Residence Inn Washington, DC/Foggy Bottom

8/10 Good
"Overall the stay was nice. We were only there for 1 night so we didn't have a lot of time to explore the amenities of the hotel. The one major downfall was having our room keys deactivated an hour before we had to checkout of the room. This made it extremely difficult to get our personal property out of the room and into the car. We ended up having to leave one adult in the room so that the rest of us could get back in because we could not get it all out to the car in one trip. I was also very disappointed with the number of charges that needed to be paid at checkin which were not disclosed when we originally booked the room even though a phone call was made to confirm the reservation and it could have been disclosed at that time."

"Checked in and they upgraded me to a suite at check in and it was huge! Very clean, comfortable bed , full kitchen with kuirig machine which was great. The only fault with the room was small outdated analog tv which would have been nice to watch in the evening. Walking distance to sandwich and coffee joints but no vending machines in the hotel to get a soda etc but there is a liquor store next door with no soda so it was a good walk to the cvs store. Hotel was well worth the price and I would stay again but just come better supplied. Daughter had a normal room which had a full kitchenette and she too loved the hotel. Uber rides to all the landmarks was reasonably priced and we used them alot Heads up, you are right in college kids country and the sidewalks are full of them."

"While this property is located in Arlington Virginia, It is only 15 minutes away from DC which is my favorite place to visit. This is my go to hotel. The city views are amazing. The staff is helpful and friendly. And it is also close by to quick shops. The rooms are always clean. Parking is easy, but you do have to pay a daily fee of either $39 or $49 depending upon whether or not you want vallet. But that is unlimited entrance and exit."
