Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good
"The staff was excellent. Location is superb! Right next to a Metro station and 2 blocks from the White House. The air conditioning wasn’t blowing cold air but they fixed it asap. The room was a little cozy but ok. Housekeeping every day."

State Plaza Hotel

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good
"Location is its best feature along with helpfulness of staff. The breakfast area is the weak point, but as it is not included in the room fee, it can be avoided. Overall, the location cannot be beat for the price in comparison to other hotels in the area. There are no stellar views, but this is not likely a vacation hotel. It's a highly functional hotel where you can avoid needing a car-priceless in DC."
