Top Wheaton Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel in Washington DC

2/10 Terrible

"I would like to call out the terrible front desk service specifically Melissa. Very unpleasant person and incredibly unprofessional. "

Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great staff, amazing room and view. Only issue was with the location being 20-25 mins away from city and the bar who over charged $125 for 4 shots of whiskey and 1 Espresso Martini. She did try to make the bill for 25 mins and finally charged $125. I dont know in what world they would charge this much for. I purchase the same black label 750ml bottle for $48 and 4 shots of 30ml costed me approx $100 makes no sense at all."

Fairfield Inn by Marriott Washington D.C.

10/10 Excellent

"This motel is not in central DC but for our family of 4 it was quick uber ride to downtown for scheduled tours. The room rate and car parking rate was much better than the closer in properties. They have a nice breakfast, and the rooms were clean, attractive and with the usual amenities. We did find the TV was somewhat wonky to use but we weren't in the room much."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Wheaton cost?

Budget hotel prices in Wheaton vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.

When is the most affordable time to visit Wheaton?

The most affordable time to visit Wheaton is generally during the off-peak seasons, specifically late autumn (October to November) and late winter (January to February). During these months, demand for accommodation and flights tends to be lower, leading to more competitive pricing.

For solo travellers, visiting during these periods offers the opportunity to enjoy local attractions without the crowds. You might find better deals on guesthouses or smaller hotels in areas like the downtown Wheaton triangle, known for its diverse eateries and unique shops. The cooler weather is also pleasant for exploring the nearby Brookside Gardens, which often has free or low-cost events.

Families might find late winter particularly appealing due to the potential for lower airfares and accommodation rates. While outdoor activities might be limited by the cold, indoor attractions such as the Wheaton Arts and Cultural Centre or the local public libraries often host free family-friendly programmes.
