"Easy 15 minute walk to convention center. Safe are. Metro station one block away. Several coffee shops, caffees and restaurants near by. Enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the onsite restaurant. Beds were very comfortable as well as the pillows."

The Watergate Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Everything was great. My only suggestion is that - sadly the pastry nook is closed. There isnt an option for a coffee bar complimentary. I had to get coffee from the restaurant for my partner when he was sick- I bought two coffees so he would not have to make a trip and it was over $20 for a couple of coffees (I got one). I was like - this is kinda silly. And parking valet is the only option if not on the street parking and that is $65 a night. So it was wonderful but - it would be great if those little things were complimentary. The food was good at the restaurant. Not great but good. The best thing besides the view from our room - was the staff is very good. Everyone is VERY good. Maybe I could say - they are great. The lady who checked us in - the cleaning team- anyone I asked for anything - the doormen (doorpeople) - the people in the restaurant and bars. Very good staff. The hotel is a little "dated" but I hope it stays kinda retro because it is a historic hotel. I just hope they somehow do something even if they have to add $20 a night to the rooms - to have the valet parking be free and give the visitors a free coffee barn downstairs. My room only had one coffee cup and no milk so making coffee in the room did not work."

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Really good hotel conveniently located a walking distance from all the museums and attractions, that is if you don’t mind walking. There are restaurants, CVS, parks, metro station and bars located in the vicinity. The pool was nice and clean and there were plenty of beach chairs, the outside bar was fully stocked and the drinks were good. The only “issue” I had, even though it’s not really an issue because they’re making the hotel and experience better, is that I missed out on the indoor bar/restaurant because it was under renovation. Missed out on that but it is looking good. I’d definitely recommend it especially if this is your first time in DC. I’d definitely stay again in this hotel and hopefully the indoor bar/restaurant is completed."

"This is a nicely maintained historic hotel in a good location. We were surprised to have a kitchenette, sitting area, and dressing table area in our room. It was comfortable and roomy for the two of us. The lighting was quite dim in some areas. They could stand to use some stronger lightbulbs in the dressing table area which as pretty useless for applying make-up. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The bus stop is located less than a block away, and was very convenient for getting into the Smithsonian area on bus 10. It is simple to use and inexpensive at $2.25 per trip, paid with a credit card using Tap-to-Pay. Couldn’t have been easier."
