Top Washington Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Really good hotel conveniently located a walking distance from all the museums and attractions, that is if you don’t mind walking. There are restaurants, CVS, parks, metro station and bars located in the vicinity. The pool was nice and clean and there were plenty of beach chairs, the outside bar was fully stocked and the drinks were good. The only “issue” I had, even though it’s not really an issue because they’re making the hotel and experience better, is that I missed out on the indoor bar/restaurant because it was under renovation. Missed out on that but it is looking good. I’d definitely recommend it especially if this is your first time in DC. I’d definitely stay again in this hotel and hopefully the indoor bar/restaurant is completed."

"Very cozy and conveniently located hotel. Its historic aura draws you in, while the staff is there to answer, assist, or even tell a light joke. I was not able to dine in the facilities (meetings kept running over); seeing the look of satisfied diners allowed me to realize that I had missed out on a delight. I must return mainly for that but the experience itself."

"This place is great! Everything is well kept, all of the staff super friendly, and located close to the NoMa metro station which made life so easy. The valet was nice, we didn't have to carry our luggage throughout the whole city. Shoutout to Solomon, he was our valet majority of the time we needed it, and he is AWESOME! We were so stressed about rushing to get out of the car and he has just such a calming presence and offered us plenty of help. So kind, we will miss him and our stay here!"
