Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"It was my first time staying at a four star independently owned hotel. Facility was superb and service was impeccable. When your only negative reaction is "the toilet paper could be softer" then you're staying upscale. The Washington Monument can be seen from the room."

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great for a quick solo stay in a fantastic location! Staff were super friendly and attentive, even when busy. Rooms were clean and tidy. The room was small, would have been a tight fit if I weren’t alone. But I would absolutely go back and recommend it for the right situations!"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Housekeeping staff was very nice and accommodating! Front desk lady was a bit cold but not rude. Overall great stay!"
