Top Downtown Washington D.C. Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Pool was Good… rooms were adequate.. small showers. Staff was Awesome!"

District Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Pros: Location and price were great. The bed was comfortable. Floors in rooms were NOT carpeted. Cons: Carpets on stairs very old and appeared dirty Air Conditioning was a window unit over the head of the bed, worked ok but not great Bathroom window did not lock and being on 2nd floor, that did not feel safe Toilet did not flush, opened tank and it was a brand new toilet , so that was a major problem, had to manually connect the chain any time I wanted to flush . Since I go Into the room so late, did not want to call down for them to fix! So just manually did this overnight and told them upon checkout Paint in the bathroom was a mess!!! Painters over edges of tiles , big sloppy gaps of paint on all edges Toiletries provided were just a shampoo that tube was sticky and small round facial bar Overall this was just ok. Great price and I only needed to sleep there so was there only @15 hours total. Room and bathroom were small (as expected). Headboard and Walls looked like just a plywood sheet stained but it did have nice molding around it so it was more of a design choice but gave a strange impression when entering. Looks like updating has been going on (brand new toilet, newer windows and A/C unit, modern floors)"

Club Quarters Hotel in Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Nice enough place, very close to Farragut North metro station (1 block). Very disappointed that we could not extend one extra night through Expedia after we checked in. The hotel's reservation center wanted to charge us almost double the rate we paid for the first few nights. We ended up reserving a nicer hotel (thru Exp) about 6 blocks away for only 10-15% more, for one night."

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This place is very clear. The staff were concerned about my wellbeing. When I first arrived, they told me about the meal plan, the event, and the policy. I didn't get breakfast maybe because I didn't pay for that but not a day someone came to my room with breakfast or told me about it. My room was clean all time. Moral room however, the room is very small and only good for a single person who wants to enjoy downtown of DC."
