Moxy Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"Moxy provides small basic rooms which are not for everyone, but they were ok for a short stay. We were initially in Room 810 which felt too small, and 2 of the 3 lights in the bedroom weren’t working. We were switched to 808, which was better."

Lyle Washington D.C.

8/10 Good

"the valet, door and desk attendants, and the housekeeping staff are all so incredibly kind!! the hotel itself is very beautiful and well kept. the bathroom was overall clean, however i couldn’t help but notice yellow buildup in some harder to reach places on the shower floor. the breakfast food and drinks are very good, however the wait staff isn’t the kindest. there was a private event happening in the hotel during our stay, so some of the amenities that were advertised by email after booking weren’t available (restaurant closed off for dinner, asked to leave the gym area to make room for a private fitness class, etc). all that said, the location is unbeatable and the vibe was great!"

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Front desk check in process is tedious. I was required to use a tablet at the checkin desk to type in my personal information which they should already have on file. So it seems redundant to me and it required me to have free hands to do. Front desk was friendly but was unsure what time pool could be accessed and what time restaurant was open. Room was clean. I had two queen beds. The room is narrow and this made it hard for me and my guest to get out of each others way as well as find places for our luggage. We made it up to the pool area one evening which is next to the rooftop bar/lounge. People can bring food and drinks into the pool area and every lounge chair had dirty leftovers next to or on them (half eaten raw oysters/shells left in the sun). A used napkin had flown into the pool. If you are looking for quiet time by the pool i dont suggest going in evening when bar is busy- music can be loud. The rooftop bar, however, is a delight. Good service. Great views. Drinks are fun. Downstairs restaurant is worth trying for breakfast. Great service and food was great portion and delcious."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing property. One of the best embassy suites. Location was great and you can tell hotel is very well managed. They also put a lot of effort into the breakfast and evening hour. I will definitely stay here again if i come to DC."
