Holiday Inn Express Washington DC Downtown by IHG

Breakfast was sufficient to start the day off. There was enough to fill up on. No veggie sausages to memory. But useful/good to be included in the rate. Good breakfast staff. The room was excellent. Good size and quality. Floor to ceiling windows gave a lovely view of the street/area. Great to have a fridge.

Trying to use the valet parking was complicated. Traffic gets backed up behind you which resulted in them honking at me and cursing. Once inside checking in was easy, the room seemed perfect and clean plus the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and Dion or Theon (my boyfriend and I heard him say his name differently which I wish I would've clarified) was simply THE BEST! He is seriously why I would stay here again, he treated everyone like family, was so helpful, talked with everyone and not only made everyone smile but I believe he made everyone's day better. My only complaint is if you are using the sofa bed, be aware it is not pre made nor are the linens in the room. So at midnight after returning from our event I had to go back to the lobby to get the linens and make the bed which was frustrating.

Our view was phenomenal, with full windows on both sides of the room. We were on the 10th floor and on a corner! We heard car honking every now and then but no noise from other hotel guests around us. The staff was friendly whenever we needed something.

The room was spacious, plenty of outlets for charging devices, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also nice with a walk in shower. I also like that there are ice and water machines easily located and available. The fitness room was nice with enough equipment to get in a decent workout.

Breakfast was very good. The location is nice and close to train station, cafes and restaurants. The room and facilities were clean. Room was quiet with a very nice street view. Ventilation and AC worked great.
