Located a 10- to 15-minute drive from
downtown attractions in Washington, D.C., this mid-range Hilton Garden Inn is mildly
stylish and reasonably priced. Highlights include an indoor pool, free local
shuttle, 24-hour fitness center, an on-site restaurant, and free parking (a
rarity in the D.C. area). This hotel is a good option for tourists in this price range, and
there’s also plenty to do in the immediate neighborhood. Those looking for a hotel right by the airport may want to compare rates with Hyatt Regency Crystal City, but note that its outdoor pool is seasonal.

Scene
A bright and contemporary chain hotel just outside Washington, D.C.
Built in 2009, this Hilton Garden Inn
doesn’t have much wow factor, but it does have all the basics for a
comfortable stay. The most stylish part of the property is the lobby, which is
airy and pleasant, with high ceilings, potted plants, a gas fireplace, and
contemporary furniture in pastel shades of green and blue. Free cookies, water,
and snacks are provided in the evenings. The rooms are unmemorable but there’s
little to offend; they are clean, spacious, and all the standard amenities are
there.Next to the lobby is a restaurant and
bar with lime green furniture and an outdoor patio area. Breakfast is available
for a small fee, and it includes made-to-order omelets and a buffet. Aside from
breakfast, the restaurant is only open in the evenings. The bar offers a daily
happy hour featuring low-cost burgers.
Location
Ten minutes from Washington in the lively suburb of Shirlington, Virginia
The hotel is located just off I-395 in
the Washington suburb of Shirlington, Virginia. The immediate neighborhood is
home to dozens of great restaurants, a movie theater, shopping mall, and two
playhouse theatres. There’s also a four-mile running path, playground, and bike
share kiosk right outside the hotel. An Enterprise Rent-A-Car is one block away.
Monuments and museums on the National Mall are only 10 minutes away by car, and
hotel parking is free, which makes this Hilton Garden Inn a good choice for
tourists on a budget. Unfortunately the nearest metro station is three miles
away, but the hotel offers free shuttle service 24-hours a day.- Six-minute drive to Pentagon City subwaystation (Blue and Yellow lines)
Rooms
Generic rooms with mini-fridges, microwaves, and Keurig coffeemakers
The hotel’s 143 rooms and suites feature run-of-the-mill
decor in shades of beige and pea green. Each is furnished with white bedding,
simple wooden furniture, framed reproductions of abstract art paintings, and
busy brown carpeting. Rooms are fairly spacious and come with one king or two queen
beds, a flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, microwave, Keurig coffeemaker, and free
Wi-Fi. A handful of One-Bedroom Suites are available with one king bed, a double
sofa bed, and a bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower.
Features
This hotel has all the necessities -- pool, gym, restaurant, store, and business center.
This Hilton Garden Inn has a solid
range of amenities. The first floor is home to a good-size fitness center,
business center, and a convenience store with microwaveable dinners, wine,
beer, and snacks (all open 24 hours). The lobby area also houses the Garden Grille
& Bar, which is open for breakfast (buffet and limited a la carte options)
and dinner. Other perks include free parking, room service (limited hours), a
free 24-hour shuttle that runs within a two-mile radius (including to DCA
airport and the Pentagon City Metro station), and free cookies, water, and
snacks every evening. The hotel also has a hot tub and heated indoor pool,
but it’s quite small and looks more like a lap pool. The Hyatt Regency Crystal City has an outdoor pool that's larger but it's only open seasonally.
