Reviews of Walter E. Washington Convention Center

Joshua Russell

First time to the convention center for Awesome Con 2022. Huge place with many halls and areas to meet. Multiple locations for bathrooms and some food selections as well. The staff was very helpful and super friendly. Awesome con was in fact awesome! Lost of cosplay, huge areas for original art, and many vendors for comics, cards, games, and so much more. First time coming to one of these and was very happy to be able to go. Next time will plan a bit better and spend more time and checking out the table top gaming areas as well.

We visited the Walter E Convention Center for Washington DC Auto Show 2022 Event. This place is super convenient, right next to Metro station and surrounded by all locals restaurants. The facility was maintained very professionally, the security was organized and the restroom also very clean and super shiny! The Washington DC Auto Show 2022 is a must to visit! It’s an eye opener event especially if you’re planning to buy your future cars. We had a blast visiting this year, with all the pandemic precautions, all were organized professionally and you can definitely social distancing without problems. We’re spoiled and entertained by the numbers of cars on the show, all come with new technology and amazing design, especially the electric cars and the muscles cars. Not forget to mention about the electric buses! Check on the exotic cars section and the oldies cars just to be mesmerized! Don’t forget to check on the event while they’re still around!

I spent a week attending an event at this convention center. The place is fantastic! It's huge! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. It was very clean and felt safe. There are ample food and beverage choices within and nearby the convention center. The technology available at the convention center was good and modern. Very ADA accessible. All in all, a great place for big events.

Steve Perry

We came to see the DC car show. Everyone had a great time. There is lots to do. Very good food on site and around every corner you find a place to eat. Parking options could be better but it’s DC! They don’t like cars except their own. The space is beautiful and huge! The show itself has many cars and a few trucks. GM cars are not which was surprising. You can actually test drive a bunch of different cars at the show. Lots of electric options there and e bikes were there as well. Come prepared to walk, this is on two floors and some stuff is outside. Get their early to test drive the car you want to try.

Jasmine O'Conner

This is a beautiful convention center. It’s huge as well, so be prepared to get your steps in. The staff working the AUSA event were very friendly and helpful. I look forward to attending another event here. Note: there are restaurants, a business center and hotel connected to this convention center.

Tierra Oskay

This place is HUGE! A great space for big events. I couldnt tell what was otakon staff vs convention center staff but some of them needed to check their attitudes. I think the staff could benefit from some crowd training and proper ways to talk to people.

Elias Chelala

I had a really good time attending AUSA and the Washington DC auto show. It was free to attend AUSA but the DC auto show cost $12.60 after tax for a weekday adult ticket. The convention center is massive and has three main floors that offer plenty of room for organizations to maximize their booth space. There are also plenty of food and drink options and lots of bathrooms spread out throughout the venue to ensure the time spent is enjoyable.

William McKenzie III

Pretty well organized. Halls have screens next to the doors to show the lecture/event happening inside each, there are lots of attendants around that can answer questions, and the city offers traffic monitors between buildings to guide attendees and stop traffic.

Anthony Heady

Awesome Con - Always Awesome and Always amazing, everyone dressed up looks spectacular, there something for everyone, game halls to play, tons of art stuff for the kids. I can rant and rave for hours but you just need to go for atleast a day and see the fun for yourself.

Thomas Clough

Extremely large and well light multi level area. Plenty of information on allot of subjects and inventions. Extremely informative and helpful information and resources. Food And coffee are available large spaces for conventional use.

Egalaml Inc.

Unbelievable big and nice Convention Center. Stayed there for the 7th time in Oktober '22. Allways good to be there, cause for lunch you can jump out of the halls and go for a little walk to grep some good foods around the Center.

JC

The convention center is clean, easy to navigate, and the employees are friendly. This is a great spot for AUSA. I had a lot of fun visiting and attending the AUSA conference.

Ebonyeyes

Visited 1/21/23 for the car show. The upgrades are nice. The car show was awesome! From old to 2023. Ate at Ben Chilli. You got a heap of hot fries . The chilli was average. They didn't give you much of it. The burger had bacon & chilli. Where's the bacon? I got more cheese then chilli on my fries.

Oak Metcalfe

Just attended the 102nd Transportation Research Board (TRB) meeting here and from what I'm told, using the new convention center is SOOOOOO much better than how it used to be, where you had to coordinate between all the downtown hotels. There was so much to see and do, but the convention center is well laid out and makes it easy to find what you're looking for.

Williams world

AwesomeCon2022 was amazing great cosplays, friendly people good merchandise and tasty food.

Lambert Matias

Attended AUSA Annual Conference . No complaints all around, but for the amount of people this place can hold, there should be more seating outside the halls and accommodations for physically impaired folks. Also, I want to give a very positive shout-out to the staff who delivered my dropped vaccination card to the lost and found office. Thank you!

Rick B

Vendor at the bridal show this past weekend, I was expecting it to be a nightmare getting in to unload our items. That was definitely not the case as security as the process to get to the loading dock was very smooth. The place was great and the event room was nice and clean. I'm giving it four stars because half the soap dispensers in the men's room were empty, but I did enjoy seeing the dude that I guess is supposed to be cleaning the bathroom leaning over his cart on his phone and he smelled like weed.

Doug

great location. massive space with plenty of amenities and services. The staff throughout the building was very friendly and knowledgeable on the area.

Ryan Peters

It's the DC convention Center. Not much more can be said. It's a very modern convention center and a very sprawling facility. A great spot for large attractions that travel the country. Also connected underground to the Marriott Marquis if you happen to be staying there. Street parking can be very hard to score especially during weekends when there is an event taking place. Paid parking garages in the area obviously charge based on the popularity of the immediate area so plan on spending upwards of $30 or more if street parking can't be found. Staff always seemed very friendly and helpful based on the events going on and helping you find your way. Traffic does come to a snarl in the immediate area. The convention center also features a very small food court but there are many places nearby that will likely be better to spend your money at. Be mindful that the convention center spans a few floors so you may need to know what floor your event is on or where exactly it is.

Goran Radevski

Huge place well organized but be aware awful food bljak and craaazy high prices bottle water is 4.50 $ Shameful

Vivian Chambers (Lucky100)

The auto show was nice but not as spectacular as it used to be in the past. I was a little disappointed this year.

Cedric Bridgewater Jr.

Twitter partnered with JamCam 360 (360 video booth) for the CBC. Beautiful event, thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

J Sale

I go here for the auto show. The Convention Center is nice and clean. The staff is friendly. However, there needs to be better signage pointing you to the other floor. There are two floors of vehicles to see. There were several people including us that had difficulty finding the other level of vehicles. On another note and no fault of the Convention Center, this year’s auto show was missing a lot of manufacturers to include: all German companies, Jaguar, Range Rover, and Mazda. Sure I am missing some. This show was not one of their best.

nicole mccall

Went on my birthday January 22nd with my son and we had a great time. First time there I lived in the area but never knew what this place was. The cars are amazing, I was able to sit in them and take pictures.Must go early because it can get crowded. We went where there were not a lot of people. Don't buy the food that is expensive. host this every year around 20-29. Must go to a great time.

Brita Jackson

It was my first time and a wonderful event. I met alot of interesting people and I had an excellent guide Elder Jacqueline Norris Baker Women of the Triune Ministries

M. D.

Went to the '23 DC Car Show and had a great time. The staff is friendly and professional, the place is very modern, and food options are plentiful. How the architects managed to cram a facility with that much space into downtown is a miracle.

Javier Vanegas

A very nice and neat place. It is grand, as it holds many conferences at the same time. The location is central, and there are a great amount of hotels and tourist attractions near-by. The place is clean and well distributed.

Henry G.

What impressed me the most about the Walter E. Washington Convention Center was the works of art valued at over $4M.

Steve Glavin

Huge place with multiple levels. Wear good walking shoes. Even with the escalators, you will need to do lots of walking while visiting this convention center. Multiple food vendors offer a variety of fast food and smoothies.

Cindy Setien

Incredibly well-trained and friendly staff. Auto show was fun, sad there were no German car companies represented this year. Lots of electric vehicles which was great!

Araceli Lawrence

The car exhibition was great but why would they over charge for food and water. 4.50 for a water bottle ?!? What? You’ll sell more if you were reasonable I waited to have dinner at a nice restaurant just around the corner and with 6 bucks I got me a glass of wine 😆 …

Roberto Asquini

Convention center is now better and also has a small food court. There is always the parking problem, you have to look for an event parking in the area. Some street parking spots are available, but weekdays 2hr is maximum (depending on time).

Tamim Khan

Went for TRB. Very nice big conference center with spacious rooms for lecture and workshop sessions. The basement has access to the Marriott Marquise hotel, which is on the other side of the road. The lower basement is very open where posters are presented.

Pomum Cesar

The service is just wonderful. No one will let you go before you exactly understand the room and floor where you have to go and make sure you had all the correct info.

Dave M

What are you looking for from this place? The entrances could make a bit more sense but it's not a bad building. One day they have to design restrooms that can accommodate more then three people at a time.

Jay Payne

Went with out of town family to the auto show. The venue is good, the autoshow rwas kinda weak. Many manufactureers weren't even there. Others had 2 or 3 vehicles. should call it the Toyota car show, as that's what was most represented.

Hannah Gaibor

This is by far the best convention center I have been to. Lots of space and room. Very easy to navigate once you got used to the layout. Great individual room sizes for workshops/lectures. Having a hotel adjacent to the convention center was so convenient.

Cynthia Smith

I went to the Car Show again this year! Dreaming to buy a vehicle someday!

Carole Bledsoe

Nice facility. The building is accessible by the local subway system (Metro). It is in walking distance from most of the downtown hotels.

Ronald De Leon

The DC Auto Show is always a fun and great experience to attend. Especially if you are looking to purchase a new car you can go see all the make and model vehicles without worrying about having to talk to a salesperson. They have plenty of give aways and a kids corner to keep your toddler occupied while you look around. The food court inside is surprisingly decent and they have a lot of clean bathroom facilities as well. Would recommend checking out this event if your in the DC metro area.

jeff kirkbride

Great options for food. Plenty of staff to handle crowds. Actual location was easy yo navigate through with plenty of help yo guide you

Zaid A.

Huge place and great for events. Has some restaurants around and some food trucks inside. I went during the auto show and it was really nice ( don't look at photos of my review if you don't want to see the cars from the show). But really enjoyable place overall

Matthew Smith

I recently attended the Pokemon World Championships inside this convention center. I was very impressed with the overall size and cleanliness of the building. It's one of the biggest buildings in Washington D.C.. It was a joy to visit this convention center. I had a wonderful time!

Ike Henderson

Car show was amazing. Lots of security felt safe. Food was super expensive. Eat before you go.....

Monica Cunningham

Things have really improved since the last time I've visited. Clean, friendliest staff. Would visit again for another expo or festival

Thu Pham

It's nice and shiny still. We went to Awesome Con. Very easy to get to from either metro stop Mt. Vernon or Chinatown. If you drive you can park a little farther out and save $10 bucks. Many parking garage in the area 1/2 mile radius of Convention center, I like Spothero.

Charles Kling

I was there for the 2018 True Value Spring Retail Best Practices Conference & Reunion. Pretty nice facilities, but I found them a little challenging to navigate. Also, there were some problems getting us fed the first day. I never found out if some stations were closed or organizers just didn't communicate that others were available, but there were long lines and a lack of seating. Finally, there are many interesting artworks in the common areas.

Tuvshinbat Ochirbat

The auto show wasn’t enough cars. Also, they should solve the parking problem. I spent about 40 minutes trying to find out the nearest public parking.

Sreenath Nampally

The Washington convention center provides yearly entertainment for you and your family. They host many events like the auto show. They bring in many cars of all brands shapes and sizes. They also have rides you can go on. One of them is a range Rover ride on hills bumps and angles. If you are willing to wait longer you can drive the range Rover up the same opsticals.They also have one like this but for Jeeps.They take you test drives on the latest cars. You can climb in the cars and check out the new interior. Some times they have enthusiasts who take you on a tour of all the cars and tell you interesting facts about them.The center is a great place for you and your family to have fun!

Asif Rehmani

A beautiful and large convention center. I have been here many times for conferences and I have always been impressed with their look and feel, the maintenance of their facility and the security that they have in place.

Midknight Mechanics

Very nice facility for the autoshow. This was my first time to the DC Convention Center.

INSIDE LOOK MEDIA (INSIDELOOKTVMAG)

The Walter E. Washington Convention Center in DC is very convenient for events, galas, expos and other functions. Some of the staff do not speak fluent English and are not properly trained to give you directions but the main security staff is very reliable. Various historic events have been held at this location so you can tell your friends you went to a building where Presidents like Barack Obama have spoken or Katie Perry has performed.

Clark Roberts

Been here several times for car shows but this time we were here for the Major League Baseball All Star Fanfest. Security was quick and easy to get through. Not too crowded early on. Facility is decent. Metro drops off right under the convention center so there is no real walking involved.

Andrew Crowe

Visited for a large girls volleyball tournament. Excellent facility. Very clean inside. Size to accommodate large crowds. Parking is challenging. Ample security.

Matt Shepherd

Absolutely loved the experience there, took me a little bit to figure out the layout of the building but luckily I got handed a map and it followed the signs hanging in building. Wonder time there and looking forward to going again!

RYAN J

Very nice convention center. However the food offerings are disgusting, expensive and inedible. The pizza is truly horrible. Shame on them for charging $10.75 for something so horrible. Convention staff were extremely helpful and professional, the Convention center itself is very convenient and easy to navigate

Janice L

Huge convention with tons of food places around. Came here for Awesome Con and it was a really fun and clean location for a con. It has a good amount of chairs located all around the convention for sitting!

Robert Francis

Convention Center is always nice. The Auto Show this year though is a total BOMB!!! That had so much time to plan this is what gave us. Should have been free.

Julie Yumi Oda

Always a blast coming here for conventions. The security is very organized.

Joshari

The Convention Center is a great place for any Anime, Comic, or Manga Convention.

James Walker

Walked right up to Pagani Huayra, the $2,500,000+ Italian carbon fiber sports car, wow factor. The red Chevrolet Corvette Z06, caught my eye at about $90,000. The pretty blue 2022 Camaro LT1 Convertible starting at $41,145 was also an eye opener.

kathleen east

This facility is HUGE: 2 city blocks & 3 levels. I went for the National Book Festival & this event used most of the entire Convention Center. It is a beautiful facility with pieces of art work throughout. It is RIGHT NEXT to the Mt Vernon Square Metro Station, which is, maybe, 20 feet. Seriously, it was completely under a roof from the exit from Metro to the door to the side door to the Convention Center.

Cedric Prentice

This place is nice if you're going for an event. The building is nice, has places to eat, is full of bathrooms, free internet, and has decently helpful staff. When nothing is going on, it is pretty lame and annoying. Unless you are there for something special, the security will lick you out. I learned that the hard way when I went to find a bathroom. There is a Sbarro's right outside to eat at and it is right near a Metro station. Another warning: That building is impossible to navigate around.

Roman Iospa

A nice expo & event venue right in the middle of Washington DC. Has 2 large connected nicely designed buildings. Art throughout. Security is attentive but pleasant. Have been there a dozen times and still enjoy it. Tip: Take escalators all the way to the top and at each side there are sitting spots with great views.

The Artful

Awesome Con may he my first con, but it was the best! I have way to many pictures to even put into words! So much to do and cool competitions and panels, I would say it's, well, awesome! One thing I must say is the the cosplay meetups are pretty bare and are kind of a waste of time when no one else comes. I would recommend they should probably add some stuff to do in there instead of just opening a room for an hour.

Hannah Byrd Little

Well run conference. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful when we needed things. The location of the convention center was ideal being so close to the metro and also walking distance from many restaurants. Had a great time at the conference I attended the property would benefit from a large auditorium area where seats could be placed on a slant for better viewing of a keynote.

Ladie J

I attended the car show with my grandkids. The ease of admittance and getting around inside was very smooth.

Lorenzo Cruz Jr

always enjoy going to the convention center, staff for the event was great, enjoyed the auto show but they didn’t have BMW, Mercedes, or Audi.

Michael Emmerich

We still had fun but the auto show is scaling back and not nearly as good as pre-COVID. A shame for sure

James Hill

The support staff was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The convention center is well laid-out and accessible.

Dredge

Very nice convention center right in downtown Washington DC. Center is massive, three floors with large ballrooms and small "breakout" rooms. Parking is a bit of a nightmare though, your best option is probably a cab or take the metro.

Cedric Blain-Spain

I'm delighted I had the opportunity to be an attendee of the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference #CBCFALC17 and thoroughly admired the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The convention is one of the best and largest other than The Philadelphia Convention Center that I've been too. The building is phenomenal

John J

Beautiful site for our large association meeting. Clean. Food court is s little pricey. Clean restrooms. Lactation pod. Excellent Metro access. Easy tunnel to the Marriott.

cas Nesmith

This space is phenomenal. It's extremely large and accommodate vast numbers of people. It's well equipped with media capabilities and comfort such as a/c and heating. Plus they keep everything so clean including the bathrooms even with massive amounts of people.

Harlie C.

A somewhat confusing place in layout, but I always enjoy going to Otakon! That's right! I've only been here to go to one of the biggest Anime Conventions on the East Coast. That said, I don't really know if I can give a valid review of it. However, I must give them props on their inclusiveness. Along with gendered bathrooms, they have gender neutral bathrooms. Word to the wise though: You never know when a hot guy might walk in so it's probably best not to practice your body rolls in the mirror like I did 😂😂 Enjoy some Otakon pictures!

Thomas J Horner lll

This my first time in the Convention Center, with out having to deliver anything. I went to the Car Show. I looked at a lot of fabulous cars and trucks along sports cars. They even had driver's on short tracks letting you feel the performance of the vehicles. I just so overwhelming about everything. I forgot to back eat my lunch.

Michael D

It looks great inside

Ken Krugh

Was there for a volleyball tournament. Very nice place, well maintained, food was good and bathrooms clean.

Matthew Diggs

Fun experience! Lots of cool looking cars to see at the Auto show.

J T Friel

Getting food here is more of a price than it is at the stadium. Highly recommend going to one of the quality food places just outside the convention center.

Deborah Katchko Gray

Incredible facility for huge conference of 18,000 people! Staff was fantastic! Security top notch! Great spaces AIPAC was an amazing experience

Ali Babar

We go there every year for the auto show. A must see for every car fanatic. Or if your in the market for a new car. The convention center does a awsome job every year hosting this show.

Mohamed Sabry Bakry

Excellent location among hotels and plenty of restaurants. It has restaurants inside as well, toilets and ATM machines. Very big and convenient for large conferences.

David Walton

This pace is huge and in the perfect downtown DC location.

Velko T

Great convention center with plenty of collaborative working space. Terrible food and catering. Would highly recommend looking for restaurants in the vicinity if attending a local conference.

Love Lacy

The MLB All Star FanFest takes place once a year in a different city. It's the opportunity of a lifetime honestly. All the Hall of Famers and current players that you can see and/or meet is awesome. The last time the All Star game was held in DC was in 1969! Enjoying every minute of this experience.

Leavy Peretto

Place is sweet. This spot is huge and has one awesome car show. Nothing like cars from all over the world all at one place. They have all sorts of events for every aspect of life throughout the year. It is a huge building so any event here is going to be prime. This is the mecca of convention centers.

Sam Bartley

I've been here a few times now for various functions and every time I've been here, I've gotten lost! This is a big convention center and has 2 buildings, so make sure you get a map! Otherwise it's always been a good experience.

Daniel Call

This convention center is modern, clean and well maintained. It is a little difficult to find your way around, but workers are plentiful and helpful. There is an underground passageway to the Marriott Marquis.

sean mathis

Wish there was some kind of parking structure. Recommend taking the subway. Facility is Huge. It's literally a few city blocks in size

Lovely Larina

I went to see the travel show but the convention center always have plenty of events throughout the year.

Claudia Virginia Alarcon Benavides

I absolutely and completely became this "kid in a candy store!" When we were coming down the escalator! I was able to meet, greet and see many of the chefs LIVE and in Person! Plus I was able to check off a few things off my bucket list too! Enjoy the photos!

Megan MacDonald

Great space but terrible traffic and parking. Recommend taking the metro if possible.

Vincent Blalock

We had a great time !

Gedalia Walls

Recently visited for the Washington Auto Show. Good location with easy access via metro or parking lots.

Jermain Ray

This place was Awesome!!! I usually go to the Washington Auto Show every year but this time it was really nice. I personally like the new GMC trucks!! I'm definitely coming back to visit next year I had a Great time!!👍 …

Matt Kern

This convention center is deceptionally large! There's always space and somewhere to go inside, the bathrooms are amply spaced out, there's food inside and good food places very nearby. Might be a little confusing when looking at a map, considering it goes over a road, but once you get used to it, you realize how big the place is. Only qualms are that most of the stairs are escalators, so if any are broken, hope that the staff let you down or around one way or another, as foot traffic can back up pretty quick.

Pepper Sherman

Visited the D.C. Auto Show and saw some awesome rides. Two floors of autos, cycles, electrics and car driving experiences.

Jenni Foglesong

CENTER is nice, clean and organizer. Food Court would not handle volume of participants and lines.

Danielle Zahn

IMS was a blast! Greetings from Wisconsin! Thank you DC, vendors, manufacturers, sponsors, and staff/volunteers for an awesome adventure and vacation full of nothing but motorcycles and sightseeing in our great nation's capital! And the Kawasaki Kash went towards the 2017 model Ninja. Worth it.

Mahdi Alsalem

Huge building to hole any conferences, meetings, workshops. It was great week to spend there when I attended TRB meeting.

William Rogers III (Will)

The wayfinding graphic design was similar to the airport and transit services which is a a very intelligent choice because most people who visit a convention center will travel by these modes. I love the high ceilings and places to sit down and reveal. my life. Visited for 2022 TRB Annual Conference! #activertransportation

Hanumantu Yugandhar

Went there for cars show, as my boys loves cars, who doesn’t love cars lol! Nice three level show, they had every car from super fast cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini to normal day to day commute cars like Nissan, ford and Jeep, worth the visit!

Latisha Daal

I love this place because my favorite conventions come here for example I loved it when awesomecon came and I got to meet Stephen armell and John boygeta. I also love it when the science fair comes around because then I can go there and learn new things and ponder what I want to be in the future so yeah thus place hosts the coolest things. They also host the auto show which is also cool because you see new and old cars and you can test drive a jeep to see how it feels but theirs always a long line for it but it's still cool

Shyam Chaitanya

DC Auto Show 2019. You can drive in jaguars, land Rover, Jeep's ,EVs so on... A great place for year long shows and events

Lisa Causer

We had a great time at the car show. A lot of beautiful cars😊 …

LJAY HVH “HOVA” JONES

It's great when there is a car show. I wish there was on site parking

Isabelle K

One of my favorite places to visit for the annual awesome Con event. The staff is very accommodating, the space is spacious even with the million people coming in. I am a mom, so they have stations for breastfeeding and lots of private restrooms. There's always space to sit down and rest even waiting for an elevator. The only downs is the cost of food, however you are in the heart of DC in a very tourist area. I am not surprised. It's very close to Chinatown, so you're around a lot of Asian restaurants and there's usually an event going on in the area, especially on weekends!

Arlene Wagner

Came here for the DC Auto Show. Great to come here during the weekday because it wasn't crowded and it was easier to find parking.

Nic Filz

Wow! Massive! Alot of space, halls, meeting rooms, bathrooms within the two buildings. I encountered many good, friendly, helpful staff over a week.

Anthony Holmes

The Walter E Washington Convention Center. What a experience! I come every year for the Washington auto show. Make sure you're wearing the proper shoes. Lots of walking. I recommend using metro. Parking near convention center is expensive during events. 🤕 …

Kevin Pelley

The convention center is awkward to navigate. The security screening area lacked any room for groups to collect their members as they finished theirscreening. The security guards forced people to keep moving into the convention center and the sea of people. All other venues in DC are better. Second is that the entrance to the three display floors are at far ends of the building with no logic to the flow. Finaly, the auto show was a huge disappointment. No concept cars or cool reveals other than the Ford Mustang EV SUV abomination. No BMW, no Mercedes, no Tesla. It was just like going to 20 dealerships.

Emma The Uma

The convention center is gorgeous as well as spacious. I will say that there is a lot left to be desired in how the staff handles lines and keeps up with knowledge. As I attended Otakon, the directions staff would give varied depending on who I spoke to. Mostly I would just say that their directions need to be communicated more clearly to the staff so that the information can be communicated more clearly to the guests. That would make things run a lot more smoothly. I don't know how much of that was convention center staff and how much was Otakon staff but either way, the convention center itself was fantastic.

Martyna Fidler

I attended a conference organised in this conference centre. The place is enormous, well signed and can accommodate large number of people at the same time. Very modern and There are many toilets located in multiple places on each level. The only disadvantage may be that cafes in the building close around 5 pm.

Jorge Medina

It was okay should have more variety of cars no German cars at all. Relaxing atmosphere.

Marlyn Persaud

Gorgeous and spacious. The food options aren't too bad...we managed to find some healthy options. No real vegan options though. Easy to get to as it is located right in the downtown core.

Marissa Wharton

Very clean facility and very helpful staff. A great place for a conference or event!

bill fausnet

Big place very nice though awesome, con was cool

irfan ozarslan

Today I went and got my second shot. It was a breeze. Unfortunately there was almost nobody there other than the wonderful and polite staff. Thank you everyone who was involved in this massive endeavor. Miss Candace, thank you for not hurting me. The Incredible Hulk bandaid makes me feel like the Hulk against this virus. PS: thank you Pfizer, scientists and researchers for your brilliance. Everyone needs to stand united against this horrible virus. Thank you these United States of America. I love you. * * * * Five stars is not enough. I am looking for the 51st star of the United States. DC deserves statehood. Mr. President Biden thank you for your focus and conviction with regards to getting everyone vaccinated against COVID-19. I got my first vaccination yesterday thanks to you. Madame Mayor Bowser thank you for getting the city organized so that all residents in DC will receive the vaccination. GW Medical Faculty Associates and GW Hospital thank you for supporting the President’s and Mayor’s efforts to vaccinate the city. Holy Cross Hospital, it was generous of you to loan members of your medical staff to join in vaccinating people. Not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted and guided by such professional organizers. Emily, who was on loan from Holy Cross Hospital, gave me my injection. She was so professional and courteous that I did not realize she had already given me my shot until she was putting my bandaid on. My experience went as smooth as silk. I encourage everyone to please participate. I salute you Mr. President and everyone involved in this massive endeavor.

Chelsea Robertson

Visited here a few times for giant science conferences. I'm always impressed with how easy it is to get around, and how clean it is. Plus they have cool art everywhere!

Jeb Hoge

Probably the biggest building I've ever been in, other than the Boeing factory in Everett WA. I was one of over 13,000 attendees there for a multi-day expo. Other than occasionally seeming cold enough to hang meat, everyone seemed pleased and taken care of. Oh, with one exception...I came to hate the standard chairs, but I'll accept that I'm probably an outlier (I'm a big dude).

Rick Pasler

First off, this is a very secure venue. 2nd, the artwork here is extremely awesome. 3rd, The location is perfect.

mushira lightfoot

As a travel advisor, I enjoyed being amongst other travel enthusiasts and meeting travel vendors.

Mandy W

Large building that is very clean. We went for the Science and Technology Fair. The bathrooms were large and clean. There were a few places to buy food and the food, although expensive, was very good. If you ride the Metro, there's a stop that will bring you up right into the building. That is very nice for those who take public transportation, which I suggest to everyone going on vacation in DC.

S.M.

I come here yearly for the Auto Show. Very cool and worth the trip.

Tierre Wright

The staff at the convention center helped me navigate through the summit. #YouAreAppreciated The Walter E. Washington Convention Center was a EXCELLENT HOST OF THE AWS SUMMIT 2022!!!! Awesome!!!!

Otakon event was really good

Julian Hicks (JuKING the BOSS)

Its been 15 years since I've been to The Convention Center. This time I was there for work. The staff I worked with were phenomenal... Until the end. Everybody was ready to go home lol! The guest seemed to enjoy themselves and the few I talked with were repsectful of us in the service industry. Made the job enjoyable. Only 4 stars because I didn't experience the entire building.

Dannex Construction

We are enjoin the Auto show every year. Clean and organized, makes a event more pleasant.

Mhd Kron

Great convention center. Two buildings joined by a connector for easy moving between them. Large lecture halls. Very well maintained and the bathroom are clean as a whistle. Will cme back for future conferences.

Emilian, M

Huge place. Very well maintained. Security is plentiful. 2023... less clean, more crowded. But still a nice pl

Jacqueline Thorne

I felt comfortable within the facilities and liked the spacing and rooms layout.

Tee Brown

I had a great time at the auto show. There were soooooo many cars to see. There are also interactive demonstrations. It's family friendly too. Great place to visit.

Cinderella

Every year we go to this car shows there people always helping giving you directions to go to the right place, there are 3 different areas one is with the exotics cars.

kijana wright

Went to sneaker con & was in HEAVEN I loved it there!!

Patrick Thomas

Very nice place to have the TRB Conference. This place is gigantic and has all the amenities

Fei

Here for Splunk.conf2017. Modern and beautiful pavilions. What I dislikes is it is huge and passes two blocks. There are 4-5 levels, each level has very different layout. It takes a while for me to move from one session to another.

K Harrison

National Book Festival, smaller (crowd size) than past year's, Metro access and fast screening on entry.

Chef Chrissie Lapidow

Very impressed! Huge facility, great security and staff, clean bathrooms - I could not believe the capacity it was able to hold comfortably. Great location, close to attractions and hotels.

bill carroll

This place is huge. Easy access from metro subway. Food was expensive. They have a captive audience. Overall nice experience.

Mikael Take

Huge center for conventions and exhibits, Plenty of hotels nearby. You may want to avoid car and rather go by metro. At least during rush-hours.

Angela Tseng

Big creative space hosted this year's NCTM Conference. Polyup team was here to present what our students need in understand the connection between math and computer science

Gregory Granato

Great venue, needs more coffee sellers, lines way too long.

DJ Romeo

I love this place always exciting and interesting selections of events Djromeo

Julio Guzman

I went here for the auto show and it was very big and it was clean and it was very nice.

Mushroom Toadstool

We went here for awesome con as a vendor. The place is very clean and the people are mostly all nice especially the con helpers. My only petty complaint was the distance vendors had to walk. Also the security guard that was blocking the door to the vendors door was slightly rude. She talked to me and my friend who brought me out a badge in a rude tone and told us we had to go to the other door for no explained reason.

Nicole Turner

Beautiful venue

Brian Waskiewicz

Fun times #pushbackonpbc

Melvin Lye

Large sized hall and spacious layout. Convenient canteen options.

M Boda

Have been here for multiple conventions and also to write an exam. Staff is courteous and helpful. Clean washroom. Sometimes long walking, but great facility. A+

Eric Lee

This is a government building. Everything worked very smoothly when I had an event there. A very clean building too.

Tom Cagle

Attended the Capitol Classic Volleyball tournament where my son was a coach. The facility itself is both wonderful and massive.

Keith Freit

I attend Otakon here every year, and the convention center is always a pleasant place. There is a lot of space for a convention of this size [largest *Anime* convention on the east coast]. There are some issues with crowding in some locations, but that is do to the ever growing attendance at the con. If driving during an event in DC, you will need to add extra time, for the foot traffic also creates heavier traffic for drivers as well. There are many places nearby for food options, but with the growing attendance numbers so to grows the number of hungry people. If attending an event, I would recommend bringing snacks or sealed water/drinks to avoid long wait times and the higher prices. Use public transportation as much as possible [ie: metro trains] to avoid the traffic.

Christian Sotomayor

I went to the DC auto show and the convention center is a great place to have an event of that magnitude

Elba

I attended such a wonderful event and it's a great building to host a symposium! Very well kept and friendly services.

Ms Chidi

Massive venue with plenty rooms - visited for a convention and had no problem navigating the venue

Munnzkinz

Lots of fun with the people, I even got a deal from one of the shop owners. Great people!

Cashy Maka

I went here for an otakon convention. I loved it here so much this place is big and you can easily get lost in here without even trying. I love to death all the events that happened here I even got to meet a famous band so totally worth going hope they have it here next year as well because I loved it here. People dressed up as many different characters and it was great.

Mr, T (Mr, T)

Had a awesome time with family, great place to visit to come look at a variety of vehicles.

Grace Berg

Have been here for small conferences and car convention. Lots of parking options around, small coffee shop but no breakfast places. Spacious and lots of people around to help guide you.

Sandie K

Auto show was enjoyable. Two floors with amazing vehicles

Marques Bivins

The Health Expo was outstanding! Info, fun and great family vibes! Even my 12 year old said,"Dad, this was fun!"

Abolfazl Karimpour

Annually I go here for TRB. Very clean and professional. The crazy part is the prices for water inside the CC!

Louis DiPaola

Good location for the Washington Auto Show. It had a metro stop right by one of the entrances.

Nick Whetzel

Huge place, very knowledgeable staff and everyone was nice. Overall one of my favorite experiences, very nice and fancy cars. Saw several famous YouTubers here. Food was very overpriced, $4.50 just for a water but that was to be expected

Steven Echard, CAE

We just had a wonderful meeting at the Convention Center. The layout is very open and inviting. The staff at WEWcc is also top notch and the food is terrific. One of the best Convention Centers in the U.S.

Gopalakrishnan Chandrasekaran

Except for slower wifi connectivity, the center and other facilities were of top-notch.

Rolando Hernandez

We've been back and forth to the convention center due to volleyball tournament. Always amazes me the gigantic place. Hundreds of courts were set up in a very organized matter. Very clean. Friendly staff. Will like the convention center to think about getting water refill areas, specially for sport events. The water in bottles was tooooo expensive. $4.50 for a regular water bottle.....?. Everything else was good.

Salanan

This place is huge, make sure to wear some good walking shoes.

Sean o

Gotta be grateful this place exists holds alot of top end events

Jason C

Went to the STEM festival this year. Great venue but parking is lacking in DC.

Liam Davis

Great car show but less veterinary than years past.

Chris Sweet

Been here a few times. Decent facility. Car show in January is pretty cool.

Marc Neilson

Huge convention center in downtown DC with a much better food selection now. You will find typical DC rude staff, but that does not take away from the fun of whatever you are there to see. In this case, it was the car show. There is also more parking around the center that is open later, so you don't have to rush and get back before 7pm.

Mohammed Bosso

An amazing venue for major business conventions. The annual AUSA land warfare exposition is held there every October.

John R Johnson

The Walter E.Washington Covention Center is the perfect venue for the annual NBC4 Health Fair that I attended along with my mother. You could screening for your blood pressure, cholesterol, prostate, vision as well as learn about health eating and exercise

Elizabeth Owolabi

My experience was phenomenal. The staff that worked the events were kind and extremely helpful. I was able to navigate the different events with the digital maps they had out. Overall I enjoyed myself.

Shenita Oglesby

Nice, open spaces. Went to the Travel & Adventure Show. Great layout that provided organization to the event and ample room for the attendees

Faria Zahura

Went there to attend AGU conference 2018. It is a very spacious, enough to accommodate 25,000 attendees. Did not like the food there. Very clean.

eun yim

There for the Auto Show. All staff were friendly and the convention center was very clean.

Jonathan “Yoni” Hatuka

Was here for the auto show , not much change from last year . But was nice. Was easy access and very organized.

Cyrus Ghaznavi

DC Auto show happening at the same time as the Chinese New Year celebration=no place to park

Lawrence Dortch

I went here for the Video Show formerly the Government Video Expo. The facilities are nice but parking stinks. I really wish they offered better parking options for visitors.

Fuma Asad

Went to the National Book Festival. Everything you could want is available right inside, and the metrorail pulls up just outside the doors.

Drake Carpenter

Went to the SatShow, did not see the whole facility. Did enjoy the mobiles ad pictured.

Tina Marrero

Went to Otakon recently and the event holders were very friendly and professional! The convention center staff were very helpful with giving directions! Overall great experience

Tsukasa Hiiragi

My first visit to this convention center for Otakon, and the place is huge. My convention was great, and I can't wait to come back again.

Cris French

Went to the DC Auto Show to check out all the new vechicles and was amazed at the 3 floor display of sweet rides

DrAShellarien Addison

This Convention Center is massive and very beautiful

Tayla Wadsworth

I love this center! I am going again tomorrow for an anime convention. The place is huuuuge! Gotta take detours to find where u goin. Love it

Larry- Motivatevip

The Convention Center offers you a state of the art venue for your meetings and conferences. Great design, and acoustic to hear music as well.

Joel Weinstein (The Weinstallion)

Nice set of buildings across 3 blocks in eastern Downtown DC. Lots of amazing nightlife and restaurants in walking distance, DC monuments and museums as well.

Max PD

Tournaments for Volleyball are well run.

Crystal Williams

Great center for a conference.. a lot of space. Not crowded

Alex Atkinson

Wow. Very big and nice convention center. Not five stars because the food was so expensive. Eat somewhere else!

R FI

Food options for vegetarian and vegan as very limited here and there is not much within walking distance either. Chipotle is perhaps closest best option for something simple. Bathrooms receive a fair amount of attention and are reasonably clean. If you have gear you are lugging to a show note that there are quite a few escalators and elevators are kind of hidden.

Matt Coates

A modern convention center with a bit of a confusing layout. Also, is severely lacking in coffee stands.

Ricky Iskandar

just the right place to do huge event like this one

Xiomara Contreras

Was a beautiful experience

dcwad1

I remember the old DC convention Center that used to be on H Street Northwest as being big however this place is humongous! Was there for the recent NBC health and fitness expo.

CJZ

Great exhibition hall with convenient traffic and coffee shops around.

Venkata Veeramachineni

Conference center is humongous with various restrooms at convenience. Hall D,E sound system/seating could be improved; other than that remaining is good.

Bobola Onatemowo

The DC Auto show happens once every year. If you're a big car enthusiasts and you live around the DMV area, you don't want to miss this event. You'll see cars from the past and future. The auditorium is massive and clean. Works for any type of event. Would recommend visiting.

Moshe Aziz

No words can describe the center considering its size, professionalism, art and security!!

David Warner

Huge place, needs another entry/exit. Other than that, pretty nice.

Eric Fernald

This place has a complex layout so it takes awhile to figure out where you're going. But it was also nice visiting the Exchange Snack area with it's modern checkout system.

Philip McLemore

Whut type of activity do they do And get more rarer cars to.

MTB 246 (Jason Bowen)

Fantastic place to host a convention. Facilities are top notch

Greg Amiker

DC Convention Center is literally 2 city blocks of Conference heaven. Corporate, to Government if you need acres of space this is your venue.

Sambit Supriya Dash

International Astronautical Congress 2019, happened here and the services were excellent for the participants. They organized the main conference hall so well and very decorated. Every facilities were well maintained and the security department worked the best among all. They were very kind and humble, I have encountered few instances where they helped a lot.

RS Gmail

Great location and good amount of small, medium and large conference rooms. Also a huge excebition area. Conference center is divided and for a large conference there is the need to change buildings which can be a hassle when it rains.

Addy Grinnell

Was here for otakon. It's a pretty large building with multiple levels. Things were kept pretty clean and it accommodated a lot of people.

Anne Schumann

Huge convention center. Nice clean facilities and good food options including Ben's Chili Bowl. Take the metro off your can to avoid heavy traffic and high parking garage costs.

Douglas Figueroa

Great place for conventions, near the metro and right into the center of the city.

Tundey Akinsanya

Fancy building with zero parking!!! 5 years later, still no parking.

Sergey M.

Overall nice venue, but wish the direction signs were a bit bigger and clearer.

Mark Lyon

We attended the auto show at the convention center. They did a terrible job of utilizing a single-direction flow to minimize walking (and potential risk of virus spread). Instead, you entered and exited the top level from the same narrow doors. Then, to go between the levels, you had to walk a long corridor when there was another entrance (that they used as an exit) right next to the single set of escalators they were using for both going up and down. It would have been far better to enter through the top level, exit at the back of the top level and go down, then walk toward the front of the building and exit there.

Peter Rohlfs

Nice hotel, but didn't have room ready in spite of online check-in the night before.

Edwige Mendouga

I took my Covid-19 vaccine at this famous place. It was very organized, no line at all for both times.

Eva G

There is a good variety of cars on display at the auto show this year. Definitely worth a visit. FYI- Remember to have your vaccination certificate for everyone that is over 12years old.

Ming Huang

It is close to metro, easy to access for meeting place

Vladyslav Ovcharenko

I wish the entrance was marked more clearly. Running around whole building in a freezing rain with two kids was no fun at all. The inside was very organized for the event.

Eric “TechMechanik” Stoddard

Beautiful convention center. Was easy to navigate. Only gripe is that bathrooms were hard to find at times and didn't have enough facilities for the crowds.

Adebowale Prest

Lots of alcohol stations, helpful staff, plenty of seating and charging stations

Joseph Bailey

Only thing I wanted to see different brands of motorcycles am more merchandise to buy on the spot

Jose David Ortiz Velasquez

Is awesome view some many different cars and a lot space to we walk around. Look the new cars from Toyota also from Chevrolet and Chrysler plus Ford company and also Lamborghini, Ferrari McLaren Beyley. And Lexus, Military Vehicle 🚜🗽🏢🏫🏦🏟️🏗️. My mind was overwhelmed to see this beautiful cars they are awesome. God bless you all in Jesus Christ is name amen. Live long and prosper peace love and respect.

Julio Roberts

A huge convention center. Very nice.

Tanya Ramey

Ubiquitous Hair and Health Trade Show. Crowded and vendors galore: samples too! A two-day event with talks about health, beauty, and hair. CVS conducted FREE health screenings and a doctor on site reviewed results. Will return next year.

Sam Neves

This was our first time in the auto show. The boys loved it!

Rula Bashi

I visited ICNA the biggest islamic convention and was perfect, looove it.

Eduardo Figueroa

I went to the Washington autoshow and I saw all kind of new and classic cars

Rod Hobbs

Although the convention center is very large, there is always someone nearby to help you find your way and provide a smile.

Andrew Statia

It was awesome. Had a blast at the DC auto show. A little confusing making your way around the building but good time.

Phillip Andrada

Always a great place to have a convention there are many spaces large and small to hold pretty much any kind of panel. They also have a generous offering of food vendors throughout the facility. The staff are polite and professional. They are following covid guidelines. Recommended.

Sequoia King

I love coming here for different events. The car show was AWESOME

Shawn Prather

Very nice car show. All car I can't afford.

Rose S

It was not enough cars or well known brands like Cadillac or bmw

Melissa Yingling

I come here every year for the Otakon convention and I love this venue. So spacious, its staff are friendly and helpful and they do a good job in keeping the place clean and orderly every day. 10/10, best convention center in the country.

Peter Arzberger

Nice place for a convention. I enjoyed the National Book Festival there

Tanil ÖZALP

This is the biggest center i have ever seen.Really huge and have very good quality technical equipments, rooms,salons

Sam Conley

The convention center is great. I visited for otakon2021 and I have done so for the last 3 years. The layout is a little confusing if your alone but there's always someone there to help. The carpet is sit, it smells amazing and the internet is alright. Service is spotty in the basement areas but you can still reach out if you need to. The escalators work most of the time but it seems there's always 2 or 3 that are down or not moving, just means another set of stairs. All in all, beautiful building inside and out and a great place for activities with 6+ digit amount of people.

Rozaline “Roz” Elsher

Went here for Awsome Con, had an amazing time. It was a bit crowded but it's to expect from a convention. The other con-goers were also super nice <3

janice don

Not sure where to park if you show up by car but great location if you show up on the metro.

Robert Chapman

Best convention venue you could ask for. It's got tons of space just remember it hosts the Washington auto show every year.

Hailey Wilson

An anime con was there, very fun and clean.

Fronzy 101

One of the biggest convention centers in the DMV area. Very friendly and professional staff, great selection of eateries, Most popular for Otakon.

Mimi CosplayV

Huge center! So much space! And pretty easy to navigate with maps in every location

Trudy Soucoup

Great location and large enough to accommodate 5000 of us! Box lunches were tasty and all amenities were top notch.

Shawn Vanden

The place is always about the people…Everyone works as a team, to deliver their best !

Marvin Hagler

Sneaker Con event was great..very interesting..First time here since the 90s..Very nicely done

Will Pearce

Convenient (if Metro is working). Nice space for the Metro Cooking Expo. So much hot sauce and barbecue.

Alex Sedlacek

Very large and confusing layout. But I found my way to where I was going. Update: Still too confusing. The signage indicating which way to each exhibition hall is terrible. I saw signs for halls D+E, then A, then C. Had to work to find Hall B.

Jocelyn

I went for a professional development conference. I enjoyed during my breaks walking around the Convention Center viewing the artworks.

J Masnec

Great service

Justin Smith

Good rooms and clean areas. Food court is too expensive, they need to work on that.

Dali Pena

If you're visiting for a show, it's a huge place to get to know.other than that of you are working in the Union Its Definitely a great place to work.make sure you've taking some snacks or lunch and water. It can get expensive..

Mark Hurley

As far as convention centers go - this one is a bit confusing, up three flights turn left, down three flights, take a right - where are we going again? Overall the people are friendly and help point you in the right direction.

Bayete Jackson

A spectacular evening, I experienced here.. the best yet!!✨👌🏽👍🏽🥰 …

nathan womack

Very cool venue.

Oded Volovelsky

Great convention center compared to others in the US. Great property and location. Participated in the kidney week in November 2019.

Fred theflo Oliver

Visisted the Auto Show and had a GREAT TIME. A friend brought me along as a and 1 and I am glad I joined him. 2 floors saw decent looking vehicles. Some of the major brands did not show up and that was disappointing. Mask and Covid-19 ID check was not too bad. I will say it is a JOKE to wear a mask all day walking around the Convention floor but in the food court people gathered and I mean LOTS of people gathered eating enjoying them selves and there are no mask on. ???????????????? makes no sense.

Pati Moore

This old building was great in its heyday but not today. Not enough outlets, USB ports and workspaces for the amount of room it has.

Evan Nevermore

This convention center is huge. We were there for awesomecon 2021. The bathrooms were pretty clean, the center looked fairly well maintained but there wasn't enough hand sanitizer stations around high touch points like doors, escalators or stairs. Everyone did wear their masks.

Geoff Howard

Very big place but very nice a lot of steps escalators

Dan Pajer

Working in the building, I'm an out of town employee helping during a very busy week. Everything looked beautiful from the kitchen end and didn't hear of any complaints. These PIC'S are a couple of VIP dishes fr today for both a small breakfast n lunch

Raymond Wiggins

Center itself is pretty nice. Not very friendly to exhibitors in the sense that parking is a problem. If you're planning on driving in because you have to carry a lot of stuff, be sure to get a hotel in walking distance. There are a few small lots, but they fill up quickly. When eating, go outside the center, better restaurants around there.

Allie Genia

Beautiful! Being here for a conference was a lot of fun. Being gigantic, we used the entire space for sessions and expos, but it was easy to navigate with friendly directing staff. I also love that it's easily accessible from the Metro station. Accessibility-wise, there are a lot of stairs. Thankfully there are a lot of elevators to combat that as well. There are also escalators aplenty, so you shouldn't have too much trouble navigating the hallways. If you need a place to sit in between destinations, though, that may be more difficult. There are very few couches peppering the hallways! There are a few lounge areas where you can rest if needed, though. There also aren't a lot of outlets, so if you need to charge things you have to be clever about seating in the rooms. Other than that, the food options can be limited at times, and are pricey. It's worth it if you're looking for an easy option (and the food was definitely fresh!), but there are a few options within walking distance as well.

zen moriarty

What a clean and beautiful convention center. I love to work here and I love the neighborhood.

Eve Keller

Wonderful for large conferences and amazing keynote speakers.

Chaz PilotWolf

HRC convention. The center staff was very helpful and it is very well run.

Thomas Mulvey aka RAXX

Large center, clean and great art hanging in the areas.

D K

Go. Otakon 2021

Joseph Allen

Great venue, very clean and staff was kind and courteous. Would recommend for any event

Shannon Fowler

Great venue. Lots of space for Awesome-con with bathrooms everywhere.

Amos Hoover

Really nice convention center with almost limitless space.

Cynthia

I just found out this year (and I have been in MD close to 11 years), that the Convention Center was named after a black man. My question is why is there nothing on the first floor to commemorate this man? No pictures, no statutes, no plaque, NOTHING that tells you that unless you go down one flight in the deserted area near 'C' Hall. They have a cardboard with pictures of him. Why is that? Washington, DC allows this!!!! You guys should be upset!!!

Bahar Bazargani

Can't wait to go there again! Great facilities A large number of rooms in all sizes Close to restaurants and museums

Gwendolyn Young (Gwen)

This place is huge! There is plush carpet here. There are steps and elevators here as well. I attended the Housing expo here. There were lots of vendors present as well as people. There was a line for the free popcorn! There was an exhibit of a tiny house, I mean it was really small. I didn't like it because you don't have much privacy! It looks like you are being caged in a small space. Very little room to move about. NO Room for a cane, walker, or wheelchair if needed! Looked more appropriate for a responsible teenager! I do have photos that I will try to post here. There were banks there, but I did not see any Real Estate Companies or Housing providers here. The music was too loud to the point I could not hold a conversation with the vendors. At 4:00 pm, things started shutting down and we were directed to leave!

Chris Boggs

Very nice, clean space that's well ventilated. Plenty of room for exhibits. On the minus side: the large and small spaces are mixed in, so if you're there for something like the Auto Show you're gonna wish the big spaces we're all together. The elevators are poorly marked, and the call buttons on one floor didn't appear to work.

Naren Majeti

Wow! This place is easily one of the biggest convention center that I've been to all my life. The facilities were easy to navigate and I didn't seem lost when I navigated the area. The cool things about this center include that the food made by the staff was kinda good as well as a coffee shop on site, a metro station, and a walkway to the Marriott which was kinda cool especially when it's raining outside and you don't wanna walk. Overall, if you wanna have a convention in DC, this is the place, not gonna lie.

S S

I have been here for multiple events and have seen the convention center hold different types of events and exhibits. The facility is well maintained and has multiple bathrooms. Every hallway has bathrooms at either end, which I found fantastic. The main exhibit room is massive and can hold a few thousand people. The staff working here are very friendly and helpful with directions. You are close to the metro and parking is not terribly hard to find if you go a few blocks around the center. There are many rooms at can hold anything from a small meeting to a large exhibition. The sound system and televisions in the building are excellent.

KD Asher

NBC 4 Fitness Expo

My Hanitizer

The place is great, it seems like it keeps getting better and bigger somehow. I love going there and enjoying the space and whatever show is going on then. The staff are great and the carpets, stairs and escalators look majestic. It's hard to imagine a nicer convention center than thus one. I went there for the Salesforce world tour and enjoyed it

Karen

First time back in two years for the National Book Fest. I had the nicest time!

April Brown

Nice place to visit with plenty of Staff to include Security and Police...I felt Safe. Oh and I like how Organized the were with the Traffic Flow inside the building. Thank you :)

Anshuman Swain

An extensive and extremely good convention center. I was there for the National Science and engineering fair and the staff were amazing. Very nice and helpful. The whole area can accommodate a large number of people, who came to the fair in any case, and the staff were really good in management of the crowd. The place is extremely accessible by metro and other transportation.

RouterPete

Very cool and awesome venue for a convention.

Benjamin Kordich

Otacon this year was amazing. The center was a perfect location and i can’t wait for my next con at this space

Marsha

DC Auto Show was fun and the Ford robot was hilarious.

Jonathan Bennett

I was here over Labor Day weekend for the National Book Fair. Great place, plenty of space for all the events and the Metro runs right there. It is huge, though, so bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes and the larger rooms were kind of hot but with those size rooms and that many people it would be hard to make them comfortable for everyone. All in all, a great space. Can't wait for next year!

Karuna Pujara

Really nice facility. Big big. Very convenient to metro - only foot steps away. Connected to Marriott conference area through underground walkway. Many good quality restaurants nearby. For catered events - good quality food. Sufficient seating areas, charge stations and work space. Several connected buildings make this convention center. Be prepared to walk. Can easily accommodate thousands of people but not feel crowded. Well managed.

Gerald McCloud

Luncheon for senior citizens Given By Mayor Bowser 👏 it was nice as always …

Nizar Farsakh

Very spacious, with a large variety of rooms and halls equipped with modern facilities. What I particularly like is that the foyers and space between the halls is big enough to allow for conversations and even meetings (lobbying if you will) without impeding other people's movement. One draw back is that it is served by the Yellow line which is notoriously bad as opposed to the Silver or Orange lines. And don't get me started on parking in that area!

Mary Robinson

We had a great time at four your health expo

TiLynn P

DC Auto Show is a must see! You have to check out the artists painting the concept cars! Really worth it! My favorite artist is there. sptheplug.com

Matt B.

This place is huge! We came for the Washington Auto Show and had a blast. Everyone working was very kind and helpful. It was clean and there was plenty of trash cans and bathrooms available. We did eat here. Now, make sure you bring a lot of money. It was $14 for just a cheeseburger. $11 for three chicken strips and a side of fries. $5 for a beverage. I don't know, I just thought the food was a bit outrageously priced. But then again, it was convenient.

Angel “Angelo” Salguero

Great Venue for Cars shows and other event year after year!

Anita Saleem

Great experiences. Loved the rides

Larry Anderson

Very spacious facility conveniently located at the 7th St metro stop.

Aaron Holmes

My second year coming to this convention center for Otakon and I absolutely love it. With the pandemic going on they handled having all of us there with great success. The layout can be a little confusing at first but once learned it is very easy and accessible

brandon lam

I went here for a convention, and it was spacious. Restrooms were in abundance, and the layout was not confusing. Vending machines and food stands were common. Not too much can be said about a convention center. The area around it has a decent amount of food places and there are many hotels near too. There are some shady people around at times, but it's DC so that's to be expected.

MSA

This is an amazing location for festivals and conferences closely connected with the metro station.

Mohammed Mohammad

The place is great, visited to attend ASM microb 2022. The internet really bad down in the posters area and also when there were big crowds.

Adebayo Bankole

Big and nice place to hold a large gathering

Andrew Boomhower

The facilities here are great and the staff are very helpful. The only thing I would suggest is giving some accomodations to smokers... There needs to be a more accessible smoking spot for exhibitors (the only place required quite a hike, just add a small fenced off area).

Hank S.

We went there to see the auto show. A nice place to visit. Stylish setup, clean with many seating areas and a food court.

Samantha Rodman Whiten

Great location for car show!

SD R

Larki g is always a problem here unless you get in early.

Jason Brown

Great place to hold the USASEF XSTEM event!

francis short jr

Good awesome con event

Mel Pao

It's big. They are always very organized and you can always find some one from the event to help you. It's right near the metro. As well as several options for food both inside and just outside of the building. If you are a convention goer and it is at this location, then you will definitely have a great time...provided that you actually enjoy the theme of the convention.

Awesome

If you happen to be here for an event such as the STEM day or the auto show, then you should go. It's a really expansive place, and they always do a really good job of hosting really interesting and fun events. However, parking has always been an issue every time I've gone, and if you haven't been there before, then it's also challenging to navigate. But overall, this is a fun place to spend a half day or more in DC and I highly recommend it if you can catch an event.

Chris Skalski

The center is immense, and nicely done inside. The car show was great and tons of people fit easily in the immense showroom. There was security but I walked in twice and no one stopped me at all in this day and age of terrorism, which was great actually. We can't all live in fear. There was street parking available if you are willing to be patient, which I was. It cost me $4 for two hours, and the meter took my debit card, so carrying change is not necessary. It's location on 9th street made it super-easy to get out of the city. Overall, a nice time.

Jasmine Nears

Really appreciate the location, security, and the rooms. A great place to hold large gatherings and conferences.

Ansar Mustafa

I've been working here for a few years on the Trott, and it's a great venue and the staff that work there are really helpful. Food is available around the location and coffee and snacks are available in the cafe on the ground floor. Part of the venue is glass so you get some great light coming into the venue. It's a comfortable place to run an event.

Years an visiting this place never improves nor gets worse. The employ proactive and helpful staff and just staff that are well just there. I don't understand why you have to walk all the way around the entire building outside then all around the building inside to get to your venue. There are doors right there near the ticket counter.... Bathrooms are taken care of and have been clean. Yes food and drinks are quite expensive but you are in DC.

Michael Tran

Very spacious place. Super conveniently close to the national attractions as well as Chinatown. I went here for conventions and felt that the rooms were usually clean and wide enough to walk around. I've been to many convention centers throughout the US and I would say that this is one of the nicest convention centers I've attended.

Rajavi Sanghavi

Went in for the auto show:) huge and beautiful!

Samantha Berg

This place is a fantastic and modern convention facility. We love coming to Otakon here. The location is good and close to restaurants and coffee shops and the convention center is spacious, easy to navigate, and the a/c is nice and cool. Almost too cool, but that's alright in my book!

Ryan Fuhriman

Huge convention center but lots of available staff to help direct you where to go. Lots of security as well. Ballrooms are large but so are the screens to view presentations . Easily accessible from lots of hotels in the area. Good quality AV in every room where I attended courses.

Keva P

The convention center is spacious and was able to accommodate several different conventions at a time. The temperature was wonderful. I'm typically cold natured and was concerned that the venue would be really cold. There are several places to eat within close walking distance.

Gabby Gilliam

This place is massive. It can be difficult to find your way around, but there is a lot of posted signage to help you out. The building is clean and in good repair. There are multiple parking lots within walking distance as well as a metro stop. I wish it provided more food options as the few food stands it has get very busy very quickly.

Linda Shaw

The Convention Center is a beautiful place, the staff is friendly and helpful. There is a café with reasonable prices on the premises also with friendly service. I don't believe that I came across one person in Washington in the two days we were there for the conference that there was not a friendly person trying to help us. From the person on the street who realized we might be lost and trying to find our way to the Metro or the Parking Attendant. The whole experience was extremely pleasant.

Blake Smith

Was here for Otakon 2017; had a fun time! The venue was a pretty good size for the convention, with most events having enough space. Can't think of much to say about the convention center itself, other than the facilities were clean and in working order and easy enough to move around. They had some food vendors on site which offered decent food at the expected price during a convention.

Ivelisse Medina

This convention center is HUGE! We had a great, enjoyable career conference. It's modern and very clean.

Rick Curry

This facility is huge with lots of rooms of a wide variety of sizes that could accommodate just about any kind of event and multiple events at the same time. Signage throughout the place help you to get around. There is food service that includes restaurants as well as banquet services. The event that I attended included banquet services and the food was pretty good. And there was plenty of it. I've been to events where there was not enough food the adequately feed everyone. Not so here.

Steven McGee

Very big exhibit hall, get your walking shoes on cuz you will need them here.

Frank Contrepois

Huge but well organized (for an AWS conference)

oliverbeckert

Great venue. Clean, easy access, spacious

S Starinsky

This year was my 3rd year attention the Otakon convention. The first year I went I was shocked at how large the place was and how you could get lost if you were not paying attention. Some of the posts were a little hard to find, but they maps all over the place so you know where you are most of the time. A lot of the rooms are good spaces so it makes it to where more people can get into the events. It seems like each year so far the invention has had more then 25,000 attendees going and this does not count the staff and vendor that are there and it doesn't feel too, too crowded. There are a lot of places to sit to take a break and the large event rooms that they use for the Deals room and Artist alleys area great. You do not have to walk far to find a rest room. If you are staying at the Marriott Marquise there is a underground tunnel you can take to get t the hotel and that cut down on waiting in some of the other lines because we were staying at that hotel. The convention center has several food courts, but they cost a bit much to get anything so just keep that in mind when looking for food inside. Though there are so many places to eat in the area it seemed like people only went there if they did not have a lot of down time to eat. The bag check can be a bit annoying because they check all bags no matter what door you come in, but as long as you have your bag open when you get up there it does not take too long to get though. And for a large convention they knew they had to move fast to get the hundreds of people moving back and forth through the area , which was done in a timely manner I believe. I am glad that Otakon moved down here. It is a lot better then the Baltimore Convention Center.

Browneyed Angel

Working here for a week and I am impressed with the effort put in to keep the place clean and running smoothly. Some amazing art on every wall, huge banquet rooms and an enormous conference/expo center! Very happy to be part of this group of people for a week!

justrenia23

Came to a vaccination clinic, very well organized & orderly. Nurses were nice and knowledgeable. Great experience, received the Johnson and Johnson vax without any side effects.

Eric Pettis

This an amazing convention center! We had a great time here!

Hugo Cadena

Good people and good place to go and deliver your load , but no place to park your truck and wait for your next load , they make you leave the area right away.

Richard Legendre

Went to the STEM conference with my kids here. It's a huge Convention Center that is easily accessible by DC Metro, plenty of parking garages and in the center of the city. They have escalators galore all over the center. However, elevators are greatly lacking, which you really notice at a convention with a lot of kids in strollers. That caused for lines and waits at elevators. I'd assume this would be a non-issue at any convention that doesn't involve a lot of kids in strollers. The convention seemed to have bathroom issues, as at one bathroom in ballroom a, the men's room had only a trickle if Easter pressure. This I found surprising, as I've been to similar attended conventions in Baltimore with no issues and a much larger one in Philadelphia with no issues. Otherwise, it's a nice large convention center in the center of DC. Easy access and parking, waking distance to Verizon Center, the National Mall and tons of restaurants.

Marcus Douglas

I attended a technical conference here. The entire facility is clean with plenty of big bathrooms. The food provided varied each day and was always fresh and delicious. They have plenty of tables all around with USB chargers in the center - very nice touch!

Christopher Steel

Love coming here for awesome con. Also my wife and I are always happy to find places that kind of cater to new or expecting mothers. We have a ten month old and it's great that they have these nursing pods on either side of the L Street entrances. More places need things like this. I mean come on, it's 2019.

Katy Boyer

This was my fourth time here for a conference. Good things: really friendly and helpful staff, they have more benches and seating areas than most convention centers, hallways are big enough for the flow of people between meeting rooms. Improvement: signage didn't always make it clear which building or side of the building I should go, but again there were really helpful staff around to answer questions.

cueva93

I have been here multiple times for multiple shows, expos, etc. The convention center usually has traffic directors during big events that makes it even easier to get to for an event. On the inside it is super roomy and even with tons of people it doesn't feel cramped or tight. The center is clean and well maintained.

Mike Meachem

I have been to many convention centers and events. I had a really good rime and this was an exceptional event I was only sorry that I could not complete the survey for the cosponsor Telemundo. There were only two survey stations and I was unwilling to wait in the extended line. The center is huge and my affordable parking was 4 blocks away and $10 for the day. I took a photo with the NBC peacock at the fitness Expo 2019 good time was had by all.

Travis Edwards

The Washington Convention Center is well maintained, clean, and spacious. You can get lost as it’s broken between two blocks and multiple floors. The staff is very professional and used to all the questions one might have about viewing, parking, local amenities, and more. There is a security detail and taxi stand. Hotels are sprinkled around but local food vendors can be a few blocks walk. Sometimes the center itself has food but not always. Plan ahead, check maps, and know the area before attending.

DKJohnson *DerekSpeaks

Humongous convention center with convenient and swanky power stations & meeting paces! Its very spacious and accommodating. I attended a college fair, but it can host any corporations agenda. There's plenty of street parking around the vicinity utilizing parking meters.

Kayla Harley

Served as a Volunteer for the WomenEmpowerX Conference. Met some great people including the very helpful CC Staff.

Domonique Scull

Went there for the DC Auto show. Huge venue and very well organized

Michael Zain

I totally loved the convention center. It was easy to navigate brightly lit and everyome was very nice.

Meg Smith

The convention center has an unbeatable location, right downtown and directly above its own metro stop. Parking is a headache and is best to avoid. The halls are absolutely massive and it would take several days to adequately browse a convention to its fullest. Food options are limited. The space is kept clean and well maintained. Can be fun to visit for a gala or food/running convention.

Aránzazu Ascunce

Easy entry with good flow through vaccination check point. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Felt safe. Thank you!

Ashley Bryant-Baker

I've come to the convention center for multiple events. They are always very well run and staff is always so helpful. The great staff here is what really makes this place stand out over other places I've been to for conventions. Also really convenient to downtown.

Kristen Bishel Browne

My first time at the Convention Centre was this year when I attended Awesome Con. It's a huge building with a number of small rooms for panel discussions as well as the giant ground floor where all the local artists and vendors were set up. I appreciated that during Awesome Con they set up gender-neutral bathrooms! Security and organization were very high so I definitely hope to come back in the future!

Nick Cooke

Huge space for a convention, and you can get everywhere without having to go outside at all. Looks great, plenty of eating areas and clean bathrooms. Big issues: one of the rooms kept shaking up and down (a dance was happening nearby/on the floor above), and a bad (but not terrible) rain storm caused leaks throughout the place - makes me worry about the engineering of the place :-/

Greg Boyd (Gritchu)

This convention hall is great for large events, however there is sooo much walking involved to get anywhere. I went to Awesome Con and routinely would find myself walking 3-4 miles over the course of a day there. This includes hours spent sitting at panels. Part of the reason is that they close off the most convenient access points into the convention hall and force you to enter from the opposite side of the building from the Metro. So you spend a good chunk of time just walking around the entire center.

Isabella Kirby

I picked up a vendor's display after an Army convention. The docks are under the convention center and are surprisingly easy to navigate through. Backing into one is a little bit of a challenge but not bad. Absolutely no engine idling, which is understandable considering that it's underground and there are many docks. I should have taken some pictures of it. Getting to the place was easier than I expected, and getting out to I-395 was fairly easy. The construction back up on the interstate was extremely slow, so I got to look around. I've not been in that part of DC before and it was very interesting. Just wish I could have gone through there during the daylight hours.

Melissa Cecchine

I've been here the past few years for a small association conference and this is a nice space for the one hallway location. Rooms are nice and close by. Nice that there is metro stop right at the doors to convention center. However parking is not easy around here. Metro is best. Food is pretty good here for convention and they have a great hot tea selection with honey which is bonus for me.

Lisa Driscoll

The Convention Center is huge!! Be prepared to walk. The food court is very expensive and not great, however if you are there for they day, you don't have any other viable option for food. Leaving to eat and returning to the center would be optimal, but it's not viable most of the time. Be prepared to wait quite awhile in a line. The center is always very clean, bathrooms are kept up well during large events. Overall a great place for events.

M Boone

Great venue with the ability to be molded quickly. However, most events do not use the space efficiently and do a poor job of routing visitors. Street parking is typically plentiful. Do not get duped into paying $$$ to park in a parking garage.

Kevin McCarthy

Great convention center. Two downsides though. One is it's physical location in DC. Traffic is generally a pain getting there. The other downside is the lack of an attached parking structure. To park, you're on your own finding a parking lot or, if you're extremely lucky, a parking space near the convention center. Once you've sorted out your parking and get inside, you will enjoy whichever event you happen to be attending. Grab a coffee at Starbucks or food at any of their food stands. The place is super easy to navigate and always very clean!

The Daily Cat

It was luxurious and vast. I went for the Otakon 2017 and 2018 shows and enjoyed myself each time. It is beautiful and has A/C throughout the building, so it feels great inside. The security is thorough and the staff are pleasant. The information desk gives out coupons for the many food places that are around the surrounding area.

Devin Gonzalez

Great experience at the auto show! I felt very comfortable with their covid procedures, and the auto show had some amazing cars!

Beth Borrego

Easy access and a clean facility.

Nathan Dally

The National Book Festival was amazing. I can not believe that such a remarkable event is free. My daughter loves the Author lead reading and crowd interaction. I loved the teacher resources and pop up bookstore. It is always such a treat, but this year was extra special.

D Palmer

Excellent location. Beautiful interior space with lots of interesting modern art sculptural pieces. Comfortable meeting rooms, but the AC is rather intense. Ample ladies room accomodations. Convention center personnel are friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Terry Stith

Great event in DC. Annual Senior Xmas party. Had a great time. Excellent vendors and overall celebration. Peace

V Hill

The convention center is big and clean. I just wish they had better food options. It was a pain having to leave the center, find something to eat, and then hurry back before my next panel. Not to mention there many vegetarian or vegan options.

Matt Brostek

Convenient location in North west DC with plenty of rooms and space for most conferences. National book festival is held here, the DC auto show, many IT industries use it. It's on the yellow line which is a good way to get there since parking can be steep around it. It can also be a bit confusing to get around, but most of the staff is helpful in pointing you in the right direction.

S Royster

Here for the Capitol Classic volleyball tournament in Feb 2029. Entire space plus ballrooms converted to a setting and spiking dream world. Great facilities, with WiFi, Cafe, cafeteria, and well lit hallways. Parking in areas is dicey, but it's right over Mt Vernon SQ Metro. I've also been here for book festival and health expo. Center is so versatile, and often hosts disparate functions at same time.

Steven Hung

Nice vast convention center with nice facilities. The layout of the place didn't really make much sense to me, sometimes the numbers of the rooms would jump around and not go as expected, making places hard to find. Also some of the rooms had the stage in the center, almost like you were going to watch a boxing match. It made it awkward for all the presenters, who all commented on the odd stage placement. Located near many restaurants and hotels. Also has a metro stop near it as well.

Andy Buboltz

Beautiful convention center with friendly staff!

Esther Adetunji

The convention center is huge! I’ve attend two or three events at this location and I never go through the right entrance. I usually end up walking for several minutes from one end of the building to the next to get to my destination. The convention staff are helpful and direct list wanderers like me who always get lost. It is also located in a perfect area close to many eateries and Chinatown.

Norman Gonzalez

Visited for the car show, it was easy to find parking, the staff was very helpful getting us on the right direction. It was a full day of activities and we had a good time. Could improve on the variation of food provided.

Cindy Janett

It was a big space. It would be better if vending machines were on the floor instead of waiting for long lines to get food. We went for Awesome Con specifically to meet Tom Welling. They has the lines organized and the staff was really helpful

Nikita Ford

I've been to this convention center for many different types of events over the years. It is a huge place, and there is always plenty of space. It's always clean, worth clean bathrooms. It can be a big of a maze if you don't know the building.

Marcel Wood

Very professional and beautiful building the staff was very professional and friendly everything was cleaned and sanitized

Laura Inglis

Very big and easy to get lost. Convention center workers are very friendly and can easily point you in the right direction. Metro stops at the convention center making it easy to get to Not too far from the tourist places either.

Sanggyun Kang

Every winter I come to this convention center for TRB Annual Meeting - the largest annual conference for transportation scholars, practitioners, and businesses. I can't really complain about this facility, provided that it accommodates tens of thousands of visitors over one week. If I nitpick, there are too few coffee stalls inside the building so the lines get extremely long during peak hours.

Yuriko Edwards

For the most part, this is a good convention center. The building is clean. Even the bathrooms (and that's a HUGE plus in my eyes). It's location stinks because it's in downtown DC. Traffic in the area is bad and hard to find a good place to park. I paid $18 on a Saturday to park and still had to walk a few blocks.

Jeremy Gagliardi

Just a huge, huge place, considering it's downtown. It's directly on a Metro stop (literally to the door), so you don't have to drive. It's in 2 separate buildings (that I know of) connected by an underground floor. I've been there many times for the Science Expo and a couple of SciFi conventions. I'm always amazed at the sheer scale of it. Of course, be mindful, the food and drink inside is served to a captive audience, so it has movie theater-high prices, but it's downtown. Just walk down the block and find a restaurant.

D'Atra Montgomery

Huge convention center! Really nice inside! Located near the metro! I was there for work with an organization and the center staff were really nice and helpful with directions. The bathrooms were clean and plentiful! But the best part is the art! I found so many cool and amazing pieces on the 3rd floor! Didn’t have time to check out the artists and his/her inspirations, but they were beautiful!

Alexander Herrmann

It's a centrally located large convention space of the type that every large city should have. There are a lot of restrooms, which I consider very important, and a lot of escalators. I also saw decent elevator coverage. It's a little confusing but not too hard to get around, and it doesn't have the "you can't get there from here" feeling that (say) Baltimore's center has. The staff is VERY friendly.

Kendall Helton

Well laid out, very large space. Food is extremely overpriced but that is to be expected. Event staff were helpful. Building was kept cool and felt safe.

Luis Madrigal

Get ready to walk! This place is huge. Ballrooms are tricky to get to and all my sessions were spread out. Also exiting to the side streets is challenging. Had to walk forever to find an exit. Just pack patience and breath to avoid stress.

Brian Bentley

Great place for any convention!!

Pedro Canelon

Very big and beautiful place

Ryan Tobler

Went here for a work convention. The building was nice and spacious. The layout was a bit confusing because all of our meeting rooms were 2 floors above the main convention floor. The bathrooms on the bottom floor in the big warehouse room needed some improvement. The hardware on the stall doors weren't installed correctly on multiple doors, but that's not a huge deal. The nice thing is this building has an underground route to the Marriot Marquis Hotel so you don't have to go outside if the weather is bad. They also have a good variery of eating places.

Abdulrahman Aladhami

Great place workshops & Events

Stuart Miles-McLean

We were there for AwesomeCon. Love the Con, but unhappy that we had to walk from the front of the center all the way to the back to get to the Con and then reversed that trek to leave. That's a real hardship for folks with mobility issues. Similarly, there was hardly any seating anywhere, not even by the food vendors. Bad planning!

Richard Derrico

Nice modern clean facility. Comfortable. Friendly staff.

L. Zhǎngsūn Brown

The place is HUGE but very physically accessible (so long as you catch a ride). It's convenient to the metro, with the stop literally at the front doors. But there might be multiple simultaneous events here, so good luck finding yours and not getting lost. (Also good luck finding something to drink/eat inside the convention center for not ridiculously expensive.)

Kata Crea

Big enough to accommodate largest conventions. The staff keeps it clean throughout including bathrooms. Love that there is Starbucks inside. Overall the food stations are very well planed and plenty. ATMs throughout the buildings. Parking is a bid a problem best to ride the Metro. I was surprised we did not get bags checked (it's in DC?)

J B

Here for volleyball classic. The venue is good has some food choices. Entering was a long walk. Could be done faster? Biggg space comfy seats. Needs parking.

Gregory Lipscomb

Fantastic menu. Great sandwiches. Cool dining spaces (indoors and out)!

Zachary Rhoades

This place is consistently nice and accommodating. Parking is available at nearby garages for 20-30 dollars per day, or you can drive in circles looking to get lucky on a street spot for free. Security can sometimes be annoying, but that is usually privately contracted so it depends on the event.
