Lost my reservation, which appears to have been Travelocity's fault. Hilton had some hidden fees, like $75 for valet overnight parking and a $25 resort fee (though the do credit your room $25 for food and drink at the hotel)

Better Than You'd EVER expect
I'm tired of business travel, not all that fond of DC, and the weather was fn awful. With all this noted, the Cap Hilton kept me safe, warm, and comfortable. Plus, on the insane scale of rates, it was a bit of a bargain.

Good
I stayed for 2 nights. The room was spacious and clean, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. However, the bathtub was blocked, causing slow drainage. It would be great to have breakfast included in the booking.
