Stayed here for a little weekend getaway and it was the perfect. Seamless check in, very nice room with incredible features and extremely cozy. It was also walking distance from every major museum or land mark we wanted to see. And if you wanted to go a little farther? Just go down the street to the Metro station or take an Uber, or if you’re feeling adventurous, just hop on a scooter or bike and head to your destination as everything is close.

It was my first time staying and it did not disappoint. Its a very historical building so if you love the charm of hidden features this is it. The wi dows also open which was amazing being so high up with a perfect view of the capitol. I cant wait to book again. The desk attendant Fiie was very sweet and polite. Check in was easy and a breeze. The expedia VIP bag was cute and mich appreciated after my long drive.

My wife and I had a great stay here at the Washington Plaza over St Patrick’s Day weekend. The hotel was clean from the grounds, to the rooms, the parking garage was easily accessible. Treasure was amazing at the front desk! It was my second time staying here and will definitely be back! I have stayed elsewhere in DC and seem to enjoy this hotel and the location the best.

I almost never leave reviews but my experience here was so good, I want to share it. First thing, yes the rooms are small but the dimensions are listed so there should be no surprise. But also, the room was CLEAN- like immaculately clean and that’s important for me. The week before I’d stayed at a major hotel chain in a large US tourist city for a lot more $ than Motto, and the room was dirty w chipped worn furniture. Even the Motto gym was pristine - and spacious.

The stay was great. Check in was easy we arrived late in the night about 9:30pm we were tired. Our room was spacious and clean with clean bathrooms and filled containers of lotion and hand soap. The bed was comfortable. We did not get to try breakfast that morning because we left prior to the start of weekend breakfast.
