The Capitol Hilton Hotel in DC Doesn't Want You To Work Out

April 23, 2008 at 2:59 PM | by juliana | 3 Comments

Because if the Capitol Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC really wanted you to work out, they wouldn't ask you to cough up $10 to use their fitness center.

This is what happened recently to a hotel guest:

They charged ten dollars for the gym. Is that normal in the States now? The whole place was pretty mouldy to be honest. Unfriendly and inefficient service.

May we add that this was a hotel guest who was staying there and not some schmoe off the street?

Typically we hear of gym fees at big resorts and at the Vegas casino-hotels but for a Hilton in Washington, DC, this sounds pretty silly. And with rooms starting around $300 a night, it's practically a crime to charge guests to stay in shape.

That said, silver, diamond or gold Hilton Honors member get to use the gym gratis.

    I think the gym for the Capitol Hilton is the Capital City Club & Spa (which has a side entrance and local members too). The Hay-Adams down the street doesn't have it's own gym, but sends (all) guests a block up the street to the Capital City Club and it is free.

    The Capitol City Club and Spa is the gym for the Hilton but thats really messed up if Hay Adams folks get in for free and the Hilton guests don't!

    I hate it when uber-expensive properties charge for using the fitness center. Stayed at the Majestic Barriere two years ago, and the charge for the fitness center was 15 EUR per day. I'm a six-day a week gym person, but I even said, "uh, thanks, but I'll pass."
