Top Washington Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Chevy Chase Pavilion

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Chevy Chase Pavilion

8/10 Good
"The location above the Friendship Heights Metro station can't be beat. The breakfast omelet maker and two free drinks at the evening social hour were terrific amenities. The suite layout is much preferred to a regular hotel room. Our one problem was inconsistent room cleaning. Our room was not clened every day, and we never knew when we would receive this service. The hotel clearly had a staff and organizational issue. Next stay we would give them the hours we wanted service for each day of our stay."
