Club Quarters Hotel in Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Missy at the desk was wonderful!! Thank you"

Omni Shoreham Hotel Washington DC

8/10 Good

"I love this hotel. Its almost like a trip out of the country in the middle of DC. They were doing work on part of the hotel, which took away from some of its beauty. Nonetheless, the grounds were well kept. I didn't like my bed this time. It was very uncomfortable to sleep(too hard). The bathroom toilet kept running all night which wasnt great. There was an event there during my stay and the hall on the 5th floor was very loud at times. I think someone even banged my door at some point. There were a lot of kids and teenagers. I cannot blame the hotel for that, I understand they schedule events. They should however maintain the noise levels. The pool is always a great time. I would say that the staff in the pool spa area could be a little more welcoming. They seemed very disregarding at times. Check in was a breeze and staff were very helpful during check in and check out."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"After a work trip to Washington, DC I took some PTO days to see some of the sights. This hotel was absolutely perfect for sightseeing. Just a five minute walk to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum, and a walkable distance from the International Spy Museum as well. The hotel was very clean, the staff were very friendly, and the rooms very modern. Perfect for solo or couples needing a cozy place to stay after DC adventures. The full room automation with lights (brightness and colors), AC, TV, and curtains on an iPad was pretty cool. Food at the downstairs bar was a decent price for the quality and quantity. The couple of times I went to the roof for pictures of the US Capital building the sushi restaurant was packed! I usually don’t sleep very well when traveling and I was very pleasantly surprised how comfortable the bed and pillows were and how well I slept. If I were to travel back to DC and have the opportunity to take some time off I would absolutely stay here again."
