"This hotels delivers consistently good value. Beds are comfortable (not soft), bathrooms are clean and water is hot, and coffee maker in room is great, plus lounge on 2nd floor. Good location also.
Suggest requesting a higher floor as neighborhood can get noisy."
"This was a great, reasonably priced hotel with underground parking for our DC visit. The staff was friendly, especially in the dining room. We stopped for a drink most evenings and enjoyed the bar and waitstaff's camaraderie; they remembered us, the couple on a last-minute vacation, even though a corporate event took over the place for a few days. We ate dinner there a few times and found the traditional pub-food menu perfect after a long day of nonstop walking and my unwillingness to take another step (20,000+ steps each day).
Breakfast offerings were good, though they poured only half a cup of coffee, which didn't satisfy the first cup of the day.
We didn't use the pool area, as the weather was cool and rainy, though it looked like a nice place to relax if the weather had been nice.
It was an easy walk down 14th Street to the McPherson Metro station, which we used to get around the city every day. (Stop at the Brown Bag for breakfast and coffee). And local restaurants were easy to access, with a few only 5 minutes down the street.
There was much to enjoy in DC, and our home base at the Washington Plaza Hotel was a great location and a pleasant experience."
"Picked this because reviews said it's a great stay for solo traveler.
Was on business there for the next day Monday, already on Sunday.
It's in the middle of town, by a church.
It's nice to just walk around and I got some food which I took to my hotel room to eat while watching tv. They have a huge amount of channels.
Location is walkable from metros and bus stops.
I definitely will stay there again if on business for downtown DC.
Staff I met (reception and cleaning lady) was very friendly.
Makes you feel at home."
"The front desk staff has an incredible gift for hospitality. Sabrina was so warm and welcoming to me and every guest. The location is good, the room and bathroom were a little tired - the owners could invest some money on the asset and take care of that front desk staff! They are what make the hotel great."
