Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall by IHG

Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The room was loacted in a convenient part of DC to Washington Mall, and museums. Unfortunately, we had to evacuate our room for a couple of hours due to a threat at FEMA and the Department of Education. The hotel provided complementary bottled water and popsicles upon being let back in to our rooms. This was appreciated since DC was under a heat warning at the time. The hotel is very nice, the room was exceptional. I would definitely stay there again if I was in DC."
