Washington Hotels near Ford's Theater

Great bed, nice, modern room. Amazing location.

Our room had a view of a brick wall, very disappointing. The room service was very poor and very expensive. Travel channel fans, don't come here expecting an amazing sandwich, it is no longer available.

Great location also amazing views ,fun staff and lobby had nice vibe turns into social setting with a DJ

When I arrived was able to get a room right away as requested but it didn't have a view . And had ask the guy that was checking me in if I had a view he says yes I do , I walk in to my room it was a room facing the inside I of the building no view very disappointing so went back down and young lady was able to get us a much nicer room very happy . During the evening they have DJ in the lobby so when out all day and came back you requested your room key in order to get in the hotel not happy about that

Very clean, quiet and accommodating.

Nice lobby, courteous staff, comfortable bed.

Tiny gym, mold in the bathroom grout, room amenities were average, surprising amount of wear and tear in our room for a hotel in this category.

Location Maids

Front desk staff on more than one occasion Very small rooms

I came down to ride my bike to all the museums and monuments. When I presented my claim ticket for my bike to the bellman my bike had been stolen. I spent 4 hours in the lobby filling out a police report

Location was great. Wonderful room. Two good restaurants with great staff but a bit expensive. All staff members were great! Fitness room was available even in this boutique setting. My son lost his stuffed animal while we were there and they left a new one in the room for him - it made him very happy (they later found his but let him keep the new one, "Freddie".

Restaurant was too expensive, especially for breakfast. Fitness room was a bit small.

Everything about the hotel was fantastic, the staff were very courteous and helpful and all made a point of knowing my 7 year old son's name.

Not applicable.

location of the hotel on center of the capital.

in the 9th floor on my suite there was very noise left , which have a big sound when arrive to the floor, so he wakeup me of my sleep, many times on every day of my 12th night.

I liked the comfort and facilities particularly. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment and we were a group of 3 adults. The space was large and comfortable. The heating system was easy to manage and the kitchen area was better stocked with utensils/equipment than the place we stayed in NYC. I was particularly pleased to have a washing machine and dryer in the apartment. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with information. The location was also excellent - just a short walk from the White House and it was an easy walk to most museums etc.

Our criticisms of AKA are minor. A "light breakfast" is available Monday to Friday. This is tailored to the American market. We would have found it more usuable if more cereal options and toast were provided.

very comfortable bed and room

Most of the staff was excellent but one person was not friendly and didn't make effort to upgrade the room since the door of the room they gave me was broken. A second person immediately changed the room for the better.

I liked everything. The room was modern, well appointed, with a comfortable bed, and spacious bath. The staff was as pleasant and helpful as any I have encountered in some time. The location is great! I ate in the restaurant once and I enjoyed my meal. I look forward to my next visit.

The closet space in the room I had was limited and would probably be tight for two people. This is a very small fault in an otherwise very pleasant stay.

Location was great.

Stayed for 5 days and requested an additional day (midweek) and was told rate would over double what I had paid since I booked with a "third party". Spoke with manager in the morning and was told she'd call room in 15 minutes. After an hour and a half waiting with no contact we packed and left. Happily stayed at a Kimpton 4 star hotel in Alexandria that was less money and awesome. Left with a really bad taste in my mouth for Hampton Inns.

Staff and free snacks were great.

Nothing

The location 24 hr coffee station clean rooms

Small room configured & supplied for the single business traveler. One bath towel 4 the family.

The location was great! The hotel is only a few blocks from the White House and National Mall.

The valet parking was $36 per day and I don't believe there were any self parking options available other than on the street. Street parking must be paid until 10:00 on Saturday night and is free on Sunday.

Very clean, room was nice. Staff was great. Pool not great, but we were sightseeing, so not a big deal.

Room was clean and pretty nice. Nice hotel bar and staff was friendly and helpful at the front desk. Would stay again for the price.

The bellhop shattered a bottle of vodka that was in my suitcase....said "I should have told them it was fragil" I don't think that gives them the right to just throw my stuff around as if there was nothing of worth in there....what if it was a bottle of cologne that broke - would I have had to tell them it was fragile for something as small as that. After all my stuff was covered in vodka, they let me use their laundry services and actually ended up replacing the bottle with something of similar value. It ended up being okay and I was thankful for the replacement.

Staff very friendly. Rooms were clean including the bathroom. The location is perfect if you want to walk around. We had an awesome experience.

Service was excellent

They changed me an extra 200 dollars when I checked into the hotel, despite prepaying on Kayak

Very accomodating

Super clean, well laid out room. Quite big for an urban hotel. Everything works well. Well thought out.

Reservation was not honored!

We basically got two rooms for the price of one. A room with two singles for the kids and the other with a king. The price was half of the other hotels in the area and was close to everything.

The rooms were dated and while I wouldn't say the were dirty they were rough around the edges. The beds were old school and not the most comfortable.

It was very well positioned in downtown DC.

It was very old which was kinda cool but take your allergy meds it was very dusty. I think it may have been haunted too... Lol

Cheap.

No real benefits as a Marriott Rewards Platinum member. Nothing special about the facility. Lots of noise in the hallways at night.

Location was great, staff was great

Excellent location for much of downtown DC.

Around Midnight my room filled with old cigarette smoke as someone began smoking in the stairwell. The air quality overall in my particular room was poor, requiring the windows to be opened as much as possible. This of course made it difficult to sleep as the city sounds in DC near The White House are loud and replete with sirens 24/seven. Normally, one might cover one's ears to have silence. However, at this hotel the pillows are the size for small children.

The location and comfort here is great! Overall very good value!!

The room was a little tight. Room had empty box of tissues, could of been a bit cleaner, dust.

The staff were helpful and nice and the location was convenient. The kitchen is a nice convenience, but not needed for a short stay.

The carpet in the room was dirty. There is no fan or window in the washroom so steam from the shower stays in the room, this causes humidity and mold. I'm allergic to mold so this was very uncomfortable. The hotel has two towers, and only one common washroom with one stall located in the other tower. If you have a late flight out you can store your suit cases but no place to change. The toiletries were advertised as designer. It was bath and body brand. The washroom was dirty, hair in the tub. I don't recommend the Hotel for physically challenged guests as there are steep stairs up to the elevator from the lobby. I had to struggle with the suitcases up the stairs. Beware that the hotel charges if there are more than 2 occupants in the room. This was not disclosed at booking. They also charge for incidentals at check in. I found this Hotel to be Overpriced for what you get. I stayed at the Marriott down the street last year, I payed about the same and had a much nicer room, pool, etc.

BEDBUGS. I had to launder everything and throw away my luggage. very annoyed. have stayed here before but will not be going back.

We were in a suite and it was spacious and nicely furnished. Most staff were nice. Great having a Starbucks in the lobby. Nice central location.

The bathroom was small, especially the corner sink. There was no counter space. Front desk clerks were hit and miss. Some nice, some not. Concierge staff were great. The breakfast was OK, not great.

The staff were very friendly and the hotel was beautiful. We'd definitely stay here again!

The room was bright, clean and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchenette was fantastic! Stocked with the best shortbread cookies!

The double doors were unnecessary. Bathroom was a bit small.

Great location, walk to anywhere. Spacious room with separate kitchenette. Elegant and stylish. My wife enjoyed the makeup table in the room. Helpful staff.

Noisy HVAC. Slow draining shower / tub with slippery bottom. Not enough outlets to power all our devices at once.

Close proximty to city center, metro access through lobby.

Nothing

Everything was very good but the cost was high for a room. I could have been as comfortable at a less expensive hotel

Cost

A really fabulous hotel, friendly, happy and helpful staff, proud of their hotel and city and keen that you share it

Not guite the same for some of the bar staff

incredible suite for the price...

they tried to put me in a regular dbl room when I checked in! Reminded them I had booked and been confirmed by their reservations mgr for a suite with 2 dbl beds.

Walking distance to everything we wanted to do

Parking was expensive

For a stay in Washington D.C., I cannot imagine a more perfect hotel than the Courtyard Washington Convention Center. My husband and I were planning a quick sightseeing trip, and chose the hotel for its price and location. We could not have been more pleased. The hotel was immaculate, our beds were comfortable, and the staff was always more than accommodating. We were within walking distance of the National Mall, a number of museums and restaurants, and practically above Ford Theatre. The hotel itself was not without its charms; being an old bank, the basement included old vaults, and the local architecture, both of our building and the others in the area proved unparalleled. If we ever return to Washington D.C., we would love to stay here again. We were very sad to check out and see our visit end.

- Very convenient location - Bed fairly comfortable - Lotion, soap, and shampoo/conditioner provided were of good quality

- Furniture worn, iron burn on the dresser, battered lampshades, etc - Rusted drain in bathtub - Large gaps between bath fixtures and shower wall tiles - Air conditioning was bare minimum for Washington D.C. heat - Thermostat not easy to set--or not responding - Rooms at back of hotel look out on a very nearby office building and an alley where the garbage is collected between 5 and 6am. - No sheer curtains for privacy on windows (which face alley and nearby office building) - Could hear conversation in neighboring room - No breakfast of restaurant (though some choices nearby) - Lobby was completely under construction with no air conditioning and certainly no kind of lounge area

I liked the price and location phenomenal and very close to everything. Can uber for around $5-10 every from this location.

The only thing that was not the best was the fact that they were doing construction work in the lobby which is not that bad and did not affect our stay very much at all but we did hear some pretty loud street noise early in the morning at 6 am on Saturday morning from the back alley as our room was located on the 3rd floor and south side.

Location was excellent to walk or take the metro everywhere, breakfast was good, evening reception 3 days a week with drinks and appetizers was good as well. The service and hospitality of the staff was top notch.

Parking is valet only and expensive, $45 a day. Thankfully we didn't rent a car and were able to just walk or ride the metro everywhere.

Rooms needed to be dusted. Mini bar is electronic and not a refrigerator; DO NOT TOUCH or you will be charged.

Good location, helpful staff

poor plumbing, below average food and very high cost of room service

The hotel was very central to points of interest (for me) ie historical sites, shopping, gay neighborhood. All within walking distance. Fantastically clean.

No negatives

Sufficient for a stay over night.
