Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Holiday Inn Washington-Central/White House enjoys a superb location, making it easy to walk to many major attractions. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some featuring a microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge. A rooftop pool and complimentary guest laundry on the 9th floor add to the convenience; however, some guests have noted issues with cleanliness. The well-stocked breakfast buffet with options like eggs and waffles is generally well-received, and 24-hour complimentary tea, coffee, and water are a nice touch.

Acceptable Location, but Several Issues

great locationbroken toilet seatunacceptable housekeeping
the location is acceptable and provides walking distance to places of interest.
I found multiple issues . the bathroom door was off its hinges, and the toilet seat was broken. Engineering was called, but they left without fixing it or communicating with us. there was also a do not disturb sign on the door, yet housekeeping entered, turning off the a/c, so the room became uncomfortably warm.

The parking fee seemed high to me. It cost quite a bit daily. I was also disappointed that I couldn't get a late check-out. I am an IHG member and often get late check-out, but I was told the hotel was too busy. This was inconvenient as I had hoped to relax a bit longer before traveling home, so that was a letdown.
