Top Founders Library Hotel Reviews

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean efficient room! Plenty of space to store your stuff and get some rest. Quiet building, good location to stadium. Thomas at the front desk was extremely helpful with getting us all checked in and giving us all the info on the hotel. Thanks!"

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"All was wonderful with our stay except at 11 ish pm we had a maintenance person banging on something in the room where the microwave and ice machine were. He was in a separate door/room from the microwave room and came out and scared us sweating and apologizing and finally the pounding stopped. Other than that the stay was great!"

Lyle Washington D.C.

10/10 Excellent

"Greta hotel for my stay at DC"

Hyatt Place Washington DC/US Capitol

8/10 Good

"There was a little mix up with the room at first, but was quickly fixed with no hassle whatsoever. Clean overall, friendly staff. Just what was needed as a stop over on a long road trip home."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff has an incredible gift for hospitality. Sabrina was so warm and welcoming to me and every guest. The location is good, the room and bathroom were a little tired - the owners could invest some money on the asset and take care of that front desk staff! They are what make the hotel great."

District Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All good, is not a big hotel but if you will spend the time more out than the hotel is a decent place to spend the night. The associates on this place are friendly"

Charming & Spacious Apt in Historic Rowhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Location, location, location! The best thing about this property is the neighborhood. It was safe and very friendly (A lot of dog walkers!) You were a few minutes walk from Whole Foods, Target, Trader Joes, several restaurants, and a Metro station. We were able to grab provisions easily coming home from a day of sight seeing. We stayed over a week, so it was great to use the kitchen, washer & dryer etc.. It was comfortable, clean, and I would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy DC."

DC Apartment: 2 Mi to National Mall!

8/10 Good

"Good property in a good neighborhood. Guest/street parking was very easy. The room was pet friendly with a convenient dog park 2 blocks away."

Pure Voyage Shaw

8/10 Good

"This location is in the shaw building and is right next door to the Howard theater. It was easy for uber/lyft to find and is convenient to get to/from the airport and other places in DC. The apartment was SPACIOUS!!! 2 bedrooms and 2 baths but the open living room/kitchen concept was nice. There was a washer/dryer and plenty of dishes to use. Only downside - the window coverings let light through, so bring your eye mask if you wake up easily due to light. Not a downside, but remember you’re in the city so there may be loud talking (outside) or sirens from time to time. I would stay again."
