Initially my mom and I stayed at the Thompson Hotel as a quick weekend getaway for my birthday, but it was a vacation for my mom as it was her first getaway since before the pandemic and her first time visiting DC She lived her best life! First off, I would like to thank the staff for being so gracious, kind and attentive during our stay I was allowed a late checkout for which I greatly appreciated

Our train home was scheduled later in the afternoon and after walking 20k steps yesterday making memories, I knew it’d be best that we sleep in I wish I could’ve stayed an extra night but I had to return home for an obligationThis hotel is BEAUTIFUL! It looks even better in person I sometimes have to visit DC for work and after staying at the Thompson hotel, this was the first time I thought “I’d come back” Our room was upgraded to a corner room which very spacious and clean The only complaint I have, although it could be the “new modern,” is that the shower is not fully enclosed I’ve stayed at a resort last summer with the same structured bathroom, so it could be that I’m not used to the new layout Continental breakfast is offered in the mornings The rooftop bar is very chill, however you have to take the elevator down to the lobby and then directly to the rooftop I didn’t get a chance to experience the restaurant but I’m sure I’ll do that my next visit 😉 There’s also multiple restaurants nearby The metro is less than a 10min walk away and it runs every 20min (I work/commute in NY so for those that understand, in case you miss your train by 1min… just pause and be patient lol) This hotel is also dog friendly and is near a dog park I have a dog-phew now, so I might bring him during my next stay

A fresh and stylish hotel, quite nice for the price Hyatt has really tried to introduce a young, high-design feeling here Rooms are of adequate size and function well

Rooftop bar was closed when we were there and I am not sure what other amenities were available A little under-staffed, reception often seemed to have long lines for check in and out My star-rating is based on value for the price and general ambiance

B Daisy

Stayed here for four nights It’s a nice, small, clean hotel The rooms are well designed and the location was convenient

They have complimentary coffee and pastries to grab for breakfast, which was nice The quality of the sheets and towels could have been much, much better They don’t provide daily housekeeping so you have to request for it the day before We asked for having our room cleaned three times, but only got housekeeping on day one No housekeeping on the second day On the third day, they woke us up by knocking at the door at 7 am, handing us a bunch of towels There was no other form of housekeeping on that day either I liked the rooms and the location, but I will not be going back because of the rude behavior

Beautiful hotel Tradition and old Washington charm surround you Next to the White House

Built in 1918 there are so many beautiful detailsDon’t miss the Famous round robin barCheck in with seamless and the customer service was exceptional The rooms are spotless and much of the staff has been here for generations I highly recommend this hotel

Carol M

Staying at the Willard Hotel is a sublime experience! This is my second time (08/22) staying here The last time was back in 07/08 Nevertheless, the Willard’s standards of excellence have not slipped! We stayed in a standard room which was clean and well-stocked with Nespresso coffees and tees

The bed was firm yet comfortable The linens and pillows were soft, and there were plenty of deluxe towelsThe magnificent lobby and first level are filled with plenty of history The hotel even has its own museum The historical Round Robin bar still serves excellent cocktails Don’t forget to look up at the gold leaf ceiling lobby to find your state’s emblem Very impressive to see all 50 states represented! We will certainly stay at The Willard when we return to Washington You are centrally located to all major sites and are 1,500 feet from The White House

Make sure to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking your hotel This website will compare thousands of booking web sites and normally will have rates a lot cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of the best in this area

I’ve been coming here for a very long time If you stay for a few nights you definitely won’t be let downWe spent the night here before the Easter egg roll at the white house It was exceptional Easy to get in everything was right up front You do pay for a premium but due to the location it was well worth it The room was clean and nice We had the high tea and that was quite the experience If you go during the Cherry blossom festival we have the option of drinking tea with the Cherry blossom cuttings and that was quite the experience I would highly recommend this We only had pastries and coffee from the cafe and they were good It is a five-star hotel

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

The hotel was a great place to stay The rooms were spacious and well laid out The front desk stay was pleasant and efficient

The valets were prompt as well when I needed to retrieve my vehicle Overall I thought the combination of location, amenities and room comfort was greatMy only negatives involved the hotel’s restaurant It took 10 minutes for the waiter to come take my order despite it not being busy I ordered a burger, fries and lemonade When the food arrived the hamburger bun was half torn and the fries were cold Also, I still had not received my lemonade The runner told the bartender about my drink and later my waiter came to check on me I asked where was the lemonade and he looked confused The waiter returned 5 minutes later to ask if I was enjoying my meal and I told him I’d enjoy it more with the drink I ordered So after my meal was done I finally got my beverageI received similar bad service for brunch I was seated promptly but waitress was missing When she did arrive, I had no qr code to view the menu When she returned with menu, she said hopefully kitchen will take it since brunch was technically over She did apologize for forgetting about my table The bacon was limp and undercooked and raisin brioche was missing the syrup Thus, I had 2 meals and 2 bad service experiences at the restaurant I recommend management address this with some training for their staff

Naomi Sakata

My family and I had a great stay at the Canopy Our room was well-appointed and comfortable We had a lovely view of the river and the flowering cherry trees along the shore of the golf course located across the river

One aspect of the room that I really liked, especially after a long day walking around the city, was the shower We had just spent four days in NYC in a cramped hotel room with a bathroom that was slightly bigger than an airplane bathroom The bathroom and shower at the Canopy were palatial in comparison and I especially appreciated the relaxing rainfall shower after a long day walking around the city The location of the hotel can’t be beat There are many great restaurants to choose from just a few steps from the hotel and it’s an easy walk to the Tidal Basin and National Mall If you don’t feel like walking, you can hop on the free (FREE!!!) Southwest DC Shuttle bus less than block from the hotel at the CVS on Maine Street Staff at the hotel was excellent We were checked in by Diana and she stayed in contact by text throughout our stay The restaurant on site is a great option for breakfast and dinner I look forward to staying that The Canopy at The Wharf on my next visit to DC

Aisha Youins

This was my second time staying at this location in the past twelve month and the experience was nothing short of exceptional From the time I called to confirm my arrival time until the point at which I checked out, I felt both valued and welcomed The hotel staff went above and beyond my expectations

As soon as I checked in, I was greeted with a friendly text to make sure my process had gone smoothly and to see if I needed anything I enjoyed cocktails and snacks at the rooftop lounge and breakfast at the hotel restaurant The location is perfectly located on The Wharf also The only thing I noticed is that I was charged for WiFi I assumed my membership status covered that charge, however maybe I’m mistaken Nonetheless, I highly recommend The Canopy by Hilton on The Wharf and would absolutely stay again

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

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

Rewine-ing the Week Podcast

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

My husband and I stayed here after a concert at Nationals Park You can’t beat the location if that’s your destination, BTW We’ve stayed at a lot of hotels in the Hilton group over the years, and this is easily the nicest Hampton Inn we’ve ever visited

The room was beautiful, and very comfotable and clean The use of space is smart and interesting We had tons of towels, and plenty of super hot water The staff was great– we were able to check in early despite the intense rush Breakfast was pretty standard for Hampton Inn offerings, but it was well done, with plenty of gluten free options for me Obviously the hotel is working with space constraints when it comes to parking and seating in the lobby for breakfast– but it’s in the middle of the city, what can you expect? We were able to find on street parking directly across the street from the lobby, and it ended up being more affordable than valet service All in all, this was an excellent experience and we enjoyed it very much

Serene Says

Better than I expected Rooms were spacious and clean Get a room with the stadium view

Excellent views! Quiet atmosphere and cozy feel Staff was all friendly and welcomingBreakfast was average, plentiful Parking was $55/night plus tax with valet only There’s a lot right across the street that was MUCH cheaper and very accessible Use it! Pic of the parking lot from my floor is attached to this review The rooftop bar and grille were only worth visiting if you want to take in the nice views and chill atmosphere The food was HORRIBLE It was like eating microwaved elementary school lunchables! The drinks were extremely watered down There are plenty of restaurants right next to the hotel to eat at Don’t waste your time or money there The restaurant is the sole reason I gave this location 4 stars

Eugene Mosley

This place is a wonderful location The Customer Service at the Front Desk were so Kind & Helpful Especially Neutral & the other Lady that was working doing my check in & out! I apologize for not remembering her Name🤯

So Caring & HelpfulThe Guy who was the Sunday morning as I checked out was a 3 out of 10 He’s disposition was very unprofessional! I asked about retrieving our cars from valet and his tone was as if I didn’t understand what he was saying I didn’t like him and hope to never have to deal again at any Hilton property!Thanks again Hilton for an Amazing Stay💎

Nice and clean rooms with room service on both days of our stay, which was pleasantly surprising You don’t get that unless you ask these days Friendly staff that tended to all our requests

Were upgraded to a suite for one of the rooms on our reservation Kitchen was super helpful as we are traveling with a 10 month old infant I ordered multiple food and grocery deliveries to be left at the reception and never had an issue Good job hotel management! You’re doing a much better job than some others in the same class out there

Carrie K

Honestly, I’d I could give more than 5 stars I would Everyone was incredibly kind and made us feel like we were coming home The breakfast was nice, but again the wonderful staff helped put it over the top! The valet was helpful and convenient

They let us pack our car and keep it garaged after our checkout so we could finish out our day again The rooms were cozy and large I felt like I got much more than what we paid for Our family will definitely be staying here again!

Kristina. Lumapas

Overall everything was great from check-in to checkout Room was clean, bathroom felt luxurious and kitchen was fully equipped The only downside was the bed size

We booked a room with king bed and what we got was a queen We reported this to front desk and they insisted that it was their king size bed I couldn’t be wrong with the size since we have a regular king bed at home, not even a California king bed, and theirs was just too small, I’m very sure it was a queen If you’ll get assigned to room 1010, don’t expect a king bed, it’s just too small My husband slept on the couch since me, our preschooler and him couldn’t fit

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

Katie Roth

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

Jenny Swartz

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!

Diane E

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

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

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

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

Stayed for 5 nights 5/23/2022-5/28/2022 and it was excellent We had a standard double room Beds comfortable, plenty of outlets, large TV, very quiet

Room was spotless We even had a nice view of the Washington Monument! The staff we encountered were all wonderful We ordered room service one night and the food was very good and packaged well The location cannot be beat! It’s walking distance to just about everything depending on your stamina By the end of the trip we were pretty tired Metro station is only about 2 blocks away Smart elevators were nice! Highly recommend staying here My family of 3 had a great time

I have now stayed here twice and enjoyed my visit to Washington Last time in September it was phenomenal Great service, very clean, and overall very relaxing

This time it everyone was nice (especially at 12 o’clock at night), but when we got to our room there were left over rose petals on the floor and smudges on the front of the sink This made me concerned about the cleanliness of the sheet, tables, etc thus making me do a scan of the rest of the room before jumping into bed Due to there being an epidemic I would only assume that cleanliness was a top priority… Otherwise I enjoyed my stay it’s great walking distance from the hotel to monuments as well as Museums

John Tucker

Great location Very nice staff I had a base room with two full-sized beds

Only concern was that my top sheet was not long enough to tuck inliterally got in bed, pulled the covers up to my chest and felt a rush of air come from the bottom of the bed Why housekeeping made the bed that was is beyond me and when I tried to tuck it in, it was too short at the top to even come within 2 or 3 feet of the top of the headboard Nice room otherwise

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

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

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

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
