"Asked for adjoining rooms upon check in and wound up being one room apart. While checking into rooms, the room in between was being vacated. The occupant was clearing out the room and yelling at staff across the parking lot. Had I not been with a man, I would have been nervous. The police were called. The occupant was gone within a half an hour. Staff entered and cleaned the room. It was a convenient location for our overnight stay."

Top Washington Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Arlington Crystal City/Reagan National

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Excellent airport transportation. Very clean and looks new. The only gripe is that there’s no free breakfast."

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"This hotels delivers consistently good value. Beds are comfortable (not soft), bathrooms are clean and water is hot, and coffee maker in room is great, plus lounge on 2nd floor. Good location also. Suggest requesting a higher floor as neighborhood can get noisy."

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a great, reasonably priced hotel with underground parking for our DC visit. The staff was friendly, especially in the dining room. We stopped for a drink most evenings and enjoyed the bar and waitstaff's camaraderie; they remembered us, the couple on a last-minute vacation, even though a corporate event took over the place for a few days. We ate dinner there a few times and found the traditional pub-food menu perfect after a long day of nonstop walking and my unwillingness to take another step (20,000+ steps each day). Breakfast offerings were good, though they poured only half a cup of coffee, which didn't satisfy the first cup of the day. We didn't use the pool area, as the weather was cool and rainy, though it looked like a nice place to relax if the weather had been nice. It was an easy walk down 14th Street to the McPherson Metro station, which we used to get around the city every day. (Stop at the Brown Bag for breakfast and coffee). And local restaurants were easy to access, with a few only 5 minutes down the street. There was much to enjoy in DC, and our home base at the Washington Plaza Hotel was a great location and a pleasant experience."

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Picked this because reviews said it's a great stay for solo traveler. Was on business there for the next day Monday, already on Sunday. It's in the middle of town, by a church. It's nice to just walk around and I got some food which I took to my hotel room to eat while watching tv. They have a huge amount of channels. Location is walkable from metros and bus stops. I definitely will stay there again if on business for downtown DC. Staff I met (reception and cleaning lady) was very friendly. Makes you feel at home."
