  • I'm not usually a Hilton person. I tend to stay at Marriott, but this Hilton feature where I can pick my room is soooo cool. 8

  • The price for ES has continued to be higher in the past couple of years. Our last two stays at ES were not good. Customer service was not good and when we arrived the last time at 8pm at night, we walked into a dirty room that hadn't been cleaned. :( Not good after a long day of travel. 7

No reviewer has yet described a room, floor or aspect specifically enough to act on at this property. Room intelligence appears here the moment they do.

  • The staff as well never seemed too happy either. 7
  • Still the Embassy suites charges very high prices compared to places nearby, so I dont know how they get away with this if the place is dirty and staff are rude. 7
  • I'm not usually a Hilton person. I tend to stay at Marriott, but this Hilton feature where I can pick my room is soooo cool. 8
Noise2 mentions
  • I recommend picking a room overlooking 10th St or K St. It's not loud - traffic quiets down in the evenings. It will be the best view (your other options are alley view). 8

Food3 mentions
  • None of us felt the happy hour and breakfast were anything to write home about. I remember the breakfast being especially bad (cold food, ran out of food?). 7
  • I will agree the breakfast could be a bit smoother in it's presentation. 7
  • Free Breakfast and free happy hour are great. 6
