Room is outdated but sparkling clean. The other reviews mention how the paint or wallpaper are peeling and I did see that in my room but it wasn't really noticeable. The AC worked well and fast on hot days. My room was in front of the pool. I was never bothered by anyone outside using it. Never heard people at... More

They gave our reserved room away so we had no place to stay when we arrived at 9 pm on May 9, 2012 for a 3-day stay in Washington DC! We were shocked! We made our reservation on southwest.com and no first night payment was required in advance. And nothing was said about a late arrival which we didn't consider... More

My family and I traveled from Savannah, Ga for my nephew's graduation and were supposed to have stayed at The Channel Inn for a week. I have never experience such arrogance and prejudice that the owner displayed in my life. It appears that most of the workers are "greencarded" imigrants, that's being treated very subparly. They have a breakfast bar... More

yes sister, this is a great place, many of the staff have been working here for 20, 30, 40 years. the staff is very attentive yet low key. if you are a stuffed shirt this is not the place for you. ask for a water view, and you will look out onto the marina. the pool is nice after a... More

On the plus side: the Mall was close and the metro/bus were easily accessible. The view on the Potomac river from the room was nice and the staff was friendly. On the down side: The bedding was rock hard, there were ants in the room, the cleaning was only done if we asked for it, and the planes landing/taking off... More

The Channel Inn is old but well maintained. Room was clean and AC worked well. Shower was strong and plenty of hot water. Reception was quick and friendly. TV was old, but didn't use it. Free Parking was an absolute plus. Food, as mot hotels in DC, was expensive. Coffee not too good. Will definitely stay again.

It might take you 15-20min. so it is not long especially when you are on holidays. Room was spacious with a big bathroom, two sinks (very helpful for... More
