Top Ballou Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"I suggest arriving early for valet. It was full by the time we arrived so we had to self park without the in/out privileges. Otherwise everything was great! The hospitality staff was excellent! They were warm & welcoming and very helpful. They made our brkfst buffet experience nice. The front desk staff was also very nice - 2 young men - wish I had gotten their names. The rooms were clean & laid out well with a nice view of the marina. Thanks!"

Harborside Hotel, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Location"

Crowne Plaza Crystal City-Washington, D.C. by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great room"

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed in this hotel multiple times and I keep coming back because the location is excellent: the McPherson Square metro station is about 15 minutes walk but the bus stop is right next to the hotel. Checking in was easy and the front desk agent (John) was extremely professional, and he also helped us find restaurants. In my traveling companion’s room there was an issue that we addressed and they fixed it by the time we returned from our trip. They recently renovated the lobby and it is beautiful - I’m hoping they will start renovating the rooms as well as they’re a little outdated. No issues with cleanliness, there’s a coffee/tea maker and a mini fridge in the room and they provided 2 bottles of water and coffee/tea. Housekeeping kept refilling what needed. If you have a car and want to use their garage, that would be an extra charge (I believe it was $50/night). Breakfast is $18/person. When we checked out we asked to store our luggage in their storage and they did accommodate it. I highly recommend this hotel for those who do looking for a nice hotel experience and enjoy what DC can offer."

Capitol Hill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for all sites to see in DC. Restaurants nearby, metro nearby. It’s quiet and in a mostly residential neighborhood. Staff are super friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay there. I will definitely return next time I’m in town."

Hampton Inn & Suites Washington DC-Navy Yard

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay overall! The hotel staff were fantastic, our room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was great, and the location is unbeatable for checking out local restaurants. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars due to an unfortunate experience at the hotel's Rooftop Bar. The bartender was very unpleasant and unwelcoming. Just as it began to lightly sprinkle, he immediately announced he was closing down. We had barely received our drinks when he rushed over with the check, repeating that he was shutting down. It felt like he couldn't wait to leave work, which really put a damper on what should have been a relaxing evening enjoying a beautiful view."

Landing at Bridge District

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property for people that prefer apartments over hotels. Xavier the property manager was very helpful and responsive. The check-in process is a little complicated, but the property management team is there to help you"

SINGLE FAMILY 4BR/3.5 BATH HOME W/3-CAR DRIVEWAY!

8/10 Good

"Everything was appropriate and to my families liking. We enjoyed our time with my son and daughter in law whom we were visiting. We enjoyed Kings Dominion. The house was big enough for everyone and my grands enjoyed themselves as well"

VIBES! Breakfast - Free Parking/Piano/King Bed
