Holiday Inn Washington-Central/White House, an IHG Hotel

Holiday Inn Washington-Central/White House, an IHG Hotel

5/5 Excellent
Great housekeeping
"This hotel was clean. Good location. Room was cleaned daily. Poor TV set up. You would enter a number and get a totally different station. Also parking was bad. Very narrow alley to enter underground parking. Very tiny spaces to park. Hotel also ran out of spaces one night. Food was not the greatest. Had breakfast, eggs had no taste, sausages were as hard a a rock."
