Hotels near Fill Up, Buster!, Washington D.C.

Our experience at the Phoenix was wonderful. The hotel’s location was so convenient since it’s a block from Union Station and we came in on Amtrak - but also because the subway line runs from there as well. The staff could not have been nicer - always greeting us, welcoming us back when we came back in the evening, etc. And the room was clean and well taken care of every day. They also have a restaurant attached where you can get breakfast or food/drinks. We’ll definitely be staying here again on our next trip to D.C. The only negative portion of the visit really had nothing to do with the hotel but rather the people next door - the group was loud and boisterous late at night (between 1 and 2 am) and woke us up a couple of times. After two nights we reported the issue to the staff, who offered to try and move us, but since we only had one night left we decided to remain in our room. Other than that, the stay was perfect.

PROS: Stood here for the weekend with my partner. Aesthetically, the hotel is super artsy, fun, and pleasing to the eye. The decor and appearance screams chic, quirky, and metropolitan. From the lobby, adorned with all manners of interesting books, odd trinkets, and colorful sculptures, to the cute, cozy outdoor sitting space filled with pretty greenery, I could not stop raving about this hotel the entire trip. The style of the rooms could very much be described as a European “take” on the well-known Japanese “Pod” style hotels. The rooms were concise (not cramped) and had a sleek, modern, and minimalistic style of furniture (desk with chair, bench, vanity w/sink, bed-frame with built in storage space). Think “IKEA meets stylish, retro Japanese pod hotel”. If that makes sense. LOL. Plus everything in the room is controlled using an iPad which I think it pretty flipping cool. SMART TV in the room, as well, meaning unlimited access to YouTube, Netflix, or pretty much anything that can stream from your phone/device which is perfect after a long day exploring the city. (You can also change the color of the mood lighting in the room via the IPad which provided my boyfriend and I with hours of entertainment pretending we were post apocalyptic humans trapped in some green-tinted “Twilight Zone” style alien bunker) Also, if you prefer a hard mattress, you will find the hotel bed very comfortable. During our time here, we had easy access to a LOT of good food. There’s 2 restaurants inside the hotel as well as a really great Middle Eastern restaurant directly across the street. (I approve of their falafel and roasted sweet potatoes. Very good). There are so many cultural and ethnic restaurants in the immediate area for those who are adventurous eaters. There’s even a pretty nice Trader Joe’s around 4 blocks away for stocking the hotel room with healthy snacks and beverages (a must). Plus Union Market is pretty close to the hotel. I wouldn’t miss it if I were you. Big hall with lots of food vendors and even a little shopping. Even if you aren’t looking to eat and just want to kill a little time, it’s still interesting to walk around and see the cool and unique foods they sell. Soak up the little local color. Overall, it was a totally unique and memorable hotel experience that was totally worth the cost. Well done. LF

We had a wonderful experience with both Bret and Denise during our stay this weekend. They were attentive, accommodating, and ensured we had everything we needed for our weekend enjoying DC. They offered us free bikes to use for both days touring around the city and our hotel room was outstanding and private. We didn’t get the chance to dine at the restaurant, but very close was a ***** of restaurants and bars that we absolutely adored. We appreciated every second of our stay… highly recommend!

The trip was great and the stay at the hotel totally contributed to this. I would recommend the hotel and will also stay here again.

The hotel is huge and one of the more affordable one around DC. The aircon in the room is a little noisy but the operation guy came and says that’s the way it is. I asked for kettle to boil water and it came quite quickly though. There’s a usd20 surcharge per room per night but you can offset by meals in the hotel. The front desk also provides bottled water FOC upon request. Overall an ok stay.

I stayed in a shared room (females only), and this was perfect for me because I was only there for a couple nights and just needed a place to sleep since I was out all day long. The Generator checked all the boxes and I felt safe sharing my room. The red line is only minutes away and there are multiple buses that can take you wherever you need to be! Everyone was very helpful and kind.

Staffs was nice and the hotel was cozy. There was a bathtub so I could warm up my body.

I was there at the hotel, booking that day because my mother was at Walter Reed. The check-in young lady so compassionate and understanding. Truly outstanding customer service! The hotel is only a mile and a half from Walter Reed which made it extremely convenient to pull right in, and park downstairs in their garage and get out early in the morning. Will be using my Hyatt credit card more often. You definitely get more value for your points than Marriott.

Its a great place to spend your holidays with your family. The bonfire, indoor pool, accommodating staff and the room was nice. The room is big and feels your at home.

We stayed overnight and enjoyed this very recently renovated hotel. It's bright, spacious, and welcoming. The modern decor is a bit minimalist but the bed, room appointments, and bath were all first-rate. And the price is reasonable. One minus: the bathroom has a motion-activated light; if you get up during the night to use the bathroom, the light comes on with blinding blindness that is disorienting and can make it difficult to get back to sleep.
