Review of Hilton Washington Dulles Airport 4*

This is, simply put, among the top two or three Hilton's I have ever stayed in anywhere. I stayed here one evening on business when arriving late into Dulles before setting out to other nearby Virginia locations. Check in was not overly prompt with only one desk manned but it was exceedingly professional on check in. I was offered my preferred type of room on the executive lounge floor as a Hilton Gold. The lounge offered discounted adult beverages (my favourite kind) and some nibbles, as well as a full breakfast which was very nice. The lounge bartender was very pleasant and friendly; a hospitable host to be sure. The room was an excellent size and was totally spotless. Nothing out of repair and everything in like new condition, bathroom spotless and fully stocked with towels and other amenities. I has not had much to eat that day so found myself in the Cardinal Lounge for a couple more beverages of the adult variety and some crab stuffed potato skins that were served with an exceedingly tasty hoisin BBQ sauce. I didn't find the lounge to be exorbitantly priced as many hotel lounges are. They had some beer on tap (a selection of 5 or 6) which seemed to be about 7 a pint and I believe the appetizer was $12, which is about the same as you pay in mid market restaurants anywhere. The bartender was also courteous and professional. I frankly can't fault this hotel on any of its hard or soft product other than check in taking a few extra minutes. It was quite easy to get to the 267 toll road in the morning on departure but was in a bit of a quieter commercial area which meant I didn't hear a thing all night. I'd happily stay here again on my next visit to the DC area.
