The hotel is in a really good location in the center if DC. It was very easy to get to all the tourist spots and is near a metro. The hotel staff were very lovely and personable. They learnt our names in the day we were there and happily gave us recommendations about where to eat. It’s still a Motto so you pay for what you get. It’s an ok room but it is clean and of the usual Hilton standard. However, I would happily stay there again for the price.

GGarylscI’ve left behind an important item and I’ve called up the hotel staff. A customer service officer picked up and told me that she will open a case with regard to this matter but it has been 2 days and yet I have not received any notices or replies from the hotel. It seems like everything is automated but no one respond to this matter which is unacceptable and irresponsible for a reputable hotel.

GGuest UserOur recent stay at the Residence Inn Washington, DC National Mall was fantastic for our group of 6! The One Bedroom Two Queen Suite with Sofa Bed provided plenty of space for everyone to stay comfortably. The suite was perfectly sized with two queen beds in the separate bedroom and a queen-sized sofa bed in the living area. The spacious layout allowed all six of us to move around comfortably without feeling cramped, especially with the separate living and sleeping areas. Location: 5/5 - Prime spot near the National Mall Cleanliness: 5/5 - Everything was spotless and well-maintained Service: 5/5 - Staff was accommodating Facilities: 5/5 - All amenities exceeded expectations The suite proved to be an ideal choice for our group of 6. The queen-sized beds, including the sofa bed, provided comfortable sleeping arrangements for everyone. The living area offered enough space for us to gather and socialize, making it a perfect base for our DC adventure. For anyone traveling with a group of 6, I can confidently say this suite configuration works great, offering both comfort and convenience in an excellent location.

The gym is spacious and well equipped; although some of the equipment is a bit outdated, it still works well and gets the job done. Overall, a very nice hotel and I would definitely stay here again.

AAnonymous UserThere is no signal on the TV, and the debugging can’t be abandoned. The room door needs to be closed gently by itself, otherwise it will be very loud. The quality of the toilet is average. The software facilities are a bit of a cut-off. The most important thing is that the room is full of pungent decoration smells. It is very awkward and the throat is very uncomfortable. It is recommended that the hotel remove the taste (I don't know if it is formaldehyde) The new hotel encountered an uncomfortable throat for the first time.

GGuest UserIn American hotels, guests usually need to bring their own toothpaste, toothbrushes, and combs. This hotel provides disposable paper cups, and for toiletries, they offer body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The bed is adjustable, which is great for watching TV comfortably. The location is excellent, very close to Capitol Hill and within walking distance. It's also super close to the train station. You can self-check-in and get your room key at the hotel. When you leave, you can also self-checkout, which is very convenient.

It was relatively quiet during bedtime, and they even let me leave my luggage before check-in, which was nice. The location is also close to the subway station, and there are plenty of good cafes and restaurants within walking distance.
