Morrison Clark Historic Inn

8/10 Good

"Rooms are small but clean"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. I didnt use the parking valet. It was cheaper to pay for parking on the street. Hotel was very nice and the rooftop bar had really good food. The room wasnt that big but perfect for 2 people. Love how you get complimentary drinks u can use anytime. Live djs was also pretty dope. I think my only issue was not having ice machines on the floors. But they were awesome with making sure i got ice at the front desk. I would defenitly stay again."
