Image of the Tripadvisor rating Charged for “Early Check in”

Sep 9, 2024 Tom F West Chester, Ohio

We arrived at around 10:30 am with rooms available. They charge $50 more for “early check in” before 2:00pm. I’m a Hilton Diamond member and have never encountered this. Also, the restaurant charged me $71.50 in error. I’m currently disputing it.

I checked out of my room Today after a three night stay. Let’s just say I was so happy to leave! I’ve stayed at this hotel one time in the past and had a much better experience the first time. Upon exiting the elevators on the 4th floor, one is hit with an overwhelming smell of cleaning fluid and what smells like urine. The room assigned to me on the 4th floor was dusty, smelly and in need of renovations. The bathroom door was flimsy and the rug was filthy. Bedding had stains and there was dust on every surface. I had to disinfect everything with Lysol wipes as I didn’t trust that the room had been cleaned. The worst part was waking up this morning to 4 huge welts on my skin from bug bites. I know that the bites came from within the room as I didn’t leave the hotel all day yesterday due to being at the hotel for a conference. I stood in line to inform the front desk of my experience but the line was so long and I had to head to the airport. If I must attend this conference again next year, I will insist on staying elsewhere. I should also mention that the conference was put on by the federal government which means taxpayers are paying for this subpar lodging. Hilton has really gone downhill. Never again will I stay here!

I’m rating the Washington Hilton a 1 star for one reason alone; no stair access. As a person with severe claustrophobia, elevators cause me great anxiety. I stayed here for a recent conference and was given using the elevator as the only option to access my room. You can enter all staircases from the ground floor. However, once in the staircase, you are not able to enter the door to any of the floors from the staircase. Every door on each floor is locked. When I inquired about this from the hotel staff, I was told the doors were locked for ‘security’ reasons. This makes no sense. Anyone from off the street can take the elevator to any floor. Also, the staircases are accessible to anyone that wants to go down from their floor. The problem is that once you enter the staircase from your floor, the only way out is the ground floor. To me this is a greater risk seeing that if the ground floor is blocked for some reason, you cannot exit onto any other floors and are stuck in the staircase. I have stayed at many hotels in the DC area and over a hundred hotels in my lifetime and have never experienced a situation like this where a patron had zero access to stairs to reach their room. Lack of access to the staircases caused my entire stay to be filled with anxiety. Read less

The breakfast buffet is amazing, the food is superb and the service is outstanding. Our server Mei is a true gem -simply the best! Friendly, attentive, courteous, she set a positive tone that made our long days and stay special. Furthermore Askalu our hostess, Araceli, Ana, Josephine, Zufan, Li Wang epitomize customer service! The buffet was fresh each day, beautifully displayed the food by Sonia and Yvonne. Highest compliments to all the chefs (do not know them all but grateful to Antonio and Lazano). The exceptional service is a true testament to the leadership, the managers Walter A, Chamath G, and Stephane. It is our good fortune to have such a positive experience based upon the teamwork and to the loyal employees who go the extra mile to ease the stress and strain of business travel. The pool and fitness center are amazing, could not ask for better. The hallways are outdated but the rooms are clean, immaculate and comfortable. Appreciate housekeeping and all you do! Read less
