Top Ellipse Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Nice modern efficient good location able to walk to national mall"

Eaton DC

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel close to the White House and other attractions. A few negatives were the price of an American spritz at the rooftop bar of $22 and $67 for overnight parking per night. And if you’re going to places like the wharf or even Georgetown, taking an Uber or Lyft is preferred over driving."

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"It’s nice to see an Historic hotel still vibrant in downtown DC. I like the feel of the place. With that said it’s missing a lot of hotel amenities I’ve gotten used to….from a refrigerator in your room, a dresser for your clothes , a bottled water or two and an ice machine in the hallway. There were a lot of conveniences missing. Then there’s $59 a day for valet parking ….unless you were fortunate enough to find a spot on the street. I would shop around a little bit and read the amenities before choosing so you’re not disappointed."

The Beacon at Embassy Row, WorldHotels Distinctive

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente"

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"Courtyard view room, decent size, but no luggage stand, no desk. Bathroom was very small, nowhere to store bath accessories. The shower was good - water pressure like a fire hydrant. A lot of good things, but a few small disappointments. Overall, I would recommend."

Tempo By Hilton Washington Dc Downtown

"Everything checked all of the boxes"
