Top Upper Northwest Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

4/10 Poor

"The front desk staff was rude and unprofessional. That was weird because she was the only one with that attitude. Also, we have been before and the lady's were great. The restaurant service was also very disappointing. We waited 38 minutes just for someone to take our order, and when the food arrived, the order was incorrect. Thankfully, the manager acknowledged the issue and kindly provided the meal complimentary. On a positive note, the room and surrounding areas were clean."

citizenM Washington, D.C. NoMa

8/10 Good

"Nice clean hotel, easy checkin, comfy bed, shower didn’t have a lot of water pressure though, TV is quirky and won’t cast /mirror to all streaming apps so limited to what u can watch, and a constant squealing/high pitched noise ran all nite in my room. Went to ask front desk and they said they’ve had others complain too but offered no solutions. Was helpful to have a grocery store right across the street though."

The Watermark Hotel

4/10 Poor

"I was very disappointed when I check in the Hotel. The lady who check in for me said that my "Junior King Suite" is not available, she asked me to down rate to a Queen Suite. I told her that I want to have my Junior King Suite as I booked online. If that's not available than you guys shouldn't post online. I told her that I want to speak to a Manager she said she is the Manager. I told her that I stay in the hotel many times and I never have any problem before. Then she made me wait for another while then said let me have my Junior King Suite. That was the first time I have a bad experience when I check in. Other than that every else was Excellent. "

The Darcy Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is in a great location for navigating around DC. Bear in mind that we were there during Memorial Weekend, so we didn't experience the usual traffic. We also didn't visit the hotel bar, experience its food, or use its gym. The hotel mentions it has Pelotons but the rest of their equipment is bare minimum in terms of strength machines and free weights. The Darcy also touts that it is dog-friendly which basically means dogs are allowed to stay. They did not offer any amenities for dogs or even a welcome treat as other dog-friendly hotels tend to do. Additionally, they place guests with dogs on the second floor. I'm not sure what the other rooms were like, but our carpet was filthy to the point that I never once walked on it barefoot. It also smelled like a locker room. We were also a bit disappointed that the room didn't look like the photos you see online. The linens are the same, but the room itself is very small and the bathroom is tiny. Prepare to pay $35 per day for amenities like bottles of purified water, in-room coffee, and the gym - whether you use them or not."

The Bethesdan Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very pleasant one-night stay in our room on the tenth floor. The room and bathroom were clean and well maintained. The bedding was wonderful—excellent mattress, cozy comforter, and a choice of four quite different pillows. The floor was quiet; I didn’t hear a sound until morning. If you book through a third-party, have your Hilton Honors account number ready at check-in or be prepared to pay for internet service in the room. The name on the Hilton membership/account must be the same as the name on the hotel reservation."
