Feedback about Washington Plaza Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Washington Plaza Hotel is often chosen for its prime location, with guests appreciating the easy walk to the White House and the Smithsonian museums. The outdoor pool is a highlight for many, complemented by the convenience of an on-site restaurant accessible from the pool area. While most found the rooms spacious and well-equipped with amenities like a fridge, some guests have noted that certain rooms can be on the smaller side. Plus, there are several dining options along 14th Street and convenient stores like Wawa and CVS nearby.

Solid Stay in the City

The staff was really helpful with directions. My room had two separate sinks, and that was nice. I liked the rainfall shower in the bathroom. There was also a good view of the city.
The hotel parking was hidden though it was almost $50 per night.

The hotel has a restaurant that is accessible from both indoors and the outdoor pool area. This made dining on-site quite convenient. The rooms offered ample space. I found the gym great, it had many options for workouts. It is also walkable to a Wawa for quick needs.
