Independent Downtown Washington D.C. hotels

"I love the area around the hotel, beautiful historical buildings, safe area tp walk"

"This was my first trip to Washington, DC, and the team at Motto Hotel made me feel right at home from the moment I walked through the doors. Ranee and Bernadette at the front desk were incredibly welcoming and helpful during check-in, even recommending some fantastic local restaurants that made my stay extra special. I felt safe throughout my time there, and I loved the cozy, thoughtfully designed rooms. The housekeeping staff were all hardworking, accommodating women who went above and beyond to meet my needs. Well done, Motto Hotel! Thank you for a memorable experience."

"Upgraded for free!!! Completely unexpected. Loved the property "

"Wonderful location, staff and stay. Pleasantly surprised, we had a family vacation with our 11 year old son. Hotel was wonderful in amenities, location is very convenient and staff go beyond their duties to make you feel welcomed. Everyone is extremely nice and helpful. Rooms are comfy and clean."

"The hotel was a well-kept century-old property. Very clean. Good location. The only possible concern is the size of the shower. I was glad I’m not a large person—it would have felt cramped. Cafe had delicious breakfasts. "

"The hotel is a historic place and shows its age but still is a very comfortable environment. Eventhough it is across the street from a 5star property, getting a taxi is time consuming. Breakfast was good but the bar closed early. If you're out to a show or dining, when you get back to the hotel it's pretty much only a place to sleep. "

"It was clean and walkable. "

"Great customer service and front desk help. Loved the lobby with so many spaces to work or e and the breakfast was wonderful at the hotel Restuarant. "

"I liked the spaciousness of the room, the great lap pool, the evening get-together, the great breakfasts, and the convenience of walking to my conference."
