Top Ballou Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at citizenM Washington DC Capitol. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and they even helped us find a free parking spot right outside the hotel. We really appreciated that! The room is small, but we actually loved it. Everything feels very new, modern, and clean. The smart features are especially impressive—the quiet air conditioning, automatic curtains, lighting, and other room controls can all be managed easily through the iPad. The hotel has a very modern and comfortable atmosphere, and the location is also convenient for visiting Washington, DC. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!"
