Great new Marriott property in a convenient location – just a 10 minute walk from the Congressional office buildings and is right next door to a Whole Foods All the staff including the valet to management were incredibly nice and attentive Rooms are standard AC brand rooms and there are water bottles in the room which is a nice touch

Rooftop bar has incredible views of the city and an interesting menu

Great time! Hotel is beautiful and the staff AMAZING! The Smoke and Mirrors Rooftop floor is absolutely amazing and with a breathtaking view of some of Capitol Hill is truly beyond words My friend and I really enjoyed our stay The only thing that not a deal breaker but the gym – you have to be walked over to the apartment next door to use the gym since there isn’t one in the building

This is a franchised Marriot – even with that it was a great experience and I recommend! – my pictures are of the rooftop and breakfast area

Mikey Fort

The location of the hotel is awesome Very close to many historic sites The hotel itself is VERY nice and it has a lounge on the rooftop with a clear view of the capitol building

The rooms are spacious and have really comfortable beds The bathrooms have a rain shower function as well which was pretty nice I’d definitely stay here again

Everything was very clean The beds were comfy, and you were about a block or two from just about everything Everyone was very friendly and nice

I enjoyed watching the fireworks from the balcony I felt very secure in the building, and safe I was a little confused at first with how to enter the code to the main door I figured it out, but maybe a small informational guide would be nice I loved my stay here, and I would totally come back here the next time that I am in DC There was a little garden in the alley way behind the hostel that was quite pretty to view as well

Lance Russo

Let me start by saying I’ve stayed here in the past in my travels and loved it I’m also not aware if owner knows how his guests gets lied to by staff They canceled my reservations and charged my card ( they still have gave my money back

) All because they thought I was homeless I was embarrassed I live in Jersey and have a home there I love the artistic vibe here in DC and loving community I even joined a local non profit group there temperance alley because the community is wonderful For when I visit Just cause a man travels and has mental disorders like myself And chooses to explore all lives beauty Does not make him homeless They hurt my feeling so bad And it’s a shame cause I’m sure they didn’t realize just cause I’m different does not give them the right to discriminate The hostel is gorgeous but mistakes happen Besides calling me homeless and hurting my feeling so bad I cried The place is awesome I’m still waiting for owner to call me And my refund but the money isn’t the issue it’s my feelings that are the issue So if your different in any way or beat to your own drum or if your happy being you Do t go here they are not kind My name is Lance Russo I’m not happy about the discrimination and absurd comments made by staff The owner still has not called

Clarissa G

Stayed one night with a friend in the private two-bed room Check in was easy, room had everything we needed I do wish the bathroom was a little better enclosed (it had a glass wall all around but the glass was only frosted beginning partially up)

But the fact that they managed to fit so many amenities into the space so efficiently was very impressive Room was very clean Definitely would recommend to travelers on a budget Would visit again

Furnished well and nice bed Shower was average Room was clean and seemed remodeled within last 5 years

We had two rooms both missing different things They have 2 elevators that requires a key card to operate (no signs about needing a key card though), but one elevator is reserved for staff So if the “staff” elevator shows up first, after much frustration to figure it out, press the down button and hope the other elevator arrives before the “staff” one resets Funny thing was outside of the ground floor, any elevator would take you down Ridiculous I have never seen that before Also we could not take the steps, the doors to each floor is locked I could maybe understand that for security, but seems like a major safety hazard if there is a fire and the ground floor is blocked Also room was not ready until after 5pm on check-in

Vanessa Dieterly

The hotel itself is new and looks nice, and it’s in a fantastic location right by Union Market, but there were a few issues The service from the employees felt like from an old/rundown hotel, not a nice new one The person working the front desk when we checked in was wearing sweats, which just seemed really out of place

The website said parking was an additional $25 per night, but when we checked in we were told it’s $35/night Our room reeked of weed when we walked in There’s a lot of construction around, which didn’t bother us, but might be a problem for some people The breakfast was decent and the lobby stays stocked with coffee, tea, and citrus infused water

Absolutely beautiful place All the staff were very friendly and hospitable We were treated very well

I love that your car is locked secure in the garage every night Check out time is NOT at the crack of dawnthe only disappointment was the beautiful pool was closedThe bathroom tile was beautiful and clean Beds were comfy and very cleanLocation, I gave 4 stars only because it was a little bit of a walk to get to the museums But also, it was a nicer quiet area, right across the street from the beautiful Martin Luther Church

Mon L

I am staying here currently with my family I can’t say enough about the warm, friendly front desk staff They treat customers with respect and kindness, and went above and beyond to get us a room suitable for our party

The pool and all the facilities are clean, well cared for and comfortable This hotel is a little bit dated in some parts, but the warm and welcoming vibe makes it worth it Excellent value and I just want to say thanks to the amazing staff who work here

Monica Hasbun

Everything was excellent: the location, the service and the cleanliness I want to thank the front desk staff Treasure, Maya, Joy, Tenisha and Evelyn They were all very pleasant and helpful

I was also very pleased with the thoroughness of the housekeeping staff They did a great job cleaning my room meticulously every day The hotel is very nice, regardless of whether it is updated or some rooms are small, which were comments I read from other reviews The rooms are equipped with a small fridge and a coffee maker, and the coffee provided (from Nicaragua) was delicious I also liked the pizza at the patio restaurant by the pool I ordered half vegetarian and half sausage/pepperoni It is lovely to sit there on a nice day Many of the guests are out in the pool area at all times of day I highly recommend this hotel

Beautiful hotel, the staff is amazingly nice and knowledgeable We were here for an event for 6 days and had the best of times The rooms were really nice and clean, housekeeping did a great job

The beds and pillows are super comfy It’s within walking distance of everything There’s a nice bar in the lobby The conference rooms were nice as well The food provided was really nice as well during our meals Overall great place to stay

Eileen Flaherty

I found the location too far from any of the main sites Way too far for me I also did not feel safe in the area where it is located

There are homeless tents very close by Some of the homeless were aggressive in approaching me I did not feel safe to leave the hotel after dark which affected my stay I will not stay there againThe hotel staff and restaurant/bar staff were very nice and helpful

kay

There are so many great things about this hotel! For one, the location of the hotel is very convenient if you are visiting DC as a tourist! White House, Washington Monument, etc is less than half an hour away! Hotel is beautiful and well maintained

I would have given 5 stars, but I didn’t have the best experience customer service wise Checking in was smooth, but when asking questions regarding accommodations or correcting a charge issue my family and I were met with an attitude I recommend the hotel to others, but prepare to deal with that energy

NOT your usual Marriott hotel Very hipster/artsy feel Rooms are very tight, with your room chair mostly in your way the entire time, and your table hanging off the wall

No closets or iron in each room, exposed concrete ceilingHowever, the people that work there are really great, the beds are more comfy than I thought, and the rooms are very clean Nice location Probably not the hotel for most folks, but they cater very well to the minimalist vibe

Jamin CSC

I seldom leave reviews, but felt it was warranted in this case I visit the DMV area very regularly and I travel elsewhere pretty often as well While I was staying in a different hotel this past weekend, it occurred to me that Moxy DC is the standard to which I compare other hotels

It’s quite simply my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed inFull disclosure- this is probably not a hotel for everyone…especially if you plan on doing a lot of work in your room- because there’s not a ton of space…there’s also not a ton of privacy inside the room, so if you’re sharing the room with a companion- you’ll need to be VERY comfortable with themHowever, if I’m in DC just to have a good time- Moxy is the absolute coolest The atmosphere is fun and modern, the rooms have a cool urban vibe, the bed is perfection, and I honestly have to force myself out of the shower The hotel is incredibly well-kept and modern, but it’s also laid back…and I love that, it’s a unique vibe and, to me, it feels really welcoming Also- paying a little more to get the city view, is SO worth itI love this hotel (in case that wasn’t already apparent) I will absolutely stay at this hotel again, I regret not staying there this past weekend, and I always recommend Moxy anytime a friend mentions they’re traveling to the DC area

Samantha Saykao

Stayed here for a conference Service was lovely Ken was able to accommodate all my needs and said hello every morning

They are so sweet!Rooms are v space efficient and the showers are spacious with rainfall shower heads! Very enjoyable stay 🙂

A nice, stripped-down hotel in walking distance of the Mall This is a micro-hotel so the rooms are small and simple, but well laid out and have everything you need conveniently-located within the tiny room Bonus points for room controls with option of remote control! The beds are very comfortable

And the best feature: helpful staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home!Now for some less-than ideal things to be aware of: The toilet amenities are really nice, but there are no extras like Q-tips or cotton balls (not really a big deal) The biggest issue is there is no valet – which they DO let you know in advance via e-mail You can self-park at a nearby garage, but it is deserted on lower levels and if you are arriving late it can be a creepy place to wander around alone at night And if you don’t arrange parking in advance the fees are super-high Based on their signage I thought I would be paying $27/day – but no, it was $27 day + $27 overnight = $54 Higher than many high-end hotels So be warned and definitely lock in the preferred rate via the hotel app ahead of time!All in all a nice option in downtown DC!

Jered Brown

Small hotel space, but definitely encourages you to get out into the city and explore Unfortunately, parking is always full being in the city The front desk staff on nights is amazing

So generous and knowledgeable about the city Every recommendation that was given was on point to no disappointment Would definitely stay here again, but only if I was on a solo trip due the small room size

Samantha Hetterscheidt

Even with the rooms being as small as they were, it didn’t make the stay not enjoyable For the size, it was laid out rather well and even gave space to put your luggage and shoes under the bed and out of the way I wished the beds had been slightly larger, but it was still a rather nice room

Also, being able to control the lights and temperature of the room after getting in bed after a long day was a nice little plusThe staff were all very welcoming and answered any questions to the best of their ability I don’t think I’ve ever encountered staff as customer friendly as this one It’s definitely a pleasant experience in a great location

gidi rosenfeld

Worst hostel I’ve stayed in so far Whole place smells like sweat because of the “no shoes” rule which is clearly only there so they can save money on cleaning Rooms are clean and the beds are fine, but our room had a neon red bright exit sign that couldn’t be turned off and lit up the room at night

Also, one bathroom for the whole floor, really? Would’ve rather spent a little extra and got a hotel roomThe hostel doesn’t exactly encourage socializing either All the people we met were great, but the only nice common area (rooftop) closes way too early and the rest of the common areas are sweltering hot due to the lack of AC Also, no drinking after 10pm apparently Can’t even enjoy a beer in the heatThe only positive is the location, which really is good Walking distance to most of the good places in DC and right next to a grocery store Honestly the location is the only reaons this review has two stars and not oneOverall, I expected more from a hostel in the nation’s capital

Aidan Garrity

The location and staff are excellent The included breakfast is nice, even if it’s just pancakes Rooftop patio area great for relaxing and chatting

The hostel has a good social atmosphere Parking is a bit pricey since it’s downtown, but most people visiting this hostel are from overseas so it doesn’t matter as much Would stay here again when visiting DC

Nicholas Daniel

Great stay for my first time at a hostel The staff are very friendly and helpful, and willing to give recommendations for food in the area The free pancakes every morning were great

All the facilities were kept clean The hostel is well located near many attractions The only real complaint was that the wifi was slow but with 20+ people there that is to be expected

This place was the excellent choice for us from the beginning to the endI called to ask some questions prior to book the room and the response was concise with all the answers We were impressed and booked the hotel

Upon arrival, it was smooth to check in and it was quick to check in Very convenient from parking to lobby to room as wellI drove pickup truck and the parking was easy for me I was again lucky to find a spot close the elevatorStaffs checked to see if there was anything hotel can help and provide The frequency was after arrival and a day later I requested couple of times and the response was quick and accurateWe rushed to find dinner place on the first night and there were so many restaurants with excellent foodsWe tried four places during our stay and all of them were fantasticNo doubt I will visit the wharf area and stay here again

Bryan

This is typically my go-to hotel when I stay in Washington DC on business All in all it was a good stay The front desk staff is attentive and friendly

The property is kept immaculately clean Great location I usually book a suite However, upon arrival my suite wasn’t ready until two hours after checkin time which was 3:00pm I had to follow up a couple of times and no one seemed to be able to tell me when the suite would be ready It put me two hours behind schedule for a business meeting Due to that, I had to postpone my meeting to the next day In addition, the suite was located directly above a pub that plays really loud music from about 7pm to 12pm I realize this is beyond their control, but I did not get a good night’s sleep The TV in the living room also didn’t seem to work using the remote Eventually, I had to downgrade to a much smaller room but still paid the price of a suite which is disconcerting For those businesses travelers looking for a good night sleep I would not recommend staying on the side of the hotel located above the pub unless you can sleep through a five hour drum set

Kelli Grant

LOCATION! I will preface this by saying I’m more of a Mandarin Oriental girl, however -this hotel was clean and the staff was very kind, professional and helpful You can’t beat the location! Stayed 1 night here on business Note that when arriving, you’ll go down an alley and then up and elevator to the hotel

I had a waterfront room which may have been classified as a “suite” Not really a suite but it was a good room The rooftop bar area was awesome Breakfast was really good, the staff was very nice! Two of the ladies gave me great insight and information about the area and what I should see I love talking with them The night I arrived, the bar didn’t have many items on the menu -both food or drink, the draft beer thing was broken but that bartender sure was nice Older gentleman and was fun to talk to Beautiful views and great for walking around the wharf! The room rate seemed high for what it is but it might be because it’s on the water Just do not expect a luxury hotel It’s clean, basic and good for a place to sleep I was most impressed by the service!! Everyone was so kind and professional

The Capital Hills Flats studio I had was great and perfect for what I needed on my first trip to DCRoom: The studio was clean, modern and included a very comfortable bed, a kitchenette, plenty closet space, good sized bathroom with tub, and a nice writing desk that viewed the cute neighborhood The kitchenette included dishes, silverware, a Kuereg coffee machine, etc

Location: The flat was walking distance from the Capitol and National Mall Everyday of my stay I was easily able to walk to all the different museums, memorials and monuments Also, it is not far from Trader Joe’s or CVS if you need to pick up some snacks or maybe thing you may have forgotten or need On the way there, you can pass by other local shops and boutiquesOther Accommodations: Laundry machines and detergent are available for use in the basement This was very convienient, especially for those that don’t want to pack a lot of clothes Your own hamper was provided as well in your roomLastly, the staff was very accommodating and was willing to assist me in any questions or requests I hadTo conclude, I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit DC

I am giving a 5 because I have given lesser places a 5 It is very luxurious and the staff is superbly courteous without being stuffy It was immaculate

We had a king deluxe and the bathroom was amazing Linens were luxurious The food was delicious and the pig roast on Thursday night at $32/plate was a bargain They would box up what you could not eat and let you take it with you I did not use the spa or pool areas The only criticism I have is that there was no little store in which you could pick up drinks or snacks to have in your room There was a refrigerator which housed some drinks/snacks before but they had been removed So, in the evening, your only option was room service and to get a cup of coffee and a few cookies took close to an hourplus a tip There is no place within walking distance to pick up such items either If you are used to those things in the evening or have small children, bring it with you

Y. Lee

First time staying here and definitely won’t be my last time The service was like no other! SUPERB! I can’t believe their is still service like this out there Every single employee we ran into was amazing

I’m blown by the service The rooms are very nice and clean The hotel itself is very classy and comfortable The food surpasses my expectations for hotel food and my kids loves their breakfastThe location was perfect because it was close to everything, but far enough from the crowd to keep the atmosphere intimate The hotel is very kid friendly as well being that it’s an upscale hotel, so don’t be intimidated if you have kids and would like to stay here

Stayed this weekend and this is a fabulous hotel The service, the location the people who work there really made my stay amazing And when I needed an extra night because of a car issue they easily and quickly accommodated me and price matched to a nearby hotel I was going to check into after I had already checked out of their hotel

The Decor was amazing, the design I mean it all was great and made my Instagram very popular for the weekend Definitely will get my business again and would recommend

We were charged $31 a night for amenity fees, we never used any of them This was not explained until we checked out Keurig in the room did not work, was also told the ‘free’ water in the room was included in the amenity fees

There was also a grease stain on one set of sheets and I found a couple of small blood stains on mine The staff was wonderful But would not stay again, I don’t appreciate hidden ‘amenity fees’ when they are something I did not even use

What a wonderful hotel! I was in DC for a work trip and decided to stay an extra night My first 4 star hotel, the room was like a staying in a basement and I couldn’t stand another night My extra night was at my own expense so I wanted to enjoy it

Wow did I ever make a great choice! What a difference! Hotel Zena, bright, modern, friendly staff well worth schlepping the 4 blocks with my bag!

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a resort This web site will compare thousands of hotel sites and normally will have rooms much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later! This place is one of my favorites in the area

I’ve been staying here for a very long time If you stay for a few nights you definitely won’t regret itConvenient location, fairly close to the Smithsonian museums and national mallThe 2 queen bed (and sofa bed) room is perfect for families Service is fast and friendlyBreakfast is a bit basic but is included in your room fee which is a major plusMost of the unique amenities are closed in the cooler seasons and parking is a little pricey ($50/day) but otherwise it is a well equipped hotel

Ryan Yturriaga

Pros: Great clean rooms, access to the national mall, relatively a good part of the neighborhood Room service everyday The swimming pool is a little small for the building, and no matter how hot it gets (summer) the water is ice-cold

The room service staff are friendly and very accommodatingCons: (why the 2 stars) – it a hit or miss with the staffing Their breakfast times are 6AM-9AM so really short compared to other chain hotels If you are from the west coast, chances are you will miss the breakfast Here’s the kicker, the waitress literally swipe the food in front of us at 0905AM – instead of closing off the section, we are left just scrambling to get whatever we can get thanks to that very admirable waitress (05-31-2022 – mornings) It left a really bad taste for the 4 people left on the line without consideration at allI save about $5000 a night from Embassy Suites, but this kind of service is not worth it Consider somewhere else

The staff is the most UNFRIENDLY I have ever experienced at a hotel We booked and prepaid for 3 nights through a 3rd party and I called the hotel the day before we were to check in to verify we were confirmed with our room as were to drive 6+ hours the following day It took 2 people on the phone and 45 minutes to “find” my reservation in their system even though we had prepaid for the room in order to get a cheaper rate

Finally they found it and said I was good to go Great We arrive the next day to check in and AGAIN, they cannot find my reservation It took 2 people and ANOTHER 45 minutes to “find” our reservation in their system They were incredibly unfriendly about it too Almost like they were waiting for us to get fed up and leave Finally, magically, it appeared and we’re good to go again With 1 night left in our stay we get a phone call from the front desk saying that we were supposed to only stay 2 nights We inform them, no, we paid for 3 nights It says right here on our confirmation and when we checked in we confirmed it was 3 nights They threatened to call the police on us because we told them we would not check out early They put my husband on hold and never came back on So in the meantime, I called the 3rd party company we booked it through and asked them to contact the hotel and confirm that yes, indeed, we paid for 3 nights My husband got tired of sitting on hold and went downstairs to the front desk to confront them in person By the time he got down there it was all “magically” fixed No apology No accommodation, nothing SO RUDE I’m being gracious in giving them 1 star but only because the room itself was fine and the free breakfast was good But we will never stay here again I have never had a worse experience with a hotel

Overall a cute hotel in a good location, would consider staying here again if neededPros: location Easy walk to most restaurants and near public parking if you need to leave your car for a few days

Beautiful decor, hot water in the shower, modern design, and comfortable bedCons: rooms are very small with minimal workspace Sink area is separate from the shower and toilet There is a lounge or club on a high floor so you may encounter people coming and going to that

Leah Threlkeld

We’re only halfway through our stay… the rooms are pretty nice and clean However, for being a Marriott property (usually very family friendly) this place is 100% not good for kids We had a local friend join us after dinner for a casual drink by the fireplace and witnessed what can only be defined as debauchery

It was not late night by any means Prior to 11pm… a fight almost broke out, the police were called… one lady was so drunk she had her head down on a table and involuntarily vomited on the floor, repeatedly The manager was informed but didn’t seem to do much about the situation We wrapped up our drinks promptly and headed to our rooms Our local friend (who’s originally from NYC) said she had never seen anything like this at a hotel bar… Even if we hadn’t brought our kids, we would never stay here again What a mess

Laura Yasso

I stayed there with my family this past weekend and had a great time The hotel was clean and better located than I anticipated There were lots of great options for food in the area and only 20 minutes walking to the White House and mall

The big negative was the social club which was noisy and intrusive I had to wear noise-canceling headphones to sleep both nights Glad I had read the reviews beforehand and knew what to expect The front desk staff could have given me a better-located room because I asked to be on a floor far away from the club and in the end was right under it

I have been staying here for a long time If you stay for a few days you won’t be let downThe staff is absolutely amazing! Close to the bus line and metro Dog park right across the street Police station on the corner (felt incredibly safe) Grocery store across the street Our room was very spacious and perfect for two adults (one disabled and traveling with a wheelchair and crutches), our 13 yo son and our 150 lb service animal We had plenty of room The staff is simply amazing and very friendly and accommodating

Hotel was in a good location with wonderful service Main entrance doors locked at night the lot across the street only charged $30 for overnight parking instead of the $50 the hotel charges

Poor wifi however, and the shower door kept sliding open while in the shower Also, even though we noted that 4 will be staying, we were given a room for 2: toiletries, towels, no sheets for the sleeper couch, silverware and plates and cups… they do have good service though and although it took a few calls, everyone was very friendly and helpful

Excellent Easy check-in/check-out, staff was welcoming and really really nice

but that’s my experience with people in DC in general Atmosphere and design was top notch Rooms are small but everything you need for a great night sleep Bed is right at window sill height so feels awesome and campybut in a city Great overall design Hallways even felt great Loved the frosted glass showers and toilet but I’m very private and would probably be an issue with me if significant other was with me Although watching her silhouette in the shower would be awesome Can’t beat the price, unbelievably affordable

Joseph Wight

Wasn’t sure at first… Check in process was hassle free, loved that I could do it myself, not much available to help bring heavy/large luggage around but I managed Room was smaller than I thought with an unorthodox style but the bed was massive and incredibly comfortable Loved the fluffy pillows and the tablet being able to operate absolutely everything

The different cool soaps, tap water is safe to drink, then when I asked for cleaning, they weren’t sure when they’d get to it… then did it within hours which was a pleasant surprise Modern, elegant, and hotel of the future… would stay again!

I loved my time here at the CitizenM The decor was amazing and the cleanliness of the rooms were even better Our check in went well and it was very easy

The showers are amazing and the bed is so comfy The bar was my boyfriend and I favorite spot to hang out, the bartenders were lovely and we even made cool with the manager at the bar! She made us some awesome drinks The only thing I didn’t like was the parking situation You have to find random parking on the street However, the hotel was so nice that it outweighed that burden of finding parking Overall, I loved my experience the staff was very friendly and helpful
