3-Star Hotels in Washington D.C.

After a very long 29-hour journey, the last thing a guest wants is to feel unwelcome upon arrival. Unfortunately, my experience at the front desk was disappointing. The female receptionist with curly hair appeared indifferent while checking me in. Even when speaking to me, she avoided eye contact and seemed focused on other tasks. In hospitality, the reception team creates the first impression of a hotel, and I found this behavior unprofessional and unfriendly. When I checked out, the female receptionist with straight hair was also not particularly welcoming. The only receptionist who showed some warmth and friendliness was the gentleman at the front desk. During my first night, I experienced itching and discomfort. I’m not sure whether it was related to the bedding or towels, but I requested fresh sheets and towels to be replaced. My room was also missing a refrigerator and a safety deposit box, which I would normally expect for a more comfortable stay. That said, I would like to recognize Alma, who kindly provided coffee for my room, and Maira from housekeeping, who worked incredibly hard and was always helpful. They were the highlights of my stay and deserve recognition for their excellent attitude and service. I hope management takes guest feedback seriously, as a more welcoming front desk experience would make a significant difference.

This was my first trip to Washington, DC, and I booked this hotel in advance because the location looked great and I was able to get a really good discounted price. Although the room was listed as having a queen bed, it honestly felt more like a double or full-size bed. I was also disappointed that the room didn’t have a microwave or refrigerator. However, the biggest issue was how dusty the room was. I think it was the first time in my life that I sneezed more than 50 times in a single day. It bothered me throughout the entire trip, and constantly dealing with a runny nose made me even more tired. I eventually had to go to CVS and buy allergy medicine. I chose this hotel mainly because of the price, but if I visit DC again, I would probably pay a little more and stay somewhere else. Most places are still easily connected by metro through Google Maps anyway, so getting around the city and visiting tourist attractions isn’t difficult at all. That said, the front desk staff were friendly, and the location was convenient, so I would still recommend it for solo travelers. However, if you’re traveling with two or more people, I would suggest booking a better room than the one I stayed in, even if it costs more.

The hotel rooms are spacious and offer great value for money. Each room comes with a microwave, and there's always coffee available in the lobby. The breakfast spread is excellent, and it's within walking distance of Union Station subway and major attractions.

I stayed at many hotels while traveling for a month, but this is the best for me. The facilities are clean, the breakfast is varied, and the location is good. They don't use disposable plates for breakfast, and the staff who cleans up empty dishes immediately helps clean up the table. The heating is really warm, so I slept warmly even though it was very windy that day. There was nothing in the room that wasn't there, such as a spoon, fork, pot, knife, and dishwasher. If you're traveling with a child, it would be great to stay here. The location is good, so you can walk and the subway station is close. I only have good memories of the residence. I didn't know how to use the dishwasher, so I didn't use it, but there were dishcloths, dishwashing detergent, and dishcloths in the kitchen, so I think it would be great for a long-term stay! I finished my trip with great memories of the time I spent at the residence! Thank you!

Family travel The room is big enough, sofa bed, kitchen facilities are matched, the subway station is about ten minutes walk, there is a supermarket downstairs, and there are various Chinese restaurants within a few minutes walk.

This is, without a doubt, the best hotel I've stayed at in Washington. It's very welcoming and the price is incredibly friendly. The hotel offers a gym and a pool, and the rooms are spacious and bright—just great. I made sure to clean up my room before checking out; I hope we Chinese can leave a good impression in America too!

Hotels in Washington are generally much cheaper than in New York, so I didn't have high expectations for this hotel given its great price. However, it actually exceeded them, apart from being a bit too close to the train station, which meant some noise from the trains. Everything else was really good. The room layout was very practical; it didn't feel small for a family of three. The location was also super convenient, just one metro stop from Union Station, and the metro exit is right outside. Dining was easy too, with fast food and a 7-Eleven downstairs, and several restaurants within a 10-minute walk. A taxi to DCA airport cost $20-30 and took 15 minutes if there was no traffic. Getting to all the downtown attractions was easy by metro or taxi.

The location was excellent, very close to the subway station and a supermarket. The facilities were clean, and the Hollywood star photos displayed were very tasteful – it was a wonderful hotel. I also appreciated the water refill station next to the first-floor restroom; it was a subtle but helpful amenity.

It feels like living in a fraternity house. On Friday and Saturday nights, the 5th floor rooftop has disco parties which you’ll hear the music in your room until 2am if you live on the 4th or 3th floor. The staffs were nice in trying to help when I raised issue with noise. I had noise cancelling headphones on the whole night with taking melatonin so that I can fall asleep. They also gave me a room in the basement (lower level). The music doesn’t go there but there is a lot of water noise there. They had ear plugs ready when I asked them for help so it’s not a problem that they’re willing to fix. I would recommend this place to prioritise their guests than the bar visitors. Other than noise, things were pretty good though. I guess this hotel is good for young people. Parking on the streets could be difficult though.

Excellent! This is exactly the kind of hotel I love – it really feels like a home away from home. The room is very spacious with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the two sofas are perfect for lounging. It even comes with a coffee machine and coffee beans, which I definitely took advantage of, having several cups. If you need toiletries like toothpaste or slippers, you just ask the front desk. The hotel's location is super convenient, right next to the metro station, just a short walk away. Plus, there are restaurants and supermarkets nearby.
