I stayed here with a co-worker when it was called Holiday Inn on the Hill for a business conference & Capitol Hill visits back in February 2008. When I went to write a review for Holiday Inn on the Hill all the posts were suddenly gone? After some research I found they switched names. On a positive note the location was great in relation to the Capitol. Our room had just been redone, or so they said, new beds and linens old door frames and curtains of different sizes, also we had a safe in the room but no fridge? The problem we had was all the construction going on our floor and tripping over the carpenters in the hallway, trim work hanging and the smell of paint and all that goes with remodeling. I guess it was greed to fill rooms, our floor should have been closed while remodeling.
The pool was obiviously closed that time of year being a rooftop one and the workout room was up there also but inside and with no one around a little scary if travelling alone. The conference rooms were nice and the food we had there during the conference was good. Dissapointed that both the lounge and restaurant were closed at the same time while we were there.
I know previous posters under Holiday Inn on the Hill complained of noise from the nearby firehouse, we didn't have that as much as the heating unit kept kicking on in the middle of the night and was quite noisy, and construction started at 5:30/6:00am when we were trying to sleep.
Overall clean, and they were helpful to hold our bags after checkout but I was puzzled that the conference discount rate was 250.00 a night for what the hotel had to offer us at the time we were there it wasn't worth it. I would be interested to see how it is after they finish all the construction, that is when they finish?
