Top Ballston Hotel Reviews

Salamander Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was amazing! Everything from location, service and rooms! We would absolutely stay here again! "

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"This is a unique hotel with a lot of fun, funky character. PROS: The ambiance was unique and enjoyable throughout the stay. The technology in the rooms is impressive. The bed was spacious and comfortable. Fun design and a very different room layout than at most hotels. Sushi restaurant and bar were both excellent. CONS: The sink was outside of the room with the toilet and the shower and the shower area was a little cramped. While you're not far from anywhere, it is still about a 10 minute walk *to* anywhere."

The Watermark Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk was amazing on letting you know everything. They kept the breakfast area very clean & the coming out fast & hot. And the room was spacious & clean. Location was very convenient to some restaurants & to a very big mall only 5mins away. The lobby/lounge area was set up nice & cozy. Very relaxing & modern. Wren restaurant was also a very nice to have right there in the hotel. Would definitely come back again!"

Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed for 7 nights between Christmas and Net Years. The staff were all extremely professional and very kind! The concierge was so friendly I felt like we had made a new friend. The rooms were clean and well stocked. The hotel was in the perfect Place to walk to the Smithsonian museums. The breakfast buffet had a large assortment of hot and cold foods each morning. Our suitcase broke in the flight to DC and it was no problem for me to have another one sent to the hotel from Amazon. I don't write reviews often but this hotel. Especially the staff, really stood out. I would highly recommend this hotel!"

Fairfield Inn by Marriott Washington D.C.

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience! Perfect location if you want to park your car and taxi to the tourist spots! Rooms were clean, smelled lovely and had what we needed! Breakfast was hot and fresh for us! Victor (manager) checked us out and was soooo pleasant! We will definitely be back! "
