Best End Of Year Accommodation Washington Near Me

Dawn Horton: Thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Great for budget travel. Free breakfast of pancakes and lemonade, kitchen stocked with cooking essentials and 3 fridges to store your food. Great seating areas to socialize with travelers from around the globe including a rooftop patio. Centrally located with nightly outings to various nightlife spots in walking distance

Allison Kisch: After spending 5 days in a big hostel in New York with zero social interaction, I had the most amazing time here and I highly recommend it! the owner made us amazing pancakes and recommended this nice bar. They had us get together and we all went out as a group which was refreshing as that was really what was missing in New York!

Sharron Murray: Very nice hostel, good security, clean, great staff. Comfortable bed, plenty of bathrooms. Somewhere nice to relax. No facilities for laundry. Some of the furnishings were worn and could do with replacing. Recommended

Tessa Stockdale: It’s the cheapest place in D.C but you get what you pay for… the owner is friendly but kept on pressuring us and guests to go out partying with him. We absolutely love to party but weren’t up to it after a big weekend, instead of being cool about it he made us feel lame and I heard him do the same to other guests. The rooms are average and air conditioning is super loud, you’ll need earplugs. The whole place has a weird smell and everything needs maintenance. There’s one tiny kitchen for over 40 people? Don’t bother, worst hostel we’ve stayed in.

Amanda O: I’m shocked by all the good reviews. The rooms are small and so warm it’s uncomfortable, the whole place has a weird smell, specially the lobby with all the shoes. The showers need maintenance, the view upstairs it’s also not really nice… It was very disappointing, I feel nauseous just thinking about it now.

Joseph Mathias: I miss HI Washington DC :( (used to be just a few blocks south of this hostel). As soon as you walk in, the nauseating smell of disgusting shoes fill the air, it smells absolutely rancid! You smell a hint of Febreeze, but it’s not enough to cover up the smell of the shoes. Once you’re inside, the rooms are super warm and cramped, and it smells in the room as well. The towel they give you also has a funny smell (I would encourage you to bring your own). WiFi barely worked. Breakfast food was lemonade and pancakes (weird), and the pancakes were really dry, but hey, they’re free. They need to add more showers and bathrooms, and definitely need to update/modernize them. Half the showers have faulty shower heads, and the know falls off on some of them. Staff also tended to be extremely picky about who the rules applied to. I saw quite a few people walking around the house with shoes, and staff said nothing. There was a gentleman who reeked of weed, and staff didn’t say anything. In conclusion, you get what you’re paying for. Would I stay here again? Definitely not. I hope they take these critiques, along with others, and apply them.

Varsha Thebo: Highly, highly recommend this place to all the international as well as domestic students and/or young professionals who find themselves in DC. You’ll feel right at home!

Boban Markovic: This place definitely deserves more credit! I lived at ISH for two semesters and it was one of the best experiences I had. If you are seeking housing at the great location, don’t have time (or don’t know how) to cook, prefer international crowd to mingle, discuss global issues and hit the bar on the weekend, this place is for you. The location of the house is unbeatable. You can easily reach almost any part of DC metro are from Dupont Circle. World-famous institutions with great speakers and events are just around the corner (Brookings, Carnegie Endowment, German Marshall Fund, AEI, Johns Hopkins SAIS…). When it comes to restaurants, this area provides everything from upscale dining, casual seating, take-out, to 3am jumbo slice pizza (i.e. Duccini’s). The neighborhood is probably the safest in DC, LGBT friendly, with a lot of international people, young professionals, and plethora of cultural events. Public pool, tennis courts etc are not far away. You can enjoy a morning run, read a book or sip coffee on the ISH patio or in the library, or hit the bars and indulge in the nightlife at the U and 14th Street, just a few blocks away. When it comes to facilities, ISH buildings are old, but in a solid shape. The main building is a Tudor style mansion with dining hall, TV room, library, patio, great hall, and the residence area. It looks like Hogwarts! Van Slyck and Marpat Hall are built later, very simplistic, but still a good living area. Rooms are warm in the winter and there are AC units or central HVAC in all rooms. Common areas are clean and well maintained by the support staff, but the cleanliness of your room depends on you. It is a true convenience to wake up in the morning or come in the evening and have a hot meal. While food is not the best in the world (this is not a hotel or your mom’s kitchen), it is pretty good. There are usually two dishes, vegetarian option, salad bar, soup, desert, coffee, tea,… plenty to choose from. Now, the monthly price varies between $1,300-$1,650 per room, depending if it’s a single or shared room. This includes room, food, use of the common facilities and all events. Also, if you stay a bit longer you can work at the front-desk for a few hours every week and save some money. Good luck finding studio (without food) for this price in the neighborhood! The best part of ISH are people. We organized a variety of events, traveled on the weekends, went out together, had movie nights, cookouts, Halloween party, attended a bunch of fancy events with Congressmen and Ambassadors visiting the house. Alcohol is not allowed in the common areas, but having a few drinks in your room with friends before going out is totally ok. Again, this is not a hotel so don’t expect a queen-size bed, etc. It is a student dorm. For your money, you get decent housing, food, great facilities for common use, great location, safe neighborhood and opportunity to make friends worldwide and enjoy yourself. I strongly recommend it to students and interns! ISHers will become your DC family.

Roman Ginzburg: My review is bit dated since I stayed here in 2004 for a year and summer of 2008. I had a wonderful experience and met incredible ppl at ISH. Things have changed since, but would still recommend a stay to anyone new to DC.

Claudia Li-Ting You: For foreign students and interns, this is the best house and family that you will have if you stay here. I am an ISH alumni, and I love this place and all the friends that I met here.

Julisa Ovando: I stayed here about 2 years ago room was nice check in was good BUT I paid for valet parking once I got my car back it was ransacked everything was everywhere I had hundreds dollars worth of items from my trunk stolen I spoke to the manager with my husband they assured me they’d help me out but no 2 years later I have heard nothing. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!

Helena Williams: I stayed here for a week on a school trip and it was great. Our group was well accommodated, and the staff were all very helpful. The rooms were really nice and clean, and there was a whole kitchenette and a balcony. It was also within walking distance of a lot of other cool destinations. I had a great time at this hotel and I would definitely recommend.

Mark Jackson: Excellent location, very inexpensive, genuinely helpful, nice, caring staff, and surprise! The hotel "room" is actually a spacious apartment with a balcony equipped with table and chairs (too cold for us to use). This would be a great place to stay for a week. Tip: Take the room rate that includes parking. Paid in advance it adds $25 to the cost of the room. Otherwise valet parking is $42/night.

Megan Rainey: Great place to stay! Was only there for 1 night, but hotel was clean, rooms were spacious with private balconies and is perfectly located in the city within walking distance to restaurants, bars, the Monument and other historical sites, and Georgetown. Staff was super friendly and helpful with recommendations. Will definitely be staying here whenever we visit DC! Picture is our view from the balcony.

Paul Durkes: Hotel has a great location to everything. The rooms are clean and spacious. Having a balcony is a nice feature too. Cleaning Service is quick and not too intrusive. Only complaint is the shower gel smells horrible. Not sure why it was used.

Maria Bruce: The staff was very friendly. It was difficult to fall asleep because we were on the second floor. Maybe a higher floor would have been quieter. Also the bathroom toilet was way too close to the vanity and toilet paper holder. I kept hitting my arm and shoulder on it. Other than that the room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Zach Powell: My wife and I have never been to a big city before. Coming from a small town in Kentucky, we were worried about coming to D.C. However, the owner (Brian) and Louise has been absolutely wonderful! The apartment was in a very safe and very upscale neighborhood. We were able to pay for a secure parking spot as well. Our neighbors were quiet and working professionals (always gone). If there were any questions, someone always answered them promptly via chat or text! I cannot reccomend Capitol Hill stay enough! If we are ever in DC again, we will be staying with them!

Leslie Vargas: My friend and I came to Washington DC for a girls trip to visit her daughter and my son, who is a student there. We loved the apartment from the first second we stepped into as it instantly felt like a home away from home. It is beautiful and well furnished with high ceilings and tall windows. The apartment is immaculate and every detail is attended to, including a coffee pot that makes delicious coffee and quality linens that are so comfortable after a long day of seeing the sites. It is located in a safe neighborhood and is a nice walk to The Eastern Market, independently owned boutiques, restaurants, a CVS and a wine shop. The apartment is so inviting that we decided to cook there one night and it was so convenient that the The Eastern Market is full of lovely fresh vegetables, fresh meats and a bakery. Outside the market were street vendors with quality goods to sell which was so fun to browse. I have found that where you stay can make such a difference in the tone of a vacation and this one certainly did. It was a such a wonderful time and I’m looking so forward to visiting DC with my husband and staying there again.

leo sokolskiy: Great place to stay in Washington. Walking distance to the National Mall monuments and museums. Very comfortable and quiet location, parking spot is a great plus if you are driving in. Kitchen has all the utensils as well as washer and dryer. Brian and Luis are very accommodating and responsive.

Benjamin Herron: Please stay away from this company at all costs. I stayed with this housing network from September to December and every month we got bills taped to our door of the owner of WIHN owing the building thousands upon thousands of dollars. With a week left in my stay, I had to move apartments because the building(that WIHN never paid for us to live there) found out that WIHN was leasing out the apartment to other people. My roommates and I were only given 3 hours to move out. This company is disgusting and untrustworthy. They take your money and then do not pay any of the buildings you stay at. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

Denise Anderson: My stay with WIHN has been great and extremely convenient! The neighborhood surrounding Senate Square is great and there are a lot of restaurants and grocery stores within a walking distance. The apartment is furnished beautifully and the kitchen has all the appliances that you could possibly need. Randy has been especially accommodating and was always just a phone call away. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my stay at Senate Square and all the amenities it provided.

Kaleb Kelsheimer: The WIHN was perfect for my stay in DC. Not only is the apartment pristine and conveniently located, but the staff is as helpful as they come! They foster a tight knit, family like community that made my stay comfortable and enjoyable... not to mention they have the best maintenance staff in the game! 10/10 would recommend to any Intern coming to the Hill!

Kawhi Leonard: WIHN is the best place for interns in DC! Randy and the staff are so helpful and responsive. Move in was easy and the properties are very nice and clean. Full WiFi, washer dryer, tv, etc. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice place to stay while working in DC!

Zane Boyer: My brother recently stayed with WIHN for his spring internship at the United States Senate and he absolutely loved the experience. The rooms had plenty of space and were very well maintained. The apartment building was centrally located and allowed him to quickly and easily get to work. It was also in a great location for finding top notch restaurants and other activities.

sophia: I had a great experience staying at the Washington Intern Housing Network! The apartment was beautiful and furnished completely, all while being spacious enough for multiple roommates. The service here has been amazing as well, especially Randy who has been very accommodating.

Jeni Sweet: Hostel located at 1010 Penn Ave SE, not NW! Good, clean hostel w nice staff.

gustavo “Gus” rivas-ortiz: Good customer service, breakfast okay, little small for the amount of ppl visiting, amazing location,food and transportation close by.

Emily Linares: Even though the place looks good I would say it is not appropriate for ladies, I was given the room next to the entrance door. Since I wasn’t feeling comfortable nor safe I decided to leave 10 minutes after, I was told I would have a refund by Monday, however, today is Tuesday and I don’t have my money back and they also charge me one night. I wouldn’t recommend this place, once you have a problem or need a refund you won’t have a good answer or service.

Tobias B: If you are a light sleeper or need to get up early, avoid this hotel and rooms on the lower floors and near the elevator. The bar/club downstairs plays loud music until midnight during the weekends, the elevator makes loud noises when it arrives, and you can hear the rooms next to you. Official checkout is at noon, but your room key gets deactivated around 11:45, so you have to reactivate it in the lobby. The receptionist told us "Checkout is at noon guys.", as if we were at fault despite it only being 11:50. The rooms themselves were good and comfortable to stay.

David Kemper: Very comfortable room and attentive staff, but there is a downstairs club that, at least on a Friday night, goes until 3am with both a loud back courtyard that is up against some of the rooms, and after being moved, also has a large outdoor line that made it hard to get much sleep. Unfortunate location of the club given the hotel is comfortable, clean and well cared for.

max costanzo: This hotel is the pits! Asked for a room cleaning and it never got done, they left the towels outside my door. The breakfast was of poor quality. Our room has leak stains on the roof. Beds suck. Front office never answers when you call. The only good thing was the aesthetic of the lobby

Abc Defgh: Intense outside noise. The hotel itself and the staff were wonderful...absolutely no complaints there. My overall experience rating is how the room was advertised. I stayed in Room #100 on a Friday night, but there was zero warning that the bar down below the room would be blasting its music until 3am. I ended up needing to try and sleep on a sofa in the lobby. Beware of extreme noise if you must stay on a Friday or Saturday.

Steven Power: Stay elsewhere if you are HHonors Diamond or want edible breakfast This hotel isn’t terrible, but there are far better nearby options, especially if you are a frequent traveler with Hilton. The good: The beds and room was fine. The staff was friendly. The location is great. The bad: The breakfast is abysmal. See my pictures. Despite being in bar, with sticky floors and dirty tables, the people working down there at breakfast wouldn’t even give me a glass of water, when I asked. She literally told me that I could only have hot water, that was out for making tea. The food looked terrible. Despite the “included breakfast” for Platinum members, we had to go out to breakfast elsewhere both days we were here. It all looked inedible and possibly dangerous. The internet is spotty and slow. It is so bad that I had to switch to my hotspot. The attention to detail is lacking. The shampoo bottle in our room was open and half empty when we checked in.

Carline Charmelus: This is a lovely place to stay. It is located in a nice and quiet residential area. Staff are super friendly. Room was a little small, but clean. The breakfast provided is continental (toast, cereal, coffee & juice). I will definitely go back.

Mark West: An above average hotel but the room needs a little maintenance attention. Wallpaper was pealing off in a few areas and the plug in the bathroom sink was not functioning, had to remove it so the water could drain. A little pricey but due to its location. Restaurant is not open right now. There was no refrigerator in the room. For a room that costs over $200 a night to stay, that should be standard equipment. The staff is accommodating though. We have a late flight so they let us leave our luggage after check out

Ariana Ramirez: This hotel is definitely over rated. My worst hotel experience ever by far. I am really big on reading reviews before I go places but I took a chance on the Beacon & I absolutely regret it. It was an uncomfortable stay. The staff was very professional and had great hospitality though. The room was very small, there was dust all over the bed side tables and phone. The bed sheets and pillow cases had stains of blood. The filter for the heating was fire hazard filthy. No microwave, no fridge, no ice machine & parking is very expensive at almost $60 a night including tax. If you are out by the time valet leaves for the night, once you return you will have to park out front of the hotel instead of in the underground garage. Oh & don’t forget the hotel fees for things that you won’t even use or that’s closed.

Steve Jenkins: We recently stayed at the beacon hotel and corporate quarters in Washington DC. This was singularly one of the worst hotel stays in over 30 years of staying hotels around the world. The list of issues is expansive, and started before check in. So I was traveling for work and booked over three weeks out, as we were flying in from Hawaii after an overnight flight, we requested an early check in at 1pm. The message that we received said they would do their best to help us out. On arrival, the man behind behind the desk was like the soup guy from Seinfeld and insisted that there were no early check ins and that check I was 3pm. It wasn’t that he wasn’t polite, he was just outright rude. On check in we were also advised that’s restaurant is closed, the rooftop bar is closed and there is limited housekeeping due to COVID, despite this there is a $28 daily resort fee 😕. We were the put into a different room. To that which was booked, it’s a standard queen, and was tiny. After clarifying they moved us to a deluxe double double, which was roomier, but was tired and old, with a shower that has water, but no water pressure. Every day the room cards did not work, and resulted in multiple trips to reception to have them reset. Not once, not even once did anyone at reception acknowledge any issue with the room key system, in fact they used all standard hotel excuses about you must have put it near your phone, your credit cards etc etc. the thing is it was soooo widespread and whenever we would be getting a reset there would be a line, it was just unacceptable and avoidable. The 2 lifts in the building are tiny, slow and barely functioning. And finally to checkout, by this point we expected little, and the management didn’t let us down. As we were leaving at 4am in the morning, I went down the evening prior and requested to finalize my account and gain a receipt, so we could just drop keys and go in the morning. I was told this wasn’t possible as the cost of the final night didn’t click in until midnight, so I requested that the reception representative just process it at midnight and then have a printout that I could collect when I left. The reception representative said that as she was leaving before midnight this couldn’t be done and I would have to call down to have this done before I left. In addition the rate on the invoice was more than that quoted, when I showed the reception representative the emails I had received from the hotel, with the hotels email address, she denied that it had come from the hotel, and insisted it was from a third party booking agent. This was the cherry on the very average cake of disappointment that this stay was. I can honestly say that I will NEVER stay in this hotel again, and I would strongly advise that you are better to join the homeless lady at the nearby park, rather than put up with rude, incompetent staff, and unacceptable facilities.

M B: This was our first time staying at this hotel and it completely served its purpose. First the location - it is across the street from the department of Education and one block from the Air & Space Museum. There is a Starbucks on the corner of the hotel and several restaurants on the same block including a McDonalds. This hotel has a parking garage under it making parking very convenient. Parking fee is charged by the hotel per day and we had in and out privileges throughout our stay. There are two restaurants inside the hotel and a small convenience store next to the front desk. The lobby is more upscale than I thought it would be and staff was nice. We got into our room the first night later in the evening and our AC wasn’t working. We called the front desk and within minutes, a maintenance worker was at our door. He changed out the wall thermostat which didn’t resolve the issue and called for assistance to bring a new AC unit. They changed that out within minutes and discovered that there must be a wiring challenge that would take more time to resolve. They contacted the front desk, got us a new room and they walked it to make sure it was in perfect working condition before bringing us the new key cards. They offered to help us move but we were fine getting ourselves to the new room. This was the only challenge we experienced during our stay and these two maintenance technicians were absolutely wonderful. We forgot to get their names but they were on duty Friday, May 20, 2022 in the late evening. Nothing is a short walk in Washington DC as buildings are huge and the distance is deceiving. Every day we walked more than 7 miles and at the end of each day I walked back to the hotel to pick up the car to pick up my Mom to keep her from having to walk back. All throughout Washington DC, there are bicycles and electric scooters available to rent electronically on the spot to make the walking shorter and to get places quicker. We didn’t use them this time but they are a great benefit if needed. We did not eat in the hotel, but it is wonderful that the restaurants were there if we wanted to. This is a pretty perfect hotel to stay in when visiting Washington DC and we will most likely stay here on our next visit and recommend that you consider it as well. We didn’t take photos of the hotel, but it was very nice, clean, comfortable beds and we felt safe.

abe marquez: Rooms are nice, kids enjoyed the pool, at breakfast they had a little for everyone and if you ask for pancakes they make to order. Only issue I had was $50 parking from 3pm- 12pm. We got to hotel at 6:30pm I paid $6.50 at meter until 10pm after 10 was free until 7am when I paid another $4.20 for 2 hrs. So I paid $11 to park overnight then we drove off to see the sights.

Jose Quintero: The room service and the managerial skills of the people working there are really poor. They didn’t manage to make the bed daily unless you asked for it and we stayed in several hyatt’s hotels on this trip, so the pandemic situation wasn’t an excuse. The manager was kind of rude to my mom when she was complaining about an extra fee charged to her credit card, answering with ironies. The infrastructure and the breakfast were fine, the problem: the guest service. I would not stay there again and I would not recommended.

Ms. Naik: Advertised amenities not available, bare minimum toiletries with no body moisturizer, had to have hair drier delivered, no extra blankets in cupboard, maid just keyed into room without knocking or asking, surprising us at 6 pm. No water bottles or water cooler downstairs. Hilton down the road had both the last time we visited. Basic things that many hotels have was missing. Very ordinary, stay elsewhere. Location is the only thing good about this place. And they don’t give you points if you book through hotels.com. I have got point at Hilton in the exact same circumstances. Weird! I think I’ll prefer to stay with Hilton rather than Hyatt.

maionqueen: Room was clean, but big caveat. Do your research, ask questions before booking. All false advertising. They pull money off of your card before you even check in though they say differently. Wifi is not really free unless you agree to register your device with them. wall paper in the bathroom were pealing off, showing a whole at the bottom. Was put in a room overlooking a dumpster full of garbage. No toiletries in the bathroom. It was cold, I didn’t even have a duvet cover, just a coverlet. No notepad (which matters if you’re on a business trip) I was so upset that I couldn’t even sleep. I never recommend this hotel nor would I ever return to it.

LaQuita Rene: This hotel is 5 star! Sadik was our check in agent. Sadik displayed immaculate Customer Service from start to finish. We got a two Queen suite, the suite was very spacious and clean. The views we had were amazing. During this stay my family and I experienced the pool, breakfast, and the bar. All of these amenities were five-star. This is my new go to hotel when I’m visiting DC.

Rubbel Kumar: I booked a room at the Hyatt Place for a special event and surprise for my fiancee. I called the hotel and was given confirmation that the room would be ready on time (3pm) so I could go in and decorate it before my fiancee arrived. Despite this, I was unable to check in at 4:45pm, nearly 2 hours after my scheduled check-in. When I arrived, I was asked to wait while they checked on the room. After waiting for 45 minutes (they obviously forgot about me), I followed up and was simply told my room was not ready yet. This ruined my plans to surprise my fiancee and is unacceptable for a room that cost over $500. On top of all of this, our room had a leak in it. I cannot recommend anyone stay here.

Leanne Downey: The refrigerator in the room was completely full of ice buildup and barely cooled anything we put in there. There was a pull out couch in the room, but there was no extra bedding in the room. Found hair folded into the bathroom washcloth

Steph Dobson: Beautiful, well-maintained hotel. Safe and convenient location in Georgetown, about a 10-minute walk to both the Foggy Bottom and Dupont metro stops. Friendly staff and clean, quiet rooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will keep in mind next time we visit DC! If you are driving, just make sure to budget for the overnight valet parking.

dionne davis: Customer service was great.. Room was awesome. The ambiance of this hotel is great for wedding. The only thing I did not care for was the chicken sausage at breakfast. Close to Rock Park

Carey Kokkonen: The hotel is lovely, clean, and fancy shmancy, but what really makes it great are the people that work there. Everyone was kind and genuine. Above that, the hotel is pet friendly AND located next to a large dog park! The location is pretty and perfectly situated — walking distance to DuPont Circle & Foggy Bottom and to Georgetown. There are enough walkable restos and coffee shops (Das Ethiopian and Bread & Chocolate are faves worth mentioning) as well as pharmacies, groceries, etc., however, walking out of the hotel, you’re not hit with a busy street and gobs of traffic. We quite enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next visit!

g watson: Customer service here is EXCELLENT. Very friendly staff - extra praise to the office manager, Reina Munoz and guest agent Janay! Hilton - you should recognize this location and their staff, they go above and beyond their call to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable. All hotel/hospitality should take this location as the example for service. The rooms are clean, and quite comfortable and roomy - this hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk from Union Station. I was here for business and I was delightfully surprised for the work space and seating area. I was also happy to learn their fitness center is open 24hrs...with my stay being business in nature - it is difficult for me to get a work out in at most places, due to the limited hours fitness centers are available. 100% recommend the US CAPITOL location. If you want to feel welcomed and comfortable, stay here!

Angela Baca: The air conditioning in our room never worked even after they had someone come and fix it. The elevator stopped on every floor. The pool was available but it was foggy and couldn’t see the bottom of the pool because of this. Burned my kids eyes and mine. This hotel is older and not maintained well by Hilton. There are no fans in the bathroom so if you take a hot shower your whole hotel room fills with steam. The people are nice and it is located near a metro. Those are the only two things that are good about this hotel. Only stay here unless you just can’t find anywhere else to stay.

Natalie Martin: The staff was nice and did what they could, but the hotel was overwhelmed and not well maintained. It is unequipped to have more than 1-2 guests arriving or departing at the same time. It also has intentionally inadequate air conditioning. I have stayed at Hiltons in other cities that also have valet only parking. They’ve all had a driveway to pull in and unload your vehicle. This one has only a small shoulder that a maximum of 2 cars can pull into. Everyone else has to just stop in the middle of a busy street. There were no luggage carts when we arrived, left or had to move rooms on the second night. Other guests also told us that there were no luggage carts when they arrived. On the first night the room was consistently hot though we could hear the AC cut on and off. After coming to look at it twice, the maintenance man determined that the compressor in our room was broken so we were moved to a new room (again no luggage cart, we had a lot of stuff as we were traveling with a toddler). The maintenance man explained that the AC units are motion activated so guests will always return to a hot room and it will always get hot in the middle of the night so that’s why it took him so long to figure out that ours was actually broken. This seems incredibly stingy for a Hilton (in addition to being illogical as it takes more energy to cool a hot room than it does to simply maintain temperature). Stay here only if you are a single traveler with one suitcase and don’t mind an 80 degree room overnight and when you return after being out of the room. Other reviews mention how slow the elevator is, that is also true.

Geoffrey D: Parking valet lane is terribly short. Stains on the comforter. Breakfast included not properly advertised on elevator or through hotel. Laid out of first floor is very awkward, why have steps instead of escalator to second floor. Front desk staff were superb. All throughout the stay they were informative, helpful, positive and available! Wait for valet was not long at all, which was surprising. Minor issues, overall decent stay.

David: Very nice hotel - staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs. The Manager greeted us as we were leaving and just make the stay complete. Nice pool and restaurant - special call out Kevon our waiter for one of our evening meals. Great place to stay - close to a metro stop as well.

Sassy Sauce: The hotel is pretty decent. It met all of our basic needs. It was as clean as I think it should be but the rest of my party felt it was ok. Parking can be a little challenging in the area but we managed. The front desk staff were pleasant and very helpful. I would go back if I needed to.

Chippy McLain: Guest services here should be renamed "guest hassles." Checking in and checking out were lengthy, frustrating ordeals. Paid valet parking was ineffective, slow, and overpriced--and apparently the only option. Showers were inconsistent, with cold winning two out of the three mornings we stayed. One of the two elevators was broken leading to overstuffed rides with no option of social distancing as well as long delays in the lobby. The spa had a new twist: a hot tub colder than the pool. I had hoped for a classy, Hilton experience for my family. I wish I had stayed at a Motel 6. I am thankful that I saw no rats inside the hotel. There were plenty just outside the front door; I assume due to the construction and vagrant tents across the street. This section of DC has some big rats. My littlest did think these were cool; my wife, not so much.

Tom M: Place was pretty lit ngl, got tossed with the boys on the daily ripping heaters and fat doinks 24/7 gets a 10/10 for me

James Rose: Rooms are very spacious. Carpets show alot of wear in the room. Obviously this is an older building but they have done well maintaining it. Staff was very polite and located in quiet area. For the $ I would definitely stay here again. Especially compared to what I pd at other places in DC during my stay here.

Ron Milkowski: Great location to GWU and Foggy Bottom Metro stop. Room was spacious. Bathroom was small but it served its purpose. Breakfast was not very good. Seemed like everything was pre made and warmed. Made my own breakfast in my kitchenette seeing Whole Foods was a 5 minute walk away. I found the team to be nothing but nice. No issues whatsoever. On-site Parking is tight. Only a few spots available in their underground parking. Call ahead. Would recommend Foggy Bottom Residence Inn and will be staying there again.

Carol Aguilar: I have stayed here numerous times. Easy walk to grocery and restaurants. Washer/dryer available and supplies for purchase at the front desk. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is back, now hopefully the evening snack will follow soon.

Jason Barrett: The staff all have Aspergers. They are unable to communicate properly and they have no care or concern for the guests. They gave our room away, forcing 4 of us to sleep in one bed and told us to leave our car in a loading zone when they ran out of space. There are tents with transients around the hotel, yelling at all hours and in your face. There is no housekeeping unless you go out of your way to request it. The hotel should be renamed the Bates Motel.

Mason Winkle: good business

Robofortress: Amazing organization.

Andrew Stick: nice

Squirrely: Five stars all around. The rooms are elegant, updated, clean, and comfortable. Each staff member I dealt with went above and beyond to help. I was especially pleased with the front desk employee who grabbed me a cup of coffee in the middle of the night when I had to catch an early flight. The location is excellent and there are plenty of restaurants and attractions within walking distance.

Liem Huynh: We stayed for one night in the Metropolitan Suite in June 2022. The room desperately needs renovation and service was nonexistence. Disappointing experience overall. No prearrival email, no response when I emailed the butler service for restaurant reservation, zero communication from the butler during the entire stay. Unfriendly lobby staff, no greeting, had to open the door on my own at times. The Metropolitan Suite was old and in need of a renovation. Dirty pillow cases, worn out carpets, water from faucet smelled a little punky and we even found pieces of shattered glass on the floor. Only positive experience was the check-in, after that everything went down hill. Recommend trying something else while you’re in DC. Much better experience at the Ritz Carltons if you’re a Marriott fan.

Joe J.: Amazing tea experience in DC, probably the best in terms of service, flavor, presentation and selection of teas. The cherry blossom touch is a nice and pleasant surprise. Although it is on the pricey end, definitely recommend!

Ayesha SH: I attended the Whimsy event on April 1. Pros and cons below: Pros: Wine was good. We ordered a Napa cab so it was costly. Ambiance was decent. The best part was their waiters who were super friendly and hospitable. Cons: I was told parking would be validated prior to attending the event. On the day of they refused. We spent upwards of $600 and they wouldn’t validate the parking. Food was ok. I didn’t feel that great later at night. The princess thing was childish, hilarious, and unnecessary. Adults attend these kinds of events not kids. Overall not worth the money they charged us.

Lucy Yao: Great location, amenities and space. Looks clean upon first glance, but after a couple hrs walking around, all our socks and feet were filthy. Not for families with young kids or anyone planning to remove their shoes at some point. It’s a shame, as I really like a lot of features about this place and would still recommend for adults who aren’t going to be bothered by dirty floors. For $450/nt, I expected not to have to be down on my knees Lysol wiping when first arriving at my hotel.

Tondi Bailey: Highly recommend staying here for any trip. It is the perfect mix between an airbnb with hotel amenities. Easy check-in/check-out. The room was very clean and staff was super helpful. We did experience trouble with access to our room via the app, but it was resolved by staff quickly. 10/10 experience.

INSECURITIES: Stayed in the one bedroom apartment, which was very nice and clean. However, I wish I could say the same about management they were very rude and unprofessional. Me and my girlfriend stayed here for her birthday weekend and we actually enjoyed the stay so much we decided to extend it. The lady at the front desk Nataya provided us with inaccurate information in regards to the check out times and amount. An associate from the hotel barged into our room and did not give us enough time to respond. I felt as if our privacy was invaded. She advised us that we were supposed to be checked out and after explaining the situation the associate continued to talk over us being very rude and our access to the unit was restricted. We spoke with someone at the front desk and tried to rectify the situation and instead of communicating appropriately we were continuously talked over and interrupted and no one took accountability for the associate providing inaccurate information. We were then kicked out of the hotel completely having to be escorted to just get our things out of the unit and was lied on saying that we got into a fight with one of the managers even though it was the manager being rude. Very unpleasant and traumatizing experience. Poor customer service.

EIANKA ANICETTE: The location is definitely up an coming. It reminded me of downtown Brooklyn (Dumbo) during the building of the new constructs. I give it about 3 to 5 years and that area will be a sight for sore eyes. Over all the staff were very helpful especially when it came to accessing the room key. It seemed a bit tricky but honestly after being shown what to do it became very easy to navigate/access the building. The only thing I would suggests is getting a thicker mattress or a much more stable platform. While we were sleeping the head area kept sinking and the pillows went through. Will definitely return.

Karen Koller: The Jefferson absolutely delivered a 5 star experience. The service was outstanding and all the little touches like a tv in my bathroom mirror or a stool for my purse went above and beyond what was expected. One of the best here. They have one of the best bar and restaurants I’ve had while staying in a hotel. The Quill and the Greenhouse had wonderful food and drinks ! Service was top notch. Every single staff member went above and beyond my expectation. A must if you are staying in DC ! So many amenities and extra touches.

Thomas Whitelock: It was a great stay from start to finish. The staff was very nice and friendly and tried to make sure we had everything we needed. When we walked up with our luggage the doorman ran out and gave us bottles of cold water, it was 96 degrees that day, it was appreciated. I drank 2 bottles before I was even checked in. One thing that stood out, my wife used the extra pillow from the closet the first night we were there. The next day, house keeping put out 2 extra pillows. That was a nice touch that they noticed and made a change. The slippers were an unexpected bonus. We had room service for breakfast during our stay, one thing, the food does come faster than the estimated wait time, so be ready. I loved the lemon ricotta pancakes. It sounds like an odd combination, it is not. I am not sure it is why I gained 3 pounds, but I am sure it did not help. There are 2 areas that need improvement. The toilet paper, it is not good, it just feels cheap. Also, there is no vent fan in the bathroom and it gets really steamy in there. One is an easy fix, the other not so much.

Raj: The lobby area, the rooms, the library, the books, incredible, impeccably inviting and beautifully laid out and designed. This is the Best hotel in DC without a doubt. Just had dinner, and oh boy, that was something else. Food for sure was amazing, but service, friendliness, and good natured cool warmth of the staff, a whole other level, Katie and John were my servers, honestly, no words. Jefferson hotel is for sure the Best!

Jonathan Holloway: Our 2-night stay was excellent. The service and amenities from the entire team was great. In the restaurant, we had wonderful service from Abdel and Jorge for brunch and John in the bar. Everyone was very welcoming and provided excellent service.

Mott U D’Potyou: I spent four nights recently. The property is recently remodeled and quite nice. The building is stately. I was told that I had been upgraded twice from my original booking. (I expressed a desire for a room in the front of the building and that led to the second upgrade.) The staff are over-the-top accommodating. They spoiled me with kindness and flattery. After a couple days I found myself refusing the constant offers of service or assistance. So why a three? Well a big turnoff was the restaurant. My “deal” included breakfast. Who wants to run out in the morning searching for something to eat? Besides the pre-remodel restaurant had a Michelin star! That restaurant is no longer there. Currently, breakfast toast costs four dollars (two slices wrapped in a blanket). A frozen bagel is $6. Frozen Belgian waffles are like $19 or $20. I paid $11 for an iced coffee in the bar. I mean the food is very ordinary and costs an arm and a leg. I was told by one of the receptionists that the hotel allows $60 something for these included breakfasts. I guess that includes your tip. To be fair all these “top tier” hotels practice highway robbery in their bars and restaurants, probably figuring that a lot of the patrons don’t want to go out searching for food and drink. Whatever the reason I hate it and feel like it’s abusive. I’m not poor; but, I really have a problem with four dollar toast and an eight dollar glass of juice. And the staff, I came away feeling that they felt enormous pressure to be perceived as pampering the guest. That made me feel creepy. All I ask is to be treated with some respect. Yet I left the Jefferson feeling like the staff would be glad I was gone. They could stop acting.

Schan McLaurin: Went to the Greenhouse for breakfast! Food was amazingly delicious!! Small portion but very tasty. I spent $80 for breakfast and My husband was still hungry.

Sue Swezeny: A beautiful place. Only went for a cocktail stop. The Dreamsicle is a must have. Sweet, refreshing, and a nice jolt of vitamin C in the citrus. Yum!

Lauren Fiabane: From the time we pulled in to the time we left, the people of the Jefferson were exceptional. Katie at the bar. Susan, the historian. Yolanda at reception. Simply above and beyond service, delivered with sincerity and passion for what they do.

Alvin Yan: Does not provide any help when you urgently need it at the end of the semester.

Dylan G: Absolutely shite

Jack Yang: Very corrupted
