8.6/10 Excellent! (2,862 reviews)

My family and I enjoyed the location of the hotel. It was close to the subway transportation, while being walkable to the wharf, many restaurants, and a lot of the local museums. The room was comfortable and fine. We were a little upset to find out that breakfast was not included. The room was kept cleanly, but the TV had minimal channels and the sink faucet was difficult to completely turn off and had a link all over the sink area daily. There was not enough staff in the restaurant so service was slow. while the buffet was good, I felt it was overpriced and set up Ben in the $15 range instead of $25. Use of checkout and check-in was great and I would recommend this hotel as long as you know that breakfast is not included at this Holiday Inn

I had a medical procedure in the Baltimore area, with a 5 AM call time to arrive at the facility. The staff was wonderful, accommodating my late check-in, and I was able to have a successful procedure that morning.

The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, administered by the National Park Service, is located at 1411 W Street, SE, in Anacostia, a neighborhood east of the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, D.C.. Established in 1988 as a National Historic Site, the site preserves the home and estate of Frederick Douglass, one of the most prominent African Americans of the 19th century. Douglass lived in this house, which he named Cedar Hill, from 1877 until his death in 1895. Perched high on a hilltop, the site also offers a sweeping view of the U.S. Capitol and the Washington, D.C., skyline.
