Hotels near NFI in Washington D.C.

The location of the hotel is good, and the facilities are relatively new. However, an Indian waitress at the front desk had a bad attitude and gave us a room opposite the elevator on the first floor. As a result, the room was very poorly soundproofed. She talked loudly when cleaning at 6 o'clock in the morning, and the floor fell off. The sound of each thing can be heard clearly, plus the noise of people taking the elevator early in the morning, it is really too noisy. Before going out at noon, I found the front desk and said that I wanted to change the room. At first, I said no, and then I was given a room on the second floor. The next day, I found that it was directly above the garbage room. The garbage was loaded and unloaded in the morning, and the air conditioner in the room was sounding like a tractor. Fortunately, it was not turned on when it was not hot at night. I was too lazy to negotiate with the front desk. I seriously suspected that it was targeting Chinese people!

What an absolutely amazing stay in the nations capital. My room was incredibly clean and it was even quiet, considering that there was a rooftop bar with live music. I slept well. And, I’m really grateful that they are in such close proximity to a Walgreens, which is right on the corner. I travel often and often forget a thing or two or just need simple things like bottles of water (I drink half a gallon to a gallon per day). But I want to give a big huge shout out to the staff particularly Jessica, Michael and Chris. I was traveling with someone with dementia. We were in town for the Alzheimer’s Association ball. And, they truly treated my travel companion with kid gloves! The staff were considerate to her needs and patient with her every step of the way. I even accidentally left my jacket in the hotel room trying to take care of my friend and Jessica call me later on that day to let me know that she found it and that she would personally ship it out. This jacket is very personal and special to me and has quite a bit of sentimental value so I’m so incredibly grateful that I didn’t lose it and that it’s on the way back to me. This was a great stay, a great hotel! You feel safe in a big city and the café downstairs has some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life!

Our experience at the Phoenix was wonderful. The hotel’s location was so convenient since it’s a block from Union Station and we came in on Amtrak - but also because the subway line runs from there as well. The staff could not have been nicer - always greeting us, welcoming us back when we came back in the evening, etc. And the room was clean and well taken care of every day. They also have a restaurant attached where you can get breakfast or food/drinks. We’ll definitely be staying here again on our next trip to D.C. The only negative portion of the visit really had nothing to do with the hotel but rather the people next door - the group was loud and boisterous late at night (between 1 and 2 am) and woke us up a couple of times. After two nights we reported the issue to the staff, who offered to try and move us, but since we only had one night left we decided to remain in our room. Other than that, the stay was perfect.

I stayed in a shared room (females only), and this was perfect for me because I was only there for a couple nights and just needed a place to sleep since I was out all day long. The Generator checked all the boxes and I felt safe sharing my room. The red line is only minutes away and there are multiple buses that can take you wherever you need to be! Everyone was very helpful and kind.

The restaurant at the Washington Plaza hotel is delicious, affordable & beautiful. But the cherry on top is the amazing service. I rarely love hotel dining but this is a treat. And, the apple martinis Sharda made were to die for! I told her it reminded me why I stopped drinking them - they’re strong & it’s hard to have just one.

I got a room with the harbor view, it was so beautiful. I watched the sunset through my hotel window. And it’s a walking distance to the barbor and restaurants. Staff were hospitable and nice. The only thing is they don’t have free parking nor they cover the parking fees, unlike other hotels. This is first time experiencing having to pay for my own. I had to pay $24 for a day parking.

Our first time at this property and we chose it because of the location to the metro on the red line. It is right out the back door across the street. Extremely convenient! We were visiting DC for the weekend. The property was nice, the room was room was comfortable, the service was excellent, the underground parking, while there is an additional fee, is secure and convenient and the checkin/checkout process was flawless. If you want a completely digital experience this is it. The staff checked in via text a few times but were not intrusive. We requested extra towels and received them promptly. While we didn’t visit them, there is an on-site restaurant/bar and a coffee shop available. We have stayed at other properties in the area. I am glad we chose to disregard any disgruntled negative reviews. This will be our property of choice when we visit the city.

The price is cheap, the free breakfast is good, the room is clean and suitable for parents and children, and there are shopping centers such as TJMAXX in a few minutes. The parking fee is 14 knives.

PROS: Stood here for the weekend with my partner. Aesthetically, the hotel is super artsy, fun, and pleasing to the eye. The decor and appearance screams chic, quirky, and metropolitan. From the lobby, adorned with all manners of interesting books, odd trinkets, and colorful sculptures, to the cute, cozy outdoor sitting space filled with pretty greenery, I could not stop raving about this hotel the entire trip. The style of the rooms could very much be described as a European “take” on the well-known Japanese “Pod” style hotels. The rooms were concise (not cramped) and had a sleek, modern, and minimalistic style of furniture (desk with chair, bench, vanity w/sink, bed-frame with built in storage space). Think “IKEA meets stylish, retro Japanese pod hotel”. If that makes sense. LOL. Plus everything in the room is controlled using an iPad which I think it pretty flipping cool. SMART TV in the room, as well, meaning unlimited access to YouTube, Netflix, or pretty much anything that can stream from your phone/device which is perfect after a long day exploring the city. (You can also change the color of the mood lighting in the room via the IPad which provided my boyfriend and I with hours of entertainment pretending we were post apocalyptic humans trapped in some green-tinted “Twilight Zone” style alien bunker) Also, if you prefer a hard mattress, you will find the hotel bed very comfortable. During our time here, we had easy access to a LOT of good food. There’s 2 restaurants inside the hotel as well as a really great Middle Eastern restaurant directly across the street. (I approve of their falafel and roasted sweet potatoes. Very good). There are so many cultural and ethnic restaurants in the immediate area for those who are adventurous eaters. There’s even a pretty nice Trader Joe’s around 4 blocks away for stocking the hotel room with healthy snacks and beverages (a must). Plus Union Market is pretty close to the hotel. I wouldn’t miss it if I were you. Big hall with lots of food vendors and even a little shopping. Even if you aren’t looking to eat and just want to kill a little time, it’s still interesting to walk around and see the cool and unique foods they sell. Soak up the little local color. Overall, it was a totally unique and memorable hotel experience that was totally worth the cost. Well done. LF

The hotel is huge and one of the more affordable one around DC. The aircon in the room is a little noisy but the operation guy came and says that’s the way it is. I asked for kettle to boil water and it came quite quickly though. There’s a usd20 surcharge per room per night but you can offset by meals in the hotel. The front desk also provides bottled water FOC upon request. Overall an ok stay.
