Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/US Capitol |

The adjustable bed features the cutting-edge Garden Sleep System, bedding of 100% New Zealand virgin wool, a mattress that adjusts to the contours of your body, and a dial that can adjust the firmness of your mattress to suit your sleeping style.
The room also has complimentary high speed Internet access-both wired and wireless. You have to use your room card key for elevator access to your room.
Room 1113 |
Its on-site Garden Grille & Bar restaurant serves breakfast (6:30-11 AM, omelettes, pancakes, French toast, etc.), a la carte lunch and dinner, and room service (there is an added 20% fee along with a US$2.50 delivery charge). How I wish that they offered complimentary breakfast. The hotel is located next to a Harris Teeters convenience store (for grocery, beer wine, hot food), across from a CVS Drugstore, as well a Starbucks and Pot Belly Restaurant. Outside the hotel, there were always homeless people asking for money.

The fitness room has 2 ellipticals, 2 treadmills, 1 bike, a weight machine, full set of dumb bells (5-50 lbs.), weight benches, and mats (you can also borrow a Stay Fit Kit from the hotel for an in-room workout).

They also offer valet parking (US$38/day), luggage storage, daily maid service, bell service, self service laundry (one washer and two dryers), dry cleaning and in-house bike rentals (to make it easy for guests to tour the Capitol on two wheels).
The Hilton Garden Inn is off Highway 50, one block from the New York Ave/Florida Ave/Gallaudet University red line metro station. Several restaurants and nightclubs are within walking distance.

It's also one mile to Union Station (the transportation hub of Washington, DC and home to Amtrak). Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is a seven-mile drive.
