Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel were amazing! They were very welcoming and made staying at the hotel a delight! The restaurant was high level as well- especially being able to eat and drink by the pool."

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean, staff was very accommodating in suggesting places, or getting a cab, was courteous in checking us in a little early; breakfast was reasonably price and filling. Location was walking distance to the National Mall, which was our intended place of visit; walking at night was also safe."

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was absolutely amazing and so welcoming! I had such a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed my experience from beginning to end. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in a great centralized location, which made getting around so easy. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made me feel right at home. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and providing a great experience. I would absolutely recommend this location to all of my friends and family! I had an amazing stay and would definitely come back again. Thank you for making my trip so special! ❤️"

Conrad Washington, DC

8/10 Good

"The room was amazing, and the property itself was absolutely stunning. Overall, I had a good stay, but there were a few areas where the service could have been better. There were several moments when staff didn’t seem as attentive or knowledgeable as I would have expected, even when asking fairly standard questions, such as the cost of valet parking. There were also times when calling Guest Services that the person answering the phone didn’t provide the warm or welcoming greeting I would typically expect from a property at this level. I also felt that the hotel could have been a little more accommodating with certain requests, particularly late checkout. While I understand that late checkout is always subject to availability, it was a little disappointing to see that a 4:00 PM checkout appeared to be available as a benefit for certain American Express guests, while there seemed to be much less flexibility otherwise. That said, the staff did make an effort to accommodate where they could, which I appreciated. Aside from those service-related issues, I really enjoyed my stay. The room was excellent, the hotel is beautiful, and the overall experience was still a good one. With a little more consistency in attentiveness, hospitality, and guest accommodations, the experience could have been exceptional."
