We were on the 11th floor which did not appear outdated. The room was large and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The front desk was helpful and friendly. The bathroom was acceptable. Really, the best part of staying here is the convenience to the Metro (below the hotel) and the food court. The downside, It was noisy due to... More

Good Motel close to the Smithsonian museums and a short walk to Washington Mall. Rooms are a little date but after a long flight it was a nice bed. I did arrive late and the staff were accommodating for a quick meal and a beer!

My friend had booked this hotel and after reading review on it I was very nervous to stay here. The lobby is very well maintained. We were slightly early to check in and when asked if we could check in the employee behind the desk said "well I dont know, do you have a reservation?" We were actually asking if... More

I'm confused how this hotel can be rated so high. Not only does the hotel feel and look dated, L'Enfant Plaza in general isn't worth the time or effort to visit. While they are doing major revisions, it will need more than what is being done. The room service food isn't very good at all. I'm 6'4" and had to... More

We had a screaming rate ($110) a night through Book It and booked 7 nights at this hotel. The weekends were priced more than $200 a night. We had a deluxe double bed room with a view of the Potomac on one of the higher floors. The view was good, the room clean and comfortable. It didn't have the contemporary... More

I expected something much nicer for $269 a night. The room felt like a motel... tub separating from the wall, showerhead loosely connected to the wall, had to call maintenance at 11:30pm because the sink stopper was stuck in the down position making the sink unuseable. Since he was there, asked him to check my running toilet. Neither of the... More

Close proximity to the Mall made it easy to visit one museum in the morning then return to the food court (unfortunately it's closed on weekends) beneath the hotel and return to our room for a rest before walking back out to see another attraction. We did the same thing in late afternoon before venturing out for dinner. The subway... More

Great location-2 blocks from Mall, 10-15 min to Capital. Blue/yellow line metro station underneath hotel along with a food court (open during the week for business people primarily although a Starbucks was open on the weekend). Those lines go to DCA airport(20 min. on yellow line, 10 min by cab). FYI-----stayed there last week. Unfortunately there is a renovation project... More

This very outdated hotel needs an overhaul in the worst way. Floors, walls, toilets, bath sinks and lights. Lamps, phones, televisions, smelly 'clean' towels....everything in the rooms. Ice and vending machines leave a lot to be desired. This hotel does not offer free breakfast. Elevators are a pain to work. Now the good. Centrally located, attentive staff, lots of choices... More
