Top Southwest Federal Center Hotel Reviews

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel. Close to everything. The staff was very helpful."

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"From check-in, to entering an immaculate, spacious room, to dining, room servicing, and check-out, this was one of the best experiences my wife and I have had in a long time. I was attending a conference while here and the host hotel was booked. I am so glad they were! I made a video of our suite and showed it to several people. The people who organized it said they will check with ARLO being the host hotel next year! They all had a typical hotel accommodating room and were quite impressed (and maybe a little jealous) of our suite. I see where there are only two other cities that have ARLO hotels in them. If my travels bring me back to DC or either of the other two cities, ARLO will be where I check first for my stay. Thank you for a surprising experience!"
