"."

Comfort Inn Oxon Hill - National Harbor

8/10 Good

"It’s okay, not too bad. It was just a little annoying because they closed the breakfast area earlier than the time they had stated. One of my friends who was staying in a room I booked didn’t get to eat breakfast because some of the food was taken back to their rooms. I stay at hotels all the time, and this is the first time I’ve ever experienced them closing the breakfast area before the stated time."

Landing at Bridge District

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property for people that prefer apartments over hotels. Xavier the property manager was very helpful and responsive. The check-in process is a little complicated, but the property management team is there to help you"
