Pros:

Unfortunately I had a cockroach on my pillow the first night, and the air conditioning being right next to your head at night is far from ideal. There's probably better places to stay in the area.

Pros:

Satisfactory!
Room: Pros - it was clean, but the bedding was very clean. Cons - the AC turned on and off and made loud sound that was not comfortable during sleeping.
Bathroom: Pros - pristine clean, very laundered clean towels. Cons - facial soap was provided but no bodywash. I asked a staff member, but she checked and said that's all that they have got.
Reception: No welcoming exchange of pleasantry from the staff appearing as lackluster.

Pros:

I would have given 5's across the board because it was clean, centrally located, loved the sheets and bathroom but the one issue we had was with one of our beds...the matress was completely sunken in, in the middle, it was awful, we told the front desk and they said they could switch us rooms but the one they wanted to switch us to was smaller and the beds were placed very weirdly. They need to replace that matress.

Pros:

AC was directly above my head on the bed, could not keep it on. My door had a horizontal crack, almost the entire length of the door, so much so, that the light from the corridor shone through it; only about a foot, in the middle was not cracked otherwise too and bottom cracked right through.
The only way to access foyer from the street was a series of steps so very difficult for luggage.
Room was very small, bathroom was extremely small.
No coffee/tea or small fridge facilities in the room.
It was clean.
I would not book there again.

Pros:

My stay was short, only two nights and my budget was fairly tight. District Hotel met my needs. I’ve stayed in fancier hotels, I’ll admit that, but my job wasn’t paying for the trip this time. The hotel was clean, quiet and efficient with a friendly staff. The surroundings, where I spent my waking time and money, full of choices and convenience. A great base with which to enjoy DC.

Pros:

This hotel is clean but has a lingering smell of cigarettes. It’s fine for a short trip, but I wouldn’t recommend it for more than a day or two. I didn’t feel super welcome or comfortable.

Pros:

Minimalist room which was nice. Proximity to attractions was great. I was comfortable during my stay. I think they could maximize space by omitting the nightstand lamp. It worked for my solo trip.

Pros:

The front desk's guidance regarding street parking resulted in $200.00 in parking and towing fees.
Given the circumstances of rush hour and no-parking restrictions, who will be responsible for these incurred costs?
It is imperative that I receive accurate information regarding parking regulations to avoid future incidents.
