"Melody had talked to my mother and travel partner for this trip about our questions prior to going. She met us at check in and it was a great addition to all of the very friendly staff. The breakfast buffet was ok but not worthy of the cost in my opinion."

"My husband and I loved this Holiday Inn!! The staff were so great and its very close to L'Enfant Metro station. The ONLY reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 was because the bed was as hard as a rock. I've had pallets on the floor more comfortable. Everything else was great."
