Hotels near Southeast Neighborhood Library, Washington D.C.

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

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 spouse and I have been staying at the DC Capitol Hill for 10 years for work and pleasure because it's centrally located, friendly staff, and the rooms are spacious. And because Teresa at the front desk always goes out of her way to greet us, and chat. It's always a pleasure seeing her, and her beautiful smile. We stayed there recently for one night on August 17th, before driving to Southern MD to attend a family wedding on August 20th, 2022. The next morning Teresa greeted us in the lobby as we were headed to the restaurant for breakfast. We talked about one another's family and life. At checkout that morning we mentioned to her that we were returning on August 22, 2022, for one additional night before returning to Seattle, and could she block us a nice room. She asked us to call prior to returning to the hotel and she'd check availability. While driving back to DC. from Southern MD, I called the hotel and spoke with Darius Foster. During our conversation he informed me that Teresa was off today, and that he'd remembered us, and that he would block a nice room for us. When we arrived at the front desk Darius was very friendly, and he delivered on his promise. We travel a lot and we always stay at hotels where we feel appreciated, and valued as a customer. Thank you Teresa and Darius for always making us feel special when we stay at your hotel. We'll be back and we look forward to seeing you both.

I stayed at this brand new hotel at the University of Maryland and had a wonderful time. It is conveniently located to visit the university, but it is also very simple to go to DC using the Metro, which I did. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet. The WiFi is strong enough for video calls and work. The staff was very kind, including the cleaning staff.

My husband and I arranged for a room block for many of our guests to stay at this hotel for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding and during the wedding weekend, the staff were very communicative and hospitable - helping us keep track of which guests were staying there, the distribution of welcome bags, and coordinating transportation to and from our wedding. Our guests had a great stay at the hotel and really appreciated the reasonable price and proximity to many restaurants and shops in Bethesda.

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.

Beautiful and very comfortable and clean. I stayed 5 nights and would have liked my room to been cleaned at the half way point to get a refresh on coffees and clean sheets but was still very nice. A spa would be a awesome addition to your hotel. Continetal breakfast was simple and all that you need egg muffins were out one day so all there was was the cold stuff or bagels and toast. But all in all very lovely hotel.

The location of the hotel is good, and the facilities are relatively new. However, an Indian waitress at the front desk had a bad attitude and gave us a room opposite the elevator on the first floor. As a result, the room was very poorly soundproofed. She talked loudly when cleaning at 6 o'clock in the morning, and the floor fell off. The sound of each thing can be heard clearly, plus the noise of people taking the elevator early in the morning, it is really too noisy. Before going out at noon, I found the front desk and said that I wanted to change the room. At first, I said no, and then I was given a room on the second floor. The next day, I found that it was directly above the garbage room. The garbage was loaded and unloaded in the morning, and the air conditioner in the room was sounding like a tractor. Fortunately, it was not turned on when it was not hot at night. I was too lazy to negotiate with the front desk. I seriously suspected that it was targeting Chinese people!

I recently hosted a conference and board meeting at the Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel. I stayed twice- once in September to do a site visit and had a particularly friendly welcome from Gelila who helped me out multiple times and made me feel welcome and cared for. She really made my experience memorable. Working with Jada and Megan to book the event was really easy, friendly and efficient. When I came back to host my event I was really welcomed by the staff. Kendra always made sure I had what I needed to make sure my event ran smoothly and kept track of many different needs our group had. She was very responsive and helpful. Negasi, Rosario, Helen and Amir took care of us with our catering and were such authentic and caring people. They all made us feel like family. Negasi particularly noticed what we needed and made strides to change the plan to accommodate for our particular event. He is a wonderful person. Other front desk helpers, like Taylor, also really enhanced the experience. Everybody really actedl like a human being and I really appreciate it. I am so grateful each time I went down and saw Gelila at the desk because I felt like I could count on her generosity and friendly warmth! Thank you all for the care and consideration during our event! Next time will definitely book here.

Our first time at this property and we chose it because of the location to the metro on the red line. It is right out the back door across the street. Extremely convenient! We were visiting DC for the weekend. The property was nice, the room was room was comfortable, the service was excellent, the underground parking, while there is an additional fee, is secure and convenient and the checkin/checkout process was flawless. If you want a completely digital experience this is it. The staff checked in via text a few times but were not intrusive. We requested extra towels and received them promptly. While we didn’t visit them, there is an on-site restaurant/bar and a coffee shop available. We have stayed at other properties in the area. I am glad we chose to disregard any disgruntled negative reviews. This will be our property of choice when we visit the city.
