Residence Inn Washington, DC Downtown

Convenient, friendly, clean & comfortable. All high up on our list when staying away from home & this place delivered on all fronts. Valet & bellman were helpful & very kind. Room is big … & so clean!

Went on a Boy Scouts Washington DC trip and stayed here with the rest of the Boy Scout families. Small lobby and it became packed when our 2 bus loads of families came to check in. Despite being packed like sardines in the lobby, the front desk employees worked fast and gave out rooms to everyone within afew minutes! Very impressed! We were in room 707, a large studio room. It had a fridge, small kitchenette and the room was very clean and updated. The pullout sofa was firm (for a pullout mattress), they had extra pillows, sheets and blankets for it. Great location, very close to everything.

This hotel was perfect for our long weekend stay at DC. The hotel is situated very close to many of the key places to visit which made it very easy to see things with simply walking or riding through Über for less than $ 10 for the places that are further.
We had a studio like room which was kept very clean and tidy. The only suggestion I have for them is to give more toiletries (shampoo and body wash). My husband and I were only given one shampoo, conditioner and body wash and I have very long hair. We did leave our room attendant a note to leave us more and she did. So that was good. But I think it should be standard that they give more than one if there is more than one person in a room. Other than that, we are very happy to have stayed there.

I had such a great stay at this hotel on a recent trip to D.C. Reasonable pricing and a clean hotel. We had daily continental breakfast to help kick start our day. The hotel is located right next to a 24 CVS downstairs. The location of the hotel is walking distance to the convention center and also (though not the closet) to the National Mall. Lots of eateries surrounding the area.
The studio suite was spacious. Included a kitchenette which had it’s own fridge with ice. Couch was a fold out mattress. Hotel staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again!

Good location but there are many other hotels in the area. I would not stay here again.
While the rooms are nice, the walls are thin, the street noise is non-​stop and there isn’t even a full length mirror in the rooms.
Breakfast is free but it’s continental and not as nice as other hotels. The «reception» on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night leaves a LOT to be desired. Chips and salsa and cheese (no crackers) is standard fare.
The Free WiFi didn’t work the entirety of my stay despite repeated calls to technical service. When I attempted to purchase wifi and pay the daily rate, the link didn’t work.
Recommend finding an alternate location.

We usually stay in comfort inn type places so I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this room was. The bed was very very comfortable and room was spacious. It had a mini-​kitchen and pull out couch, table with chairs, desk type table, and real plates and cups and free microwave popcorn! Very nice bathroom, spacious and clean shower. Excellent price through online booking and check in staff as well as valets were very nice, friendly and helpful. We didn’t get the continental breakfast so I don’t know about the food. It was Very conveniently located — we walked to the Washington monument and White House, 10 – 15 minutes. I wish I didn’t have to park our car– couldn’t done without the $ 33/​day fee.

This is the best price-​for-​worth Motel I have ever stayed at, the Residence Inn is right in the middle of downtown, only a mile from the National Mall and a few blocks from the White House. The rooms are newly remodeled, well decorated with several amenities; microwave, full fridge, stovetop; I highly recommend staying here.

Nice hotel with a central location in downtown DC. Very convenient to the National Mall, The White House, and Logan Circle. There are two Metro Stations walking distance to the hotel, and a shopping district 10 minutes walk on L street. On the same block of the hotel are ²⁄₃ restaurants, a CVS, Au Bön Pain, and a liquor store. The hotel staff were always helpful and the room was clean, a little stylish, and comfortable with a king size bed and a sofa. A pretty decent breakfast is served in the morning and included in your rate. Most impressive was there were slight changes to the offerings each day.

We just got home from a weekend trip to DC. I booked this hotel online. You never know until you get there. I was very impressed. The valet out front was super easy. The check in process was smooth. The room was real nice. 2 double beds and a pull out couch, it also had a full size refrigerator and microwave. The décor was super modern and trendy. Everything looked brand new to me. Bed was comfy. The breakfast included was great. Eggs, pancakes, cereals, fruit etc. Only negative is no restaurant on site but it’s ok because there is so much close by. We ate at the Hard Rock Café and took a cab. There is a CVS at the hotel so anything you need is there. Snacks, magazines, toiletries etc. After we left we realized my son forgot his favorite pillow. I called and they had it waiting for us at the front desk along with complementary water bottles. A+++

Great location to downtown. Easy walking distance to a lot of food choices. Short walk to tour the city as well. Rooms were nice and staff was very friendly. Nearly 40 bucks a night for valet. Overall satisfied with my stay and if I visited again this hotel would be on my list to stay at.

Pros: Remodelled spacious rooms are nice, kitchen is useful, nice breakfast included, convenient location, friendly helpful staff, free wifi.
Cons: older building with poor windows means a lot of street noise. Ask for an upper floor, we are on 4. Thin walls — noise from hall, slamming doors, and neighboring rooms is more than typical. Room smells faintly of cigarette smoke.

Residence Inn is a great location if ur looking to come to DC to unwind. Most restaurants and bars are within walking distance. The room has all amenities that U need. Refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, in-​room safe. Comes with a free breakfast. Not sure if I got to breakfast late but it looked like it was missing everything. Staff was kind and attentive.

The location of the Residence Inn Downtown is Bedrock. It is in the center of downtown night life. Bars, lounges and restaurants are on every block. A 24 hour CVS is conveniently right next door for anything you forgot to pack or may suddenly need.
The rooms are a great size. Full kitchen and small living room area. The hotel is under renovations but I did not see any construction nor was my stay interrupted by it, which is greatly appreciated. I think we were on the renovated floor because everything in our room looked brand new.
Staff was super friendly and accommodating. We had a problem with our air conditioner but the electrician came and fixed it immediately. The staff was so attentive and checked to make sure our issue was resolved.
I deducted a star due to the complimentary breakfast was chaotic. It may have been the time we got there but the set up was not proper to withstand the influx of guests. Also a lot of the breakfast options, Belgium waffles and breakfast burritos, that was advertised on the hotel website was not offered. This seemed a little misleading but I want to think with positive intention. Maybe this was just the timing.
Overall I would stay here again. You can’t beat the price and location with a stick.

Clean place. free breakfast… Location is about half hour walk from the Mall. Some good places to eat.. More of you are willing to walk.. Small, uneventfull lobby. Internet connection is free but bad… nice quiet area… walking distanced to all places .I guess. .I love to walk. So no big deal for me

We stayed at this hotel on a recent visit to #washingtonDC. It was great clean and accommodating. It’s very close to all of the attractions. Breakfast was complimentary, full breakfast, not coffee and cereal. We had only one night, but would stay here again. Thanks

Very convenient location. Nice Rooms. Easy access to Metro.
We stayed here for 5 days while visiting Washington DC and we had room on the 7^th floor facing the Thomas Circle. The hotel is in a very noisy location and the windows open to the street. The breakfast lounge is very crowded and the staff wasn’t very well prepared to handle the guests. The valet parking is understaffed and it can take upto 40 minutes to get your vehicle during the morning hours. Perhaps it was the time of the year when the staff was out and usually high volume of guests.
Overall it is an ideal location when visiting DC with family.

Excellent service! I was surprising my friend for her birthday and they were so easy going to the idea and helpful during the process.
The location of this hotel is perfect for site seeing and visiting monuments during the day and clubbing and going to the bars at night. There is something in the area for everyone.
The studio room was perfect. Great space even with the sofa bed pulled out! The best kitchen I’ve had in a hotel with a room this size. Had everything you needed including an ice maker in your room so you didn’t have to go get ice. The bed was extremely comfortable I almost didn’t get up for breakfast haha. The sofa bed could use a better mattress but it was still okay.
What really blew me away were the breakfast staff. Amazing people, literally did everything you asked plus more. I feel like they needed to be tipped more than half the servers I’ve ever had in my life!
Overall I really enjoyed my stay here and will be coming back in the future!

I’m a loyal Marriott member and yet this was my first time staying at a Residence Inn. I loved it! Aside from the perfect location (right across the street from the awesome restaurant Lincoln, 15 minute walk from the Washington Monument, White House, WWII Memorial, etc.), it’s a really cozy hotel. Nice space, kitchen, sitting area – what more could you want? The staff is just darling and breakfast is free on the second floor (open until 10:30am I believe). I actually didn’t have a chance to grab breakfast but I did get a coffee before heading across the street to a meeting at NACUBO. Yogurt looked good and everyone I was briefly with seemed to enjoy their breakfast.
I’m planning on coming back to DC during the cherry blossom festival next year and will definitely be staying here again!

The service from the food area workers and the security guard is great but I wouldn’t expect any sort of customer service from the front desk.
The room was fantastic and the breakfast was great. It’s unfortunate they have service issues.

This was a great value for the location. I stayed on points but even I got a discount on those.
When I checked in they had cookies in the reception. They were a welcome sight considering I hadn’t eaten since 10 o’clock that morning (I checked in at 8pm). My room was a one bedroom suite on the end. Room was very large with enough space for others to spread out in if I had others with me. Everything was very clean. Bed was very, very comfortable. The room has 2 LCD tv’s in it: one in the living room area and one in the bedroom.
This hotel will do grocery shopping for you if you leave a list at the front desk. They conveniently charge the cost of groceries to your bill so you don’t have to leave them with money. I think that is neat. I didn’t utilize this service but that shows the extra steps they will take to please a customer. There is a 24 hour CVS next door that sells some groceries also.
The McPherson Square Metro station is 3 blocks to the left of the hotel. Parking is $ 30 dollars a night if you must have a car.
The only issue I had was that the bathroom had a faint smell of mildew in it. I saw that it looked like it was coming from the overflow drain in the sink because I could see the gunk buildup there. Otherwise everything else was very clean.
I can’t fail to mention the breakfast: it is free and enough to fill you up to get you ready for a day out in Washington, DC. It is very basic with make-​your-​own waffles with different toppings, scrambled eggs, bagels, muffins, english muffins, red potatoes, eggs benedict. There were also different breads for toast and your basic juices of orange and apple. Nothing fancy but you can’t be picky about a free breakfast!
Oh yeah Free WiFi!
