Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. Fantastic location with super friendly staff. Our room was clean and made up for us each day of the stay. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Some mentioned that this property was a little dated but we found it to be lovely and it is DC!"
