Excellent place to stay in Bethesda, Maryland

I hadn’t stayed here for many years, and was delighted to discover a new, refurbished place to stay in Bethesda. The staff, including Nara and Erica, were professional, friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful! The room was very clean, and I look forward to my next visit. I recommend the Hilton Garden Inn.

Terrible customer service

Didn’t even make it to the hotel due to unforeseen circumstances and the manager and staff were completely non-empathetic and would not budge to help me out at all. The wrong location from our family was booked and I attempted 2 minutes later to rectify the situation and they still charged me for the night. Might I add my flight was delayed 6 hours and due to cancellations took us 2 days to get there so a little grace would’ve gone a long way! I can see if it were a different company but same company one listed as Hilton downtown and one us capitol-easy to make an error in the current situation Luckily the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Washington has excellent customer service and exceeded our expectations and turned our trip around. I was promised a message back from the manager-and nothing..i highly suggest not booking this hotel and to book the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Washington much better staff and location and you know, if you run into any problems, you will be taking care of!

Pool and hot tub not working

I’ve stayed here before and the room and staff are nice. Was able to check in very early and previously the hot tub and pool were working, but not this trip! No warning and it was the main reason I stayed here this trip so I’m bummed and making this review to warn others since it was not mentioned before booking!

Soft beds, no hot water

Beds were soft and comfortable. The pool was not warm and the shower was not hot just lukewarm. Our room was not cleaned every day while we were there, we had to ask for cleaning. The complimentary water bottles were appreciated.

Restaurant/Bar staff an asset to the Hotel

Location is fine for uber pickups. Restaurant area not comfortable to spend an evening with limited choice of drinks. Bed comfy but room dated. Carpet hadn't been cleaned as peanuts on carpet beside bed! Electric mirror in bathroom was damaged but did work. Staff in restaurant/bar area extremely friendly and an asset to the hotel. Reception staff not very welcoming and appeared to make you feel like you were pestering them, not just the once but every time I asked a question. This Hilton is not to the usual standard, however I wouldn't tell people to stay away, only to not expect the usual Hilton standard.

Excellent hotel that provided all we needed for our stay in Washington.

Another hotel that we thought was a bit out of the way but we were only 20 minutes walk from Capitol Hill, and the Noma Metro station was only a couple of minutes walk away for areas further afield. The room was really comfy and had all we needed for a comfortable stay. The staff could have been a bit more helpful but they were kept busy

Easy check-in, baggage handler at door, a real pleasure after a long flight from Hawaii. Restaurant gives large portions of whatever you order, try the fish tacos.

Wouldn't visit again until it has been refurbished.

A grotty hotel not up to usual Hilton standards. The main issue was the lack of cleanliness in all of public areas. The staff were friendly and my room was clean if tired.
