Top Ballou Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Arlington Crystal City/Reagan National

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Hampton Inn & Suites Washington DC-Navy Yard

8/10 Good

"Our stay was excellent. The rooftop bar was a bonus! Such a nice view and we had a gentle breeze. Room was clean and amenities were super nice. I felt cozy and clean after showering. Sometimes hotels have cheap shampoos etc. not this one. We Ubered to the Anthem but could’ve walked. We also walked to Union Station which was a really nice walk through quaint neighborhoods, and library of Congress. The walk was about 30min but goes by quickly on a nice day. Breakfast was good. Great coffee, purified water cooler was a nice added touch."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fantastic. Parking was not user friendly"

Comfort Inn Oxon Hill - National Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Good property And the staffing are a pleasure"

Harborside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, staff are helpful"

Cambria Hotel Washington D.C. Navy Yard Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was excellent. My air conditioner system needed repair."

Residence Inn Washington Capitol Hill/Navy Yard

10/10 Excellent

"The room was well equipped, and spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The oatmeal "bar" was delicious - with plenty of healthy, sugar-free toppings. Also appreciated having plain Greek yogurt as an option. The reason I picked this hotel was the proximity to nationals Park with a really good price point (under $200 for the night that I stayed). I do feel that the valet parking is overpriced. For someone who's staying at your hotel, $50 is more reasonable expectation for guest to pay for valet parking."

Coda on Half, a Placemakr Experience - Navy Yard

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great option when travelling with the family. I will likely stay in a Coda in the future based on my experience. There was laundry in the room, a full kitchen, etc. We were only there for a night but we could have stayed a week comfortably."
