all the pertinent questions of me and located my husband—as you can imagine I was very worried and upset—/Kerrie is an asset to the Holiday Inn Hotel and the main reason I am coming back— He was courteous—he had excellent communication skills and professionally groomed —Kerrie truly is an asset to your hotel in Washington DC!

"Great staff"

The rooms were clean, the decor was beautiful, but the staff was superior. Keeda in reception helped me over the phone and in person. In the restaurant, Susan and a female host collaborated to seat our very large party and they noticed my 9 year old granddaughter was wearing a birthday pin, so they brought her a small cheesecake with a candle on it and sang happy birthday to her! The two lovely people at the concierge desk in the lobby were both knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. In fact, the gentleman helped us to unfold a new stroller—he jumped right in! There were others, too. Tell them all thank you!
