Overall a nice stay, however many surfaces in the room were a bit dirty and had smear marks like they hadn’t been properly cleaned and the key cards we were given had multiple stains/smears too so that was a little gross. Other than that it was perfect for our short stay, great location and friendly staff.

Small but just right

I knew from reading reviews that the rooms were pretty small, but they are efficient and very well-designed for comfort and functionality. I was in DC for a conference and basically just slept and showered in my room, so for that, it was very comfortable, with fully functional and easy to use temperature control, a very comfortable bed, sufficient storage space for clothes, and an efficient bathroom with shower.

Perfect

We chose Motto for it's proximity to the Rock n Roll Series Half Marathon. It was just perfect for what we needed. The staff was super helpful and professional. They let us check in a bit early and also extended our stay for us to be able to come back after the race and freshen up.

This is not a reflection on the hotel itself but the area surrounding the hotel is a little sketchy. great if you are not traveling alone but a little scary when you are as there are a lot of beggars.

It is close to many great restaurants and the Metro. There was a disturbance at 3am that could have been handled better and kept us up for an hour. The room was very small...I almost had to leave the room to put my backpack on.
