"Coming off an underwhelming hotel in NYC, my girlfriend and I plus our friend were both pleasantly surprised with this place. The service was really the stand out, all of the staff were exceptionally friendly, happy and helpful. The room is small but extremely clean and modern. The location is also excellent, a short 2 minute walk to L’Enfant Metro station or about 7 minutes to walk to the Mall. Really a wonderful stay."

"The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, about a 10-minute drive from Ronald Reagan Airport, and within walking distance to all the major attractions. Right next door is the Spy Museum, and across the street, an elevator leads down to a plaza (pictured in image 11) with several restaurants, including the famous American Panda Express, which is worth a try if you're interested! The hotel lobby is spacious, and the front desk service is excellent. The rooms are large, and the beds are huge. There are two complimentary bottles of water in the room, and each floor has a water dispenser offering free water and ice. Glass bottles for refilling water are provided in the room. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, and slippers are not provided. There's an electric kettle, which is a great plus! They charged a $200 deposit upon check-in, which was promptly refunded after check-out."

"Of course the best hotel for our entire trip. No comments. Everything is convenient, polite staff, beautiful location. "

"We loved our stay at the Washington Plaza, friendly, helpful and courteous staff, all amenities were great,. The room was nice, clean and the soap, shampoo and conditioner were great, 2 bottles of water were in the room and a small fridge. The gym was great, lots of machines, free weights, TRX, bozu ball. Weighted balls, there was lots of equipment. The Bar/restaurant had good food, reasonable prices and good service. All round wonderful play to stay."

"The decoration looks like an old-fashioned hotel, so the facilities are a little bit worse. But the room is big enough, the health is good, there is a coffee machine, and the customer service staff are also very polite. It takes about ten minutes to get to the station."

"I arrived early to check in, and the front desk informed me that early check-in would incur a fee; complimentary check-in starts after 2 PM. Luggage storage costs $1 per suitcase. Many people mentioned the $25 daily credit, which can be used at Starbucks for breakfast. If you charge it to your room, the deduction will appear as a separate line item. Alternatively, you can pay on the spot, only paying Starbucks for the amount exceeding $25, and the hotel bill will still show the $25 credit, so there's no issue with double charging. The area around the hotel is under construction, and it's a bit of a walk to the subway station, but still manageable. Most of the time, you'll need to transfer subway lines to reach attractions, which is still quite convenient, and the price is relatively affordable."

"First off, I need to say that I stayed for quite a while, and I really regret it. I should have booked for just one day and then extended my stay as needed. This hotel has a strict no early checkout policy; if you leave early, they still charge you for the full booked duration. Why do I regret it? Here are a few points I wasn't happy with: (1) The room was too small. I booked a 'Super King Room,' which implies it's suitable for two people, but upon checking in, I realized it simply had a super king-sized bed, not a large room. On the contrary, the room was tiny; it would be okay for one person at best. The width of the room was equivalent to the length of a single mattress, and its length was about 3.2 to 3.3 times the width of a mattress (around 1.8m each, I'd guess). (2) The hotel only offers this one room type, so there's no option to upgrade. (3) The air quality in the room was poor. Because the room was small and had no windows, it relied entirely on the air conditioning for ventilation. After leaving in the morning and returning at night, there was still that old-fashioned train smell. This is why we left early in the morning and came back late at night – we simply didn't want to spend time in the room. Just to clarify, pictures 2 and 3 show the actual situation with the bathroom door open. So, if you're someone who's out all day and only comes back to sleep, if you're traveling solo, and if it's for a short stay of just a day or two, then this hotel might be acceptable."

"My wife, our 5-year-old son, and I recently spent 3 lovely nights at Canopy by Hilton Washington DC Embassy Row during our family trip to the nation’s capital, and it turned out to be the ideal choice for our little family of three. Located in the charming Embassy Row neighborhood, the hotel’s location is truly unbeatable—just a 10-minute walk to Farragut North Metro Station, allowing us to easily reach iconic spots like the National Mall, Smithsonian Museums, and the White House, which were perfect for our curious 5-year-old. We booked a deluxe room with two queen beds, which was spacious and comfortable for the three of us. The room was impeccably clean, with bright, modern decor and soft lighting that made it feel warm and welcoming after long days of sightseeing. The plush beds ensured we all slept well, and the blackout curtains were a lifesaver for our son, who tends to wake up early with sunlight. There were plenty of USB charging ports and free Wi-Fi, which kept our son entertained with his tablet during downtime, and the room had enough space for him to play a little without feeling cramped. What impressed us most was how family-friendly the hotel was, especially for a young child. The staff was incredibly warm and patient; they greeted our son by name after the first day and even gave him a small toy as a welcome gift, which made him feel so special. There were also convenient coffee stations in the lobby, perfect for a quick pick-me-up before we headed out to explore the city with our little one. The complimentary Canopy bikes were a fun activity for our family—our son loved riding in the child seat while my wife and I cycled around the quiet, tree-lined streets of Embassy Row. The concierge was also very helpful, recommending family-friendly restaurants nearby and helping us plan our itinerary to avoid crowds at the museums, which made our trip much smoother. Overall, our stay was wonderful. The hotel’s prime location, comfortable accommodations, and thoughtful, family-focused service made our DC trip unforgettable. We highly recommend Canopy by Hilton Embassy Row to any family traveling with a young child—we couldn’t have asked for a better home base. We will definitely return on our next family trip to Washington DC."

"Great location and very clean. The room had very little table space.  Room and bathroom could use some more table/shelves space. Very little  counter space for toiletries bag in the bathroom, a self under the sink would have definitely helped the over crowding at the sink."

"Lyle hotel is such a gem located in a quaint neighbourhood at DuPont circle. It is quiet yet close enough to all the major museums in DC. It is also located within close proximity to numerous restaurants. The only flaw was a lack of tabletop in the bathroom, which made it difficult to place toiletries in the bathroom."
