“The location certainly puts you within walking distance of the Air and Space Museum and the National Mall. It seems the noise could be a problem, though, impacting the quality of sleep. I appreciate that kids can eat free, a definite perk for families visiting the capital.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Holiday Inn Washington Capitol-National Mall's location proves ideal for exploring, with the Air and Space Museum just a block away and the National Mall within easy walking distance, also close to the L'Enfant Plaza metro station.

An acceptable stay!

convenient access rooftop pool room request train noise

The hotel has convenient access to the Smithsonian and surrounding attractions. It's a plus! I appreciated the rooftop pool since it was nice.

I requested a room away from the elevators. I was given a room just a short walk from them! The trains run throughout the night, and I felt as well as heard them.

The pool hours were a bit short for my liking. i wish they stayed open later than 8pm, it would be so cool. also, the breakfast was expensive. the walls seemed pretty thin. I could hear noises from other rooms.
