One particular member of staff was so rude. We came for breakfast from another hotel after arriving in Washington. When we went to pay, the card machine was not working, we tried 6 cards in total and the woman blamed us, and made out that we were trying to eat for free. I have never been treated that way by someone who serves food before. When another member of staff came, it worked straight away!

My daughter lives a block away, so we came in for breakfast before she left for work. The two of us ordered four items, and three came out as completely wrong – like scrambled eggs instead of over easy, only thing they got right was an avocado. When we pointed out to our waitress, she grunted in a disinterested way, picked up the plates and walked away. No apology, acknowledgment, anything. We will never set foot in that place again.

Very ordinary, but convenient if you're staying in the hotel. Took a lot of trouble advising on gluten free food.

We stay at this hotel several times when we are in Washington D.C. and their breakfast buffet at this Hilton Garden Inn is very good. They have an omelette station where you can have yours made to order, the thick breakfast sausage was the best I've ever had anywhere, and the cut up natural fresh fruit was consistently great day after day. There were also assorted breads, cereals, and hash brown potatoes that looked good too for those who enjoy carbohydrates and sugary items for those who may want to gain weight:)
We would hardly recommend it for a hearty breakfast.

Stopped for breakfast. Food was ok. Western omelette was good, hash browns were cold. But our waitress was AMAZING!

Pretty poor hotel restaurant. The breakfast “buffet” is an overpriced version of what you’d find in many hotel lobbies. The a la carte options weren’t stellar either—I tried the Benedict and got rubbery poached eggs with bland hollandaise. If you’re staying in the hotel, go to the cafe across the street for better options. Or walk a few blocks to Tatte for a very good breakfast.

Ordered the Benedict. Disappointed for two reasons:
1. The yolk was fully cooked, not runny.
2. Instead of the English muffin, they use a hash brown. I didn't get to try it (see 1. above), so maybe it's actually great. Nonetheless, I find that substitution odd.
The wait staff, on the other hand, was prompt and helpful. When I explained my issue (see 1. above), she tried to make it right.

The service was great. For breakfast, I ordered egg Benedict and was a bit disappointed with the overdone eggs. It did however taste good.

Love it.
Perhaps it was because we walked in during the last 45 minutes of breakfast, but our server clearly didn't want us there. Breakfast was a buffet, so there was no cause to be less than welcoming. The food was fine, nothing special. They had a good fruit selection.
