Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Fun stay. Had really cool room with floor to ceiling glass.It was a corner roomso stunning 13 floor experience..Washington Monument in view. Safe and clean area. Busy roof top bar. Local hotel off beaten path ,but still close to everything."

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our 2 days here at the hotel, and we will always stay here if we come back. I cannot say enough about the staff! Every single person on staff genuinely connected with us. The room was spacious! We had a small kitchen, so we would eat breakfast in... and then be out on the town the rest of day. Cleaning lady was wonderful, and restocked our little kitchen each day with coffee and ice. Nice! We loved being around the George Washington Campus, which made for lots of places to eat. For easy eats hit Western Market. International quick eat restaurants. We LOVED North Italian Restaurant about an 8 minutes beautiful walk for a sit down vibrant beautiful restaurant."

Hyatt Centric Arlington

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect location for my conference. Convenient to the metro, there were two food halls close by. Target is one block up. The front desk staff were courteous and assisted with metro questions. As a single female traveling this was a perfect location and would stay here again."

Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall by IHG

8/10 Good

"The best location when visiting the Museum of the Bible, and most museums on the Washington DC Mall. The staff is very helpful and professional. The outdoor pool area is very nice. My room was away from the elevator and very quiet. I did not appreciate the very heavy presence of National Guard troops in the lobby at all times. Maybe it is a living situation for them. I might not book again for this reason"
