Too big, too corporate
Just to be clear I love Hilton products and try to stay in Hilton hotels whenever I can. I am a huge fan of the Capital Hilton and have stayed there while in DC many times. My client put me up at the Washington Hilton this past weekend. I checked in around 10 and was told that they would not honor my request for a king sized bed or a late check out as they were full. My room while very small was adequate but very far from the main elevators. My biggest complaint with the room is that counter space was pretty much nonexistent, a problem for a women business traveler. The breakfast buffet was lovely. When I went to check out and store my luggage I was told there was a $1.00 charge. Really? That was a first and I thought nervy. The conference room was adequate and lunch was fine. Overall it was OK but next time I am staying at the Capital Hilton.
