Hotels Near Washington Canal Park in Washington D.C.

I was staying at the Holiday Inn for a business trip. Overall, it was a good stay. I had one of the higher up corner rooms which had a fantastic view up the street and to the West so I got to see the sunset (07 room). I was in an accessible room so the bathroom was quite large and had a tub. Double queen with extra chair and ottoman and a tiny narrow desk that barely fit my laptop. There was a microwave, mini-fridge, safe that fit my laptop, and a k-cup coffee maker. I did not like the wardrobe as the space for hanging was very short meaning that my dresses and long clothes got folded up at the bottom, plus it was on the lower level (for accessibility I believe). Breakfast was included and had the standard variety (eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, etc.). I tried once but on other days we had breakfast at work. There is a lot of construction going on in the neighborhood. It didn't bother me since I was up when it started (7 am) and the windows blocked enough of the noise so that it wasn't too bad. I noticed it a bit more in the afternoon when I was trying to work. The area is alright but it is fairly close to Chinatown (5-10 min walk) so I could see the need to be careful late at night if on your own. The staff was very friendly, somewhat to the point of being too friendly for New England me, but overall very nice and helpful. Everything was extremely clean and in working order - although it took me a bit to figure out the lights. Short walk to the National Gallery and Mall. About a 15-20 minute walk to Union Station.

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

A boutique hotel with a retro style, the location is very good, and it is convenient to go to the attractions~ I didn't expect the vinyl record in the room to be usable, and there is a radio station at the entrance downstairs.

You have to come to Infamy omg! it was so wonderful we had the best service ever from Donna, Luca, Iyana… we hung around for a few hours and had amazing cocktails and wonderful service, Chris the manager came over to offer us a last call at 1130 just to make sure we were happy the whole staff gives off excellent energy and really engages with us

My family and I recently stayed at the Double Tree By Hilton-Washington DC/Crystal City. I paid a Military Family Rate (listed below) for 2 nights totaling $468.79, and I was expecting for the rate to include complimentary breakfast. Upon arriving to the hotel we were not given breakfast vouchers which was disappointing as I had my family with me and I could not accommodate them with that. In addition, I was trying to get information as to why we weren’t given vouchers and I was given ridiculous information. The customer service representatives at the front desk were not helpful at all. One female lied to me about the breakfast buffet only being $10.00 a person ( I spoke to this female 04-14-23 at around 8pm). I spoke to another female who could not even point to me where it says the rate does not include breakfast (04-15-23 at 7:30am). I believed the female that told me that buffet was $10.00 a person a day prior and I went ahead and took my family to the buffet. When arriving to the buffet we found out that it wasn’t not $10.00 a person, but rather $28.00 a person! For the amount we paid for two nights I would think a breakfast vouchers would be included. I believe it was highly disrespectful, especially for it being a MILITARY FAMILY rate. This was never explained to us or listed anywhere for this rate to not include breakfast so it was in our understanding breakfast would be included. I could not find it anywhere where breakfast is not included and neither the customer service representatives could not show me where it says that. . I am not sure if we were mistreated, discriminated against, or our military service is not something that is respected around here. And it being Washington DC I would think that military services are appreciated.

I came to the Holiday Inn Express with two of my friends and the assistant manager Ibrahim was very helpful when we had some trouble checking in and he was very helpful throughout the process of helping us. Very professional and my friend and I will definitely come back to this hotel because of him.

The price of the hotel has an advantage, and it is basically clean and tidy. However, the air conditioner is too old and noisy all the time. In addition, the underground garage is being partially repaired, and the parking spaces are very limited. The parking spaces and aisles are very narrow, and the upper pipes in some places are too easy to scrape the roof. Friends who drive large cars should pay attention.

I want to state that the Sheraton Pentagon City is outstanding and very attentive to detail! The private breakfast and room were perfect and the rooms were clean and well maintained! The staff were helpful with any questions I had and ensured my stay was a success with the twenty rooms, I had booked with this Sheraton. Jada is the best in the business and the staff outstanding!! I'm in hotels a minimum of 100 nights a year and love coming back to this hotel with my groups. I would give this hotel 6 stars if possible!

This location went above and beyond to find me a room. The front desk employee (Bryan) worked every angle he could to make sure he could accommodate me. From the second I walked in, to the second I checked out, I was treated with respect. Definitely an experience that I am not use to. I can not recall his name (Bryan) and I am not sure if there is a way to find out, but the individual that checked me in was awesome. He ensured he found me a room late at night for the duration of my stay. He accommodated the fed rate for me so I didn’t have to pay out of my pocket. This gentleman is a perfect example of customer service! He greeted me the second I walked through the door and was the most professional person I have ever dealt with in the hotel and hospitality business.

Facilities: Good, big room Sanitation: OK Environment: In the city center, 10 minutes walk from the White House, not far from anywhere Service: Nothing, breakfast is the same every day, no vegetables, no free mineral water, the price is OK
