Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay here, Staff was always friendly and helpful, I would 100% stay here again"

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were so welcoming when we arrived. Our queen room was clean and just the right size for two people. Bathroom and shower were large and included a make up mirror. The room itself had water bottles everyday along with an iron and ironing board and steamer. Housekeeping staff were friendly when we encountered them in the hallway. We had great cocktails at the bar using $15 coupons we received upon check in. My only critique would be waiting for the elevator a few times and the big heavy door when entering the hotel itself. Our view was amazing and location was the best. We always felt safe and were near transportation options including train. Thank you!!"
