Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"The room we chose was so spacious and comfortable, it felt like a complete apartment! We really felt like we were in our home away from home. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance, and since the weather cooperated, we took full advantage! Will come back again!

10/10 Excellent

"Very easy check in and everything was so convenient. Gym, vending machine, ice machine, water with option of water bottle. Very unique and well maintained organization."

The Melrose Georgetown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Primero quisiera resaltar la ubicación del hotel que es excelente. Tuvimos una muy buena estadía en una suite , amplia y cómoda. El personal fue muy amable tanto en el counter como en el desayuno. Sin embargo, ya deben remodelar algunos acabados del hotel que están desgastados y cambiar las toallas. Las almohadas eran incómodas. Me parece que podrían remodelar ya que hay acabados"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about my stay at the Moxy Hotel! But what I loved the most was the staff—they were truly the best. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. They made me feel right at home and brought such great energy throughout my entire stay. The hotel itself was fun, comfortable, and had such a great vibe, but the people are definitely what made the experience so special. I would absolutely stay here again! ❤️"
