Top Ballou Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect!!!"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay for the price, the location is great. The extra pillows were in a zippered bag in a drawer under the bed which we didn’t realize at first. The hotel has a great breakfast buffet which we should have added on to our stay. The bed was okay."

Hilton Washington DC Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is beautiful and clean centrally located to major DC attractions and the train station Staff extremely courteous and helpful. Bedding and rooms very clean, comfortable and spacious"

Residence Inn Washington Capitol Hill/Navy Yard

10/10 Excellent

"The room was well equipped, and spotlessly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The oatmeal "bar" was delicious - with plenty of healthy, sugar-free toppings. Also appreciated having plain Greek yogurt as an option. The reason I picked this hotel was the proximity to nationals Park with a really good price point (under $200 for the night that I stayed). I do feel that the valet parking is overpriced. For someone who's staying at your hotel, $50 is more reasonable expectation for guest to pay for valet parking."

Hyatt Regency Crystal City

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable"

Cambria Hotel Washington D.C. Navy Yard Riverfront

8/10 Good

"Rooftop only for restaurant; bring bottled waters; ice machine on 4th floor which if u can only take elevator not stairs and u need your room key. Beds were great; room was good; water pressure ok. Great location to baseball stadium"

Coda on Half, a Placemakr Experience - Navy Yard

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great option when travelling with the family. I will likely stay in a Coda in the future based on my experience. There was laundry in the room, a full kitchen, etc. We were only there for a night but we could have stayed a week comfortably."

Residence Inn Arlington Capital View

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were phenomenal and the gym was excellent…someone takes time and put towels on every machine! Great breakfast options as well."

Thompson Washington D.C., by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The rooftop bar is so much fun and the bartenders have a lot to do with that. You can't really eat too much up there after 7pm, though, so plan ahead."
