Hotels Near D.C. Alley Museum in Washington D.C.

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.

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

This was an overall great stay. I was in town for business meetings and would recommend this hotel for SURE for a short stay. The rooms are predictable (if you have ever stayed at CitizenM anywhere else, then you know exactly what to expect) and comfortable. The wifi is good, the A/C is great, the shower and soap are great. Overall fantastic experience.

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.

We were welcomed by a friendly Front Desk Receptionist. There is no valet as described but it’s self park for $30 a day. No mobile key available at this hotel. No key drop box availble for those who checked out in the app. The hallway was as hot as being outside. Our room was clean buy AC was not consistent in keeping the room cool. Phone in the room was defective. Front Desk could barely hear you. We had to request additional bathroom stuff using the app. I requested for facial tissue since the one left there had a single tissue in it but we never got it. Complimentary breakfast is freshly made and the dining staff was accommodating. Check out was easy thru the app. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Affordable hotel if you’re in DC and don’t want to be at the Capitol area.

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.

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

I looked at all the BWI airport hotels carefully before booking, and decided that the Westin was probably the best. Now having stayed there I'm pretty sure I was right. The place is clean and modern, with a spacious lobby and updated design in the rooms. The blackout curtains are some of the best I've ever seen: I woke up at 8:30am convinced it was still the middle of the night. The bathroom has a great shower, was clean and fully stocked with towels. Really everything I could have asked for.
