Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"Great location, room a bit old dated"

Hotel Hive

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

"Nice"

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"It’s nice to see an Historic hotel still vibrant in downtown DC. I like the feel of the place. With that said it’s missing a lot of hotel amenities I’ve gotten used to….from a refrigerator in your room, a dresser for your clothes , a bottled water or two and an ice machine in the hallway. There were a lot of conveniences missing. Then there’s $59 a day for valet parking ….unless you were fortunate enough to find a spot on the street. I would shop around a little bit and read the amenities before choosing so you’re not disappointed."

"Nice hotel. Good location for concerts at capital one arena."

The Watergate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. My only suggestion is that - sadly the pastry nook is closed. There isnt an option for a coffee bar complimentary. I had to get coffee from the restaurant for my partner when he was sick- I bought two coffees so he would not have to make a trip and it was over $20 for a couple of coffees (I got one). I was like - this is kinda silly. And parking valet is the only option if not on the street parking and that is $65 a night. So it was wonderful but - it would be great if those little things were complimentary. The food was good at the restaurant. Not great but good. The best thing besides the view from our room - was the staff is very good. Everyone is VERY good. Maybe I could say - they are great. The lady who checked us in - the cleaning team- anyone I asked for anything - the doormen (doorpeople) - the people in the restaurant and bars. Very good staff. The hotel is a little "dated" but I hope it stays kinda retro because it is a historic hotel. I just hope they somehow do something even if they have to add $20 a night to the rooms - to have the valet parking be free and give the visitors a free coffee barn downstairs. My room only had one coffee cup and no milk so making coffee in the room did not work."
