Thank you for choosing our hotel and writing a review. You are correct, we are in an ideal location for visiting the museums and monuments of Washington, DC. It is indeed in a quiet, safe neighborhood. I think we have the best of both worlds here at the Holiday Inn Capitol; quiet, safe neighborhood, walking distance to many DC sites and only a quick METRO ride to a variety of restaurants and night life. I do understand though that like yourself, some guests would like more dinning options around the hotel. I hope your grandson had a good visit and that you will visit us again.
