Washington Plaza Hotel

This was my daughter's (11yr old) first plane trip. We stayed at the Washington Plaza and we could not ask for anything better. The location is pretty central to everything. Granted there was plenty of walking to do, but it was no problem. The hotel and staff were very nice. Our room was perfect, and we even had a balcony. The breakfast buffet could be a little cheaper ($17) a piece, but that's my only complaint. Highly recommended!!!

This hotel was clean, modern, contemporary decor. Centrally located to DC Metro a couple blocks away, Dupont Circle and had a magnificent pool.

This hotel is close to almost all of the attractions. You are within 2 miles of all of them. If you don't want to walk , take a cab. it's the easiest way to get around DC. The staff at the hotel are all very friendly. The room was big, very clean and the beds are very comfortable with great pillows. I would stay here again anytime.

I was leery of staying at the Washington Plaza Hotel: a friend had warned me of a bedbug issue the hotel had a couple years ago. That appears to have been taken care of. I was also concerned because of other reviews, in which people complained about size of the rooms and noise. The rooms are smaller than what many suburban Americans will be used to; but they are quite standard for rooms in a large urban areas, such as DC, NYC, SF, etc. The noise is a different issue: if one's room faces Thomas Circle, one will get noise--this is a big, traffic-filled, noisy city. But the AC unit and some earplugs will soon cancel that all out. I couldn't hear the people in the rooms next door, except when their baby cried in the morning. Again, I think ear plugs will take care of it. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the Dupont Circle and U Street corridor. So, it is great for things to do in the evening. It's not a far walk from the White House and the Mall either. The best thing about this hotel is the pool though. After a long, hot day, walking throughout the streets, museums, and monuments of DC, it was so nice to go and take a dip in the pool, and relax poolside. In fact, my partner and I stayed at a much pricier boutique hotel on Dupont Circle for a couple of nights and much preferred this one, even if it did lack a fitness room, because of the pool.

great location,clean,friendly helpful staff,it was an enjoyable stay.

When we arrived at the hotel at 12pm our room was ready and we were able to check in. The pool was awesome especially since it was hot & humid all weekend long. The staff were so friendly and helpful (especially Martin). We ate pool side and the food was really good. When it was time to check out we asked if we could extend our stay till 3pm since our train was later in the day and we were accommodated without an issue. If you are looking for a good value and a place that is in near all the tourist sites, I would recommend this hotel in a heartbeat. When we go back to DC this will be the only place we'll be staying at.

I stayed in DC for the first time over the weekend. It was a great value for the price I paid. The rooms were comfortable. Though they were not huge, the bathroom was a very good size in comparison to the size of the room. The downside to the bathroom was a lack of counter space. It was very nice to have a private balcony that overlooked the pool and parts of the city. The hotel also provided free water bottles and the rooms had a decent size fridge in them. Parking at the hotel was expensive, at $25 to park myself and $30 for valet parking, but it was convenient to have my car right there and safe.

Was placed, wheelchair and all, in a room that was for all intents and purposes inaccessible. If I had a larger chair, or was less adept at maneuvering the chair I would not have been able to enter the room. When I left, the valet helped everyone except me into their cars. I had $20 waiting in my pocket for anyone who would help lift my chair in, but no one showed up. Three cars with no disabled people received lots of attention. Told me a lot about the place I stayed, and it wasn't good. Bigotry in any form is ugly.

The best that can be said is that it was a good location...after that downhill. Room was just ok--bathroom was tiny...Although confirmed for a rollaway bed--they don't have any. Someone should at least be aware of that before showing it on the confirmation. That wasn't the worst part...since we were 3 adults with only 2 beds this presented a real problem. But NOBODY cared...the front desk clerks just shrugged. When we asked about another room-sorry we're booked. So for $300 a night we took turns sleeping on the floor. Needless to say...never going back again.

Nicest touch was ice-filled bucket already in room! Parking fee was $25 per night. Concierges & doormen were very congenial. 2-3 block walk to Metro.
