Clean, parking garage access, more than decent-sized gym and gym equipment. Comfortable bed, and fantastic shower / water pressure. Even the restrooms in the lobby were way above standard.

We thought it was very strange that there was not a single microwave in any of the rooms, lobby, / common areas. I asked the front desk staff, and I was informed that there weren't any microwaves on the property. So, if you were thinking about heating up the leftovers, you could not finish at one of the many great restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. No dice.

Breakfast not included here, but a good breakfast is available a la carte, i.e., not a buffet. Our room was spacious and with nice view of the Plaza. Location is excellent for access to museums and monuments. Best thing: the staff were attentive and pleasant from from the front desk to the people at the front door to the servers in the restaurant. Really nice, big outdoor pool and the gym well equipped. Shower worked well.

the bathroom could be bigger. Sometimes, it was difficult to use the room key card to operate the elevator. The lobby is not so attractive.

I loved the view, the pool, the staff, the location, and the comfort of having a garage i could go in and out of at no charge (though there is a charge in general for using it). The staff was lovely- helpful- and made an effort to provide us with the best accomodations. Love that the pool is open from 9-9! Big plus on hot humid summer days

The bathrooms while big are carpeted and that makes it a bit uncomfortable when walking around with wet feet or from the pool. The overall hotel needs a slight upgrade as it pertains to decor. Also while the staff was lovely, the bar woman outside at the pool was unfriendly.

The major plus is quietness. The beds are very comfortable, window air conditioning unit was fairly quiet doing its job. I loved the lightning in the room and bathroom- beautiful soft golden light, not those modern ugly bluish lights they have now in newer hotels. That light allowed for beautiful make up application and there was a full-size mirror in the room, which was a huge plus for us ladies. There was an ironing board and an iron. The bathroom was clean and pleasant to be in. There is a restaurant in the premises, which is a major place that you don’t have to run around the city looking for a place to eat. A lovely selection of healthy choices and they can modify the menu for you. The stuff at the reception desk and the waitresses in the restaurant are really professional. There is a door man by the entrance door, which is a nice surprise and reference to older days. All in a beautiful uniform and acting professionally. I like the foyer of the hotel, very nice and wealthy looking with beautiful lounge area and beautiful bathrooms. There is a beautiful pool outside by the restaurant which we did not use, but if I had a swimming suit, I would probably have used it as other people did and were even ordering food to the tables by the pool.

The was no fan in the bathroom so all the hot air was getting inside the room. Also it would have been nice to have a ceiling fan above the bed, which would have helped with steam evaporation from the bathroom showers and probably would reduce the air conditioning bill for those guys as well. They are not that difficult to install but are very pleasant and efficient to have around especially in the murky hot weather of Washington DC.

Room was excellent. Plenty of desk space for my writing/viewing iPad and placing my peripherals. Everything was clean. Staff mistakenly placed a baby crib in the room while I was out for the day. I notified front desk and the cheerful service staff came within 5 minutes and removed the crib promptly.

I came to D.C. to spend time in the Museums and attractions on the mall. The location is a bit remote and walking to the hotel may take at least 20+ minutes if you don't mind walking. D.C. city blocks are long! The Metro Station I used (Farragut North) is also at least 10+ minutes walking, assuming you have your Google map showing you the way on the first time. Also, bakeries and cafes are also 10-15+ minutes walk away.

Location

A charge put on my credit card by Wilson Anthony , which I had to dispute to have them removed.The entire stay was great until he decided to abuse his authority

The hotel is in a very good location; you can easily walk to the main attractions and interesting places in the city. The staff was very nice, especially the people at the reception and the gentleman who opened the doors. The room was satisfactory, and the bed was comfortable.

The hotel is located near a large roundabout, so if you have a room facing this direction, it can be quite noisy, and the windows don’t seal well enough to block out the sound. The bathroom is very small, and it’s clear that the shower, bathtub, and overall bathroom fixtures are outdated and need to be replaced.

The location was really great proximity to the things I visited. The staff were courteous and helpful whenever I had questions. There was one bellhop in particular who really made my stay more welcoming because he remembered me, always kindly greeted me with a smile and overall was good spirited.

I needed a microwave some days but the property doesn’t have one for guests. It would be nice if the property had a drink and snack machine onsite, if someone cannot get to a convenience store. Also, it would be good to have an informational list in the rooms. Whatever programming is set for the tv is complicated to navigate channels. It doesn’t operate like a traditional cable guide. I also didn’t see the bar area open on the days it was supposed to be but I asked and was told there was another bar area open by the restaurant area. Lastly, it would be helpful for guests to know if there is a secured space to place luggage if arriving before check-in, as a courtesy.

My husband and I were there visiting the city to site-see. We enjoyed the ease of finding the hotel. The parking of our car in a gated area was great. The location of the hotel was in walking distance of all the attractions we were wanting to see. The staff was super friendly and the food was fantastic. We ate breakfast and dinner and it was wonderful. The bed was comfortable as well especially after walking all day it was nice having a restful and peaceful sleep.

The pricing to park our car could have been cheaper I think but then again can you really put a price on security! I would say that any higher on parking might have discouraged us from staying here.

I don't travel into Washington, DC often. I had to make a trip due to a family emergency. The Washington Plaza Hotel was affordable and relatively close to the hospital. The room was comfortable, the parking was convenient, however a bit steep in price. I was pleased with my stay, despite the reason for the stay. The staff was very pleasant.

The parking price was expensive, at $43/night. There was also a $50, refundable "deposit" added at the time of check-in. I was not expecting that charge, as it was not listed in the hotel description. Having that information ahead of time can alleviate any surprises.
