Omni Shoreham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean and nicely decorated, and all of the staff was "

Club Quarters Hotel in Washington DC

4/10 Poor

"To whom it may concern, my room was not comfortable the air conditioning did not work. I went through the Club Quarters Hotel app to inform someone. I received a response from someone they would come and check it out. When I returned to my room, I saw that someone had been in there but it still was not cool. I reached out again they said they would find me another room. The day I checked out May 19th 2026, the receptionist tells me that they tried to call me to give me another room, I said well I was on business so I was not in the room. The receptionist said but we did try to reach you, I said well you had my phone number and you had the app and the way y'all reached out to me? Receptionist response was oh yeah I guess we did. Not very professional. For the price I paid, I did not receive the customer service that I felt was acceptable. Mr. Douglas"

Gateway Hotel

"the sink had a crack in it from the side down to the drain hole. the wallpaper in the bathroom was old and warped. the exhaust vent wasn't on straight and looked broken. the doorframe in the bathroom and graffiti on it. there was dried weed stems on the towel arrangement that was on the bathtub. The room smellled like cigarrette smoke. other tenants were outside of my door talking and smoking at 3AM. I could not get any rest. I had to let the group of men that was hanging outside my door that someone was in the room they chose to hold court in front of. There was a woman that looked unhoused and smelled that was ouside the lobby door, followed me inside. Lastly, the man inside the parking booth was not paying attention. i had to get out of the car and walk up to the window and hold up the parking permit. he cam out hand pushed the iron gate by hand. this property could of been nice but needs lots of work."

8/10 Good

"Self check in was easy and fast. For those folks that are not technology proficient, friendly staff are ready & available to help! Rooms are clean & modern. A tablet controls everything from the TV to the lights & temperature! Easily located within walking distance of many attractions! My only small gripe was the food selection at the lobby store but if you're planning on eating out around town then you're good! I would stay here again! "
