Top Ballou Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

Capitol Hill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very professional staff and extra helpful."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived earlier than check in time and the staff stored our luggage. The sitting areas were clean and comfortable. We used the public restroom in the hotel to freshen up, it was dark in there, so the lighting could be brighter. Our room was small, with one King bed but was very cozy and comfortable. The security on staff after hours was friendly and informative with how to use the afterhours door and then offered us water to take to our room. They accommodated our late check out request and even stored our luggage again after we checked out and went sight seeing. I will be returning to a CitizenM in the future."

Holiday Inn National Airport/Crystal City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious, well maintained and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful at all times. There was a breakfast buffet each each morning (typical of a hotel breakfast) that we chose to purchase as part of our room package that included eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, and French toast or pancakes. The food was freshly made and was very good. I would definitely stay here in the future."

Coda on Half, a Placemakr Experience - Navy Yard

8/10 Good

"Coda on Half is a nice newer place and i enjoyed the stay. My only complaints are: the studio listing said Queen bed and it was more like a double. The person at the front desk said it is a ‘European Queen. The bed and pillows were a little too firm for my tastes, and the bed frame creaked whenever I moved. The shades let through a lot of light and the room could use black out curtains."

Spacious DC Getaway • Modern Comfort • Walk-In Shower • Near Metro

8/10 Good

"Overall we had a nice stay at Andre’s place. He communicated well. There was a nice herb garden and I enjoyed the koi Pond. He needs to update his photos. The dining table and chairs changed to a slab of granite along the wall and three chairs. The living room furniture is not the same as the pictures. However, he had the best living room seating. Comfortable leather recliners seating for six. I was warned by several Uber drivers that the neighborhood is not safe. We made sure we were in at night. There was no problem for us. I don’t believe the cleaning staff looks into the cabinets. All were messy. While the kitchen had some unexpected appliances not found in a rental, the kitchen needs some basic items. A spatula, tongs, and vegetable peeler. The pans need updating. The toilet on the first floor is very wobbly."
