citizenM Washington DC Capitol

2/10 Terrible

"Room super small, no parking, tivi not working, staff don’t like to help"

Hampton Inn & Suites Washington DC-Navy Yard

6/10 Okay

"I specifically picked the hotel because I was a solo traveler driving and needed the valet parking. When I arrived at 4pm I was told NO Valet service and spots were all full. I even called ahead to "plan" for parking. So I had to find parking for 60.00 for a few hours then go get the car at 10pm and bring back to the hotel for them to park because where I found for temporary would not allow overnight. So I paid 135.00 to park overnight! Being a solo female driver who came to town to help a child move into a new apartment..this was not good. The hotel also LOST power for 2 hours 7-9am ( no generators for rooms?) that's a FIRST. The staff was kind, just wish parking was available FOR GUESTS as stated and assured by phone!"

InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, spacious, super clean hotel on the Wharf—which is a great place to stay because so much is walkable (even Audi Field)! Room service closes at 9:45pm ET so be warned about that, and the pool doesnt have bar/food service that we saw. The pool also only has about 6-10 chairs so a bit competitive but soooo relaxing and clean!"

Cambria Hotel Washington D.C. Navy Yard Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying at the cambria hotel…the staff was very nice, polite and professional. The entire room was very clean and very comfortable bed. I wanted to check out the roof top but it was closed the two night I was there. We will definitely come back and stay a little longer. Also thanks to the valet guy (sorry forgot his name) when we first check in he gave us locations and restaurants to check out during our stay."
