Hotels near Duke Ellington Residence

"Dated, but charming. No blackout curtains and you won't get much sleep. Mattresses are worn and nishaoes so expect some discomfort."

"For what you’re paying, this stay just isn’t worth it. The lobby is gorgeous, but the rooms are definitely in need of an upgrade. The amenities also felt very bare minimum especially in 2026, not having access to streaming services on the TV is honestly absurd. I really had high hopes for this hotel, but unfortunately I wouldn’t book here again."

"Well maintained old fashioned hotel with modern amenities. Staff helpful and friendly."

"Nice location, larger room was worth it, somewhat noisy HVAC, impossible to control. I did not bother to ask about it (my wife didn’t mind and I just put some ear plugs in). Comfortable bed and linens. We did not use the restaurant or bar, quite loud and noisy if you like that kind of scene. Super walkable to everything we needed in embassy row."

"While 50% of the facility is currently under renovation, the updates should be a great improvement once completed. Unfortunately, the restaurant, which is privately owned, was a major disappointment in terms of customer service. Wait times were extremely long — even for something as simple as a cup of coffee — and our takeout order was completely incorrect. To the hotel’s credit, they handled the situation very well and refunded us for all of the restaurant-related issues. The hotel itself was otherwise very good: the location was excellent, the area felt safe, and public transportation nearby was convenient and easy to use."

"The staff was awesome super friendly and all smiles. Very helpful when asking for place to go in the area for dinner. The rooms were nice and bathrooms were update probably not long ago. For the money a great hotel. It was a last minute for me to book. The White House was not but a half mile walk with a ton of restaurants close by. "
