Clean place, affordable in a safe neighborhood with a free parking spot (fit an SUV) Toaster, coffee machine and hairdryer available. Bed was comfortable. Closed to some major places to visit (30min) I recommend for a one or 2 nights stay! Host was super responsive and welcoming!

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf

Hotel in Southwest, Washington

This hotel is located in The Wharf, part of a mile long stretch of DC's Potomac River featuring restaurants, shops and recreational space.

It’s right at the Wharf where you can go for nice walks by the river and also find many good restaurants. The area is full of buzz from the evening! There’s a free shuttle bus that takes you into the downtown area but you could actually also walk by the waterway…it’s walkable to the Lincoln Memorial, the National Mall, White House etc. The lifts are activated by key card and you select your floor from outside the lift. Lifts are big and fast! Love that! Love it that they have water, cucumber water and watermelon water at the lobby 24 hours. The hotel also has an open outside area on the lobby floor where you could sit and chill and look out to the river.

We stayed at the hotel during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and it was a wonderful experience! The location was absolutely amazing right in the heart of everything. The city was beautiful, and the weather was perfect for exploring so we walked to most of the monuments and attractions. Plus, being in Chinatown meant there were amazing food spots everywhere, just steps away from the hotel. The hotel itself was great clean, comfortable, and modern , the room was a bit small but it was expected and the bathroom had everything that you can possibly need. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We arrived VERY late and had called ahead to let them know. They made a note of our late arrival, and everything was ready for us when we checked in. Overall, the combination of the central location, excellent service, and the atmosphere during the holidays made it a memorable stay. Highly recommend!

This place is exactly what you would expect from the title, a cheap place to stay in a good location. If you're not really fussed with comfort or luxury, and just want an affordable place (which is exactly what I wanted) close to everything you want to see in Washington, but having a private room rather than sharing in a dorm, this place is perfect. It's old and quite run down, but the room was clean, which is the important thing.

The hosts were very friendly and the room was very clean! The location was ideal and I love the colors in the rooms and how many amenities there were - if we were staying longer, we definitely would have tried more. Very close to food places and a pretty quick walk to the monuments. Would stay again!
