Super pricey for an average hotel breakfast buffet that is usually included almost anywhere else in this chain.

Extremely overpriced and mediocre food. $4 for filter coffee and $4.50 for orange juice. $16 for a breakfast portion.

One of the best public community services in the center of Capital Federal Administration.Come to this, many places do offer public restrooms/ bathrooms for convenience.This place is not one of them. However. They don’t mainly have them. One associate said. No bathroom. Get to transfer to the next destination course. Do not come there. If you , he, she, they want bathrooms, take it somewhere else differently. Avoid coming to this spot.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn on our recent trip to DC and were happy that there was a restaurant on-site for mornings when we had time for breakfast. We were promptly seated by the cheerful host both times we ate breakfast on-site. We were not interested in the buffet; experience with buffets in other hotels hasn't been great as usually the food offerings are saturated with sodium and fat. We ordered off of the menu in spite of servers who did everything they could to get us to go to the buffet. Our cooked-to-order breakfasts were good; just the right amount of food so as to not leave the table feeling overstuffed. Service was not great; a cardinal rule of food service is that a server loops back to the table a few minutes after serving the entree just to make sure that guests have everything they need. Didn't happen here. We would eat breakfast at the hotel again, more for the convenience than anything else.

They have a great breakfast buffet for about $20 per person. There was a wide variety of food and it they kept it nice and piping hot. You can also order eggs from the kitchen, if you'd rather have an omelet or fried eggs instead of the scrambled that are on the breakfast bar. Great service with a smile, and as we left, they thanked us for coming.

Freezing cold! Average food, for a relatively high price, at least for breakfast. Much of the staff cannot communicate properly in English. No fresh orange juice, no real coffee, etc.

The secice and atmosphere was great but the food was overpriced for what you get. Essentially equivalent to a continental breakfast for over $20.

I normally don't eat breakfast in the hotel restaurants unless it included in my stay, but since the two experiences I had at some of the local diners were a total miss, I figured I would give this place a try and I am so glad I did. This restaurant was a breath of fresh air in terms of atmosphere, service, and food. My server Mario was friendly and very attentive right from the start. I ordered the Veggie Skillet off the limited sized menu rather than doing the buffett style, and I was pleasantly surprised by the nice portion I got and how great it tasted. The home fries that came with the order had some flavor to them. The establishment is very clean, and the service was super fast. I'd agree that the prices are a tad high, including the cost for a cup of coffee, but it was nice that they give you a cup so you can take some with you when you leave. I definitely recommend checking this place out, and I will be sure to come in again the next time I stay at the Holiday Inn rather than waste my time and money at one of the local places.

As guests staying at the Holiday Inn, we ate breakfast here 4 mornings during our stay. Each time the service and food were very good. The buffet breakfast is a pricey at $19.95 for adults, but the discounted kids price (12 and under) of $4.25 is a real bargain. Scrambled eggs, bacon (some of the best I've ever had), sausage, french toast, fruit, bagels, pastries, toast, yogurt, etc. Drinks are included in the buffet price. There is also a menu that can be ordered from, but nothing is less than $16, so it doesn't make much sense to get anything other than the buffet.

Food tasted like it was microwaved. Understaffed. Poor Way too high a price for quality and service received.

Breakfast buffet is on the pricey side for what it offers. $19.99 per person. Options include oatmeal, cold cereal, toast, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, seasoned hash browns. For larger families McDonald’s would be a better option and is just a few doors down.

Jeanette Higgins

We reviewed the buffet and moved on. The limited selections were not appealing to us.

Jesse Reed
