Top Founders Library Hotel Reviews

citizenM Washington DC NoMa

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here a couple of times. The rooms and processes are unique in design. The staff has been wonderful. We enjoy the rooms."

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed in this hotel multiple times and I keep coming back because the location is excellent: the McPherson Square metro station is about 15 minutes walk but the bus stop is right next to the hotel. Checking in was easy and the front desk agent (John) was extremely professional, and he also helped us find restaurants. In my traveling companion’s room there was an issue that we addressed and they fixed it by the time we returned from our trip. They recently renovated the lobby and it is beautiful - I’m hoping they will start renovating the rooms as well as they’re a little outdated. No issues with cleanliness, there’s a coffee/tea maker and a mini fridge in the room and they provided 2 bottles of water and coffee/tea. Housekeeping kept refilling what needed. If you have a car and want to use their garage, that would be an extra charge (I believe it was $50/night). Breakfast is $18/person. When we checked out we asked to store our luggage in their storage and they did accommodate it. I highly recommend this hotel for those who do looking for a nice hotel experience and enjoy what DC can offer."

"Unexpected fees but otherwise nice"

District Hotel

"Had character"

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Historic charm, well updated, extremely clean."

U Street Capsule Hostel

8/10 Good

"You can't ask or a better location, especially at the price. Nothing but bars, clubs, restaurants, convenient stores, Metro stations and buses nearby. Easy to get from here to the Capitol and other tourist attractions. The neighborhood is very nice and clean and pretty. The property itself is is nice. They have a cafe shop near the entrance. My only real complaint was that the capsules don't have charging ports, and that there are no showers on the floor. There is a community restroom on your floor, but you have to go to the basement level to take a shower."

"Great stay"

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

"My family stayed here for the weekend. We came to town for Howard’s Bison Day. The location was convenient and within walking distance to the metro and restaurants. You could choose to park in nearby lots but we chose the valet at the hotel which was convenient."

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this place.It had a very warm cozy feel to it unlike most hotel chains.The decor was beautiful in the rooms and lobby.Hotel staff very friendly and helpful.Easy walk to metro.I would definitely stay there again."
