"Great!"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Cute vibe. Walkable to the arena and other points of interest."

The Westin DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed here several times and the staff is excellent every time I go! They are helpful, accomodating and pleasant. The hotel itself is beautiful but I think it is starting to show signs of being dated. There aren't many amenties but there are spaces to work and a restuarant to eat. Most things are walkable from the hotel. Standard rooms are an okay stay but I would recommend upgrading if you can."

Holiday Inn Express Washington DC Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was not good at all! Not many different varieties scramble eggs smelled …"

The Darcy Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff was rude and seemed too busy talking on the phone or staying in the back office to actually help. Everything else about the property was great."

JW Marriott Washington DC

"Restaurant pricing is high. Lounge pricing is high."

Conrad Washington, DC

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay here! At first, I was concerned that it was going to be noisy because my room was off of the central atrium, but it was not. My room was a nice size, and having a desk I could work at was great. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
