I stayed here through Hotwire and had a mixed experience. Overall it was very good value for a discounted rate, but I think it would be very overpriced if you have to pay the full room rates.
Three things particularly stood out to me about the Capital Hilton. The location couldn't be much better. You are at K Street & 16th, which is a very short walk from the White House, several Metro stations and tons of restaurants, shops and attractions. The second was the beds. It was definitely the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Finally, the restaurants on the main floor were fantastic. A little expensive, to be sure, but I had a meal there every day and they were all perfect.
Now, for the negatives. The rooms are not particularly special for a 4-star hotel. I didn't have any issues with the service, although I didn't have much of any contact with the staff other than check-in and one time when a staff member asked to see my room key in the lobby (I was dressed in t-shirt & shorts, in contrast to most people wearing business clothes) which was fine by me. The valet parking was another negative. It seemed a bit disorganized, was quite expensive, and it took a long time to get my car the one time I actually needed it.
