Club Quarters Hotel in Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Another solid stay at the Club Quarters. The area is great for sights and food. Our room was comfortable and quiet."

InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is amazing from the staff, the rooms, and location. Everyone was so helpful and I only wish the pool area was bigger with more lounge chairs and umbrellas. The views are amazing and very conveniently located. Rooms are clean, modern, and so homey. We’ve stayed here for past 3 years and love it every time. The only complaint would be the drinks are very expensive, but expected being in DC. We haven’t eaten at the restaurant, so can’t comment on it—but looks great too!"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"After a work trip to Washington, DC I took some PTO days to see some of the sights. This hotel was absolutely perfect for sightseeing. Just a five minute walk to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum, and a walkable distance from the International Spy Museum as well. The hotel was very clean, the staff were very friendly, and the rooms very modern. Perfect for solo or couples needing a cozy place to stay after DC adventures. The full room automation with lights (brightness and colors), AC, TV, and curtains on an iPad was pretty cool. Food at the downstairs bar was a decent price for the quality and quantity. The couple of times I went to the roof for pictures of the US Capital building the sushi restaurant was packed! I usually don’t sleep very well when traveling and I was very pleasantly surprised how comfortable the bed and pillows were and how well I slept. If I were to travel back to DC and have the opportunity to take some time off I would absolutely stay here again."

Hotel Hive

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Hive, located in the heart of Washington, DC, is an absolute gem. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations for restaurants and nearby attractions. One of the standout features of Hotel Hive is its honeycomb theme very subtle, yet noticeable honeycomb motifs are incorporated throughout the hotel, creating a unique and charming atmosphere. Additionally, there’s a pizza shop within the hotel, and the hotel itself is in the shape of a pizza. The views from the rooftop are simply breathtaking. You can see the Lincoln Memorial down one road and the White House down another. It’s a sight to behold. The cleanliness of Hotel Hive is exceptional. I’ve never seen a cleaner hotel. The location is also fantastic. You can walk to all of the main attractions in Washington from this hotel, or if you prefer, there are plenty of electric bikes and scooters available right outside the front door. There’s also an amazing bar right on the property. I can’t say enough great things about Hotel Hive. My stay was only overnight, but I’m already planning a return trip to Washington, DC. I’m staying at Hotel Hive again and I’m bringing some friends this time."
