Holiday Inn Express WASHINGTON DC N-SILVER SPRING by IHG

Pretty nice experience. Huge selection for complimentary breakfast. Rooms were clean. I left some belongings behind and they held it for me so I was able to retrieve them quickly.

Stayed in a renovated room (renovation still happening on lower floors) which was clean, bright, with a good size fridge and microwave. Reservation, room and security staff were helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was decent but abruptly shut down at 9:30 sharp and snatched away from multiple guests standing over the buffet to get food. The lighting in the elevators was far too dark!

I'm not into rating or reviews, but I must bring to attention a couple of things. Let me first point out that during check in the staff was very helpful and courteous. The young man behind the desk explained everything clearly, including the renovations that the hotel was going thru. The room was flawless. Clean and comfortable. The two things I want to point out is one, around 8:45 am housekeeping entered the room. Not a huge problem, but something that should be addressed. Especially if check out time is 11am. The second incident was a bit more. After leaving, a couple blocks away my girlfriend realized that she thought she left her small purse in the room. We returned and told the young lady behind the front desk, and she escorted us to the room in which we retrieved the purse, but as she passed us and we thanked her I clearly heard her say, this is f-ing bulls**t. I don't know or understand where that came considering that the checkout went as smooth as the checking. I'm not going to get into detail about what should happen or steps that should be taken, but it is another issue that should be addressed. I would like to also say that this incident will not change my mind in the future about staying at this hotel. It's a great hotel with reasonable prices. It wasn't my first stay and it surely won't be my last. Thank you.

My room key kept malfunctioning and we had to have a key cards activated each night of our stay. They rooms were handy cleaned and just the over appearances of the building was a turn off. We won’t be staying there again!

Great hotel overall. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was hot and good every morning. Hotel is in great location walking distance to stores and restaurants.

A clean room with a reasonably firm mattress. Overall, the bedroom and the bathroom were about comparable to a European style hotel - rather small by US standards. Hotel parking was limited, but there was a public garage adjacent to the property.
