Salamander Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Very very clean hotel and great service !"

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"Marcus at reception was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was friendly and always greeted you on the way in and out. Rooms are clean, but really small. Only one ice machine and 2 microwaves on the C floor that is only reached via one elevator. Not very convenient. Excellent area in Chinatown with stores and restaurants all around. Affordable parking in mall across the street."

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment I walked in, I knew I chose the right place. The vibe is awesome. My room was a corner city view and I loved it. The staff were kind and helpful. Rosa's Diner was delicious (try the roasted pineapple butter). This is now a yearly trip for me and I know where I will stay every time."
