Top Fairfax Hotel Reviews

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We are a group of 6 senior people we want the hotel close to everything so we don't have to rent a car, and this hotel was perfect for what we need liked that the hotel was right in the center. It is an old building but remodeled with new bathroom very nice and clean It’s only a short walking distance to most major attraction,Tibet Basin, the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King. Room was very large and have separate bathroom kitchen and big refrigerator staff very friendly and helpful when you asking for information they go out of their way to help you. Everything is excellent and I would come back again next year and recommend it for friend."

Motto by Hilton Washington DC City Center

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The access to the rooftop bar was such a lovely perk. The room was well maintained and efficient for the space. An excellent place to stay, whether in town for a concert at Capital One Arena a block away, or hopping on the Chinatown Metro to any other destination in DC. Any time we ran into hotel staff, they were personable and helpful! We will certainly be staying here on our next DC venture."

YOTEL Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Yotel in Washington DC was great. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They go above and beyond to assist. 💕 I would have liked to use the pool—however I’ll have to come back! Check in/out are a breeze, no waiting in line unless there’s a question or issue. The only real negative is the lack of a coffee machine in the room. This would really make our stay exceptional. There is limited coffee provided on the 2nd floor—however most hotels have this accessible at all times. We were able to get a mini fridge which I greatly appreciated as I was travelling with two kids. Parking is easy and underneath the hotel, which made it easy to transport our items. The location is minutes from Union station and about 10-15 min from the Smithsonian museums. Great location! Thank you for a great stay."
