The Eldon Luxury Suites
Washington Plaza Hotel
The staff was awesome super friendly and all smiles. Very helpful when asking for place to go in the area for dinner. The rooms were nice and bathrooms were update probably not long ago. For the money a great hotel. It was a last minute for me to book. The White House was not but a half mile walk ...

Great hotel in a great location. Walkable to many attractions, restaurants and nightlife. Nice onsite restaurant/bar. Valet parking was convenient but a bit pricey ($70/night).

Arlo Washington DC
As someone who is super picky about cleanliness this place was top-notch especially the restroom. I love the shower. Also the staff was super helpful and attentive. Haven’t had a chance to visit the bar, but I’m sure it was super cute. Arlo‘s are my place to stay wherever I go.
