This is hands down the best value hotel in the Washington D.C. area. The location is incredibly convenient. It's super close to all the museums, the White House, the Monument, the Capitol Building, and even the NBA arena. We saved a ton on taxi fares, which is great because taxis in the US are both expensive and not always safe.

The hotel is quite new and features smart controls throughout, operated by an iPad, which is perfect for solo travelers. It's less than a ten-minute walk to both the Aerospace Museum and the National Gallery, and the subway station isn't far either. On my last day, I used their luggage storage service, which was really convenient. The only thing I found a bit unusual was that they don't provide bottled water; you have to go down to the bar on the first floor to get water yourself.

Fortunately, there is free hot water and coffee in the lobby. The transportation is convenient. There is a bus at the door. The house price is naturally not cheap.

The room was definitely very small, but beautifully designed. If you book for a weekend, be mindful that it gets very noisy outside, continuing late into the night. While the hotel advertises dry cleaning services, they actually don't have an on-site dry cleaning facility.

The Washington Hotel is in a very good location, just across the street from the White House. It is very convenient to walk to the White House. The hotel is relatively clean, but the room is a little small

VVIVI-Priscilla2025.08.27
The room was beautiful and much larger than I expected. It was a suite, featuring a living room, a bar area, a dining table, and a separate bedroom, making for a fantastic overall environment. Breakfast was a standard American spread, which was decent, including items like omelets, fruit, cereal, bread, milk, coffee, and juice. Occasionally, there were homeless individuals near the hotel's main entrance. The staff, including front desk personnel and bellhops, were professional but not overly warm or enthusiastic; they were perfectly adequate and caused no issues. The deposit was promptly refunded upon check-out. The hotel's location is excellent: it's next to a Microsoft office, with upscale brand stores like Tiffany nearby, and a pharmacy just around the corner. The White House is also easily accessible on foot. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

AAfangbuzishang- Great location, close to all the important sights.
- The service was warm and responsive; they promptly addressed any issues we raised.
- The room's decor and facilities were decent, and there were no strange odors.
- The only drawback was that the hot water at the sink in our room wasn't working.
GGarylscI’ve left behind an important item and I’ve called up the hotel staff. A customer service officer picked up and told me that she will open a case with regard to this matter but it has been 2 days and yet I have not received any notices or replies from the hotel. It seems like everything is automated but no one respond to this matter which is unacceptable and irresponsible for a reputable hotel.
GGuest UserThe location is close to the White House and next to George Washington University. The white building is beautiful, the service is good, the mattress and pillows are very comfortable, I will stay here again next time!!
GGuest UserOur recent stay at the Residence Inn Washington, DC National Mall was fantastic for our group of 6! The One Bedroom Two Queen Suite with Sofa Bed provided plenty of space for everyone to stay comfortably. The suite was perfectly sized with two queen beds in the separate bedroom and a queen-sized sofa bed in the living area. The spacious layout allowed all six of us to move around comfortably without feeling cramped, especially with the separate living and sleeping areas.
Location: 5/5 - Prime spot near the National Mall
Cleanliness: 5/5 - Everything was spotless and well-maintained
Service: 5/5 - Staff was accommodating
Facilities: 5/5 - All amenities exceeded expectations
The suite proved to be an ideal choice for our group of 6. The queen-sized beds, including the sofa bed, provided comfortable sleeping arrangements for everyone. The living area offered enough space for us to gather and socialize, making it a perfect base for our DC adventure. For anyone traveling with a group of 6, I can confidently say this suite configuration works great, offering both comfort and convenience in an excellent location.
GGuest UserI had a very pleasant stay at the Hilton Washington. The bed is very comfortable with high-quality bedding, which made for a great night’s sleep. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The gym is spacious and well equipped; although some of the equipment is a bit outdated, it still works well and gets the job done. Overall, a very nice hotel and I would definitely stay here again.
GGuest UserThe decoration looks like an old-fashioned hotel, so the facilities are a little bit worse. But the room is big enough, the health is good, there is a coffee machine, and the customer service staff are also very polite.
It takes about ten minutes to get to the station.
TTrip saverThey provided us with a handicap room without informing us upon checking in. As the rooms had all the required facilities like hand rails etc. the mattress is also sinking especially on the left side not the Marriott standard. We had prepaid the room for 4 pax but only provide 3 pax bath towels, request the 4th pax bath towel after checking in, need to request again after we came back late night for the shower. The location is nearby the metro station.
GGuest UserAbsolutely loved staying at the Churchill Hotel! It is in a beautiful neighborhood. Close to DuPont Circle and the Metro. Very safe neighborhood. There is a separate area in the room with a desk. Actually, large enough to use as a dressing room! We will definitely be going back and staying at the Churchill.
GGuest UserIn American hotels, guests usually need to bring their own toothpaste, toothbrushes, and combs. This hotel provides disposable paper cups, and for toiletries, they offer body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.
The bed is adjustable, which is great for watching TV comfortably. The location is excellent, very close to Capitol Hill and within walking distance. It's also super close to the train station.
You can self-check-in and get your room key at the hotel. When you leave, you can also self-checkout, which is very convenient.
GGuest User가성비 좋은 호텔입니다. 공간이 넓어서 답답하지 않고 작은 부엌이 있어서 외부 음식 사다 먹기도 편리했어요. 취침 시간에 조용한 편이었구요. 체크인 전 짐도 맡겨 주셔서 좋았습니다. 위치도 지하철 역 가까이이고 걸어갈 만한 거리에 괜찮은 카페, 식당도 많이 있었어요.
