Hotels Near Franklin Park in Washington D.C.

What an absolutely amazing stay in the nations capital. My room was incredibly clean and it was even quiet, considering that there was a rooftop bar with live music. I slept well. And, I’m really grateful that they are in such close proximity to a Walgreens, which is right on the corner. I travel often and often forget a thing or two or just need simple things like bottles of water (I drink half a gallon to a gallon per day). But I want to give a big huge shout out to the staff particularly Jessica, Michael and Chris. I was traveling with someone with dementia. We were in town for the Alzheimer’s Association ball. And, they truly treated my travel companion with kid gloves! The staff were considerate to her needs and patient with her every step of the way. I even accidentally left my jacket in the hotel room trying to take care of my friend and Jessica call me later on that day to let me know that she found it and that she would personally ship it out. This jacket is very personal and special to me and has quite a bit of sentimental value so I’m so incredibly grateful that I didn’t lose it and that it’s on the way back to me. This was a great stay, a great hotel! You feel safe in a big city and the café downstairs has some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life!

I was staying at the Holiday Inn for a business trip. Overall, it was a good stay. I had one of the higher up corner rooms which had a fantastic view up the street and to the West so I got to see the sunset (07 room). I was in an accessible room so the bathroom was quite large and had a tub. Double queen with extra chair and ottoman and a tiny narrow desk that barely fit my laptop. There was a microwave, mini-fridge, safe that fit my laptop, and a k-cup coffee maker. I did not like the wardrobe as the space for hanging was very short meaning that my dresses and long clothes got folded up at the bottom, plus it was on the lower level (for accessibility I believe). Breakfast was included and had the standard variety (eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, etc.). I tried once but on other days we had breakfast at work. There is a lot of construction going on in the neighborhood. It didn't bother me since I was up when it started (7 am) and the windows blocked enough of the noise so that it wasn't too bad. I noticed it a bit more in the afternoon when I was trying to work. The area is alright but it is fairly close to Chinatown (5-10 min walk) so I could see the need to be careful late at night if on your own. The staff was very friendly, somewhat to the point of being too friendly for New England me, but overall very nice and helpful. Everything was extremely clean and in working order - although it took me a bit to figure out the lights. Short walk to the National Gallery and Mall. About a 15-20 minute walk to Union Station.

The trip was great and the stay at the hotel totally contributed to this. I would recommend the hotel and will also stay here again.

We had the opportunity to stay at the Yotel in Washington DC. At booking we had some hesitancy but we were so pleasantly surprised. The rooms were as described with very comfy beds. The lobby minimally furnished with no frills like gift shops or any luxury. However the staff is exceptional! Ms Dionne at Art and Soul is a wonderful presence and greets everyone with smile and pleasantries... she is wonderfully friendly and helpful. We will not soon forget her greetings or helpfulness.. Myla at the desk...saw we were distressed about the rain..in a minute she ran to a supply room and came back with umbrellas for us to use...we never asked...she just did it! And Dewan was so responsive on any and all requests. She was caring and concerned for us as hotel guests.. The bellman, maintainance and housekeeping staff went above and beyond as well! This DC vacation will stay our my memory...not because of the sights but because of Ms Dionne, Myla and Dewan and the staff at Yotel DC. Thank You! Phyllis & Vito

The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from the National Assembly. The hotel facilities are very good. The room facilities are quite new. The front desk service is warm and patient with me who is not good at English. The hotel security saw me taking photos of the Congress not far away from the hotel entrance, and asked if I wanted to help take pictures. The Capitol area is very quiet after dark in Washington, with few pedestrians on the road. The nearest convenience store is about a 10-minute walk away, and there are restaurants nearby. There don't seem to be many, but the hotel has a restaurant that can serve meals. However, during the day, there are many tourists in this area and it is relatively lively. The price/performance ratio was very good when I checked in in January. I will stay at this hotel again if I have another chance.

PROS: Stood here for the weekend with my partner. Aesthetically, the hotel is super artsy, fun, and pleasing to the eye. The decor and appearance screams chic, quirky, and metropolitan. From the lobby, adorned with all manners of interesting books, odd trinkets, and colorful sculptures, to the cute, cozy outdoor sitting space filled with pretty greenery, I could not stop raving about this hotel the entire trip. The style of the rooms could very much be described as a European “take” on the well-known Japanese “Pod” style hotels. The rooms were concise (not cramped) and had a sleek, modern, and minimalistic style of furniture (desk with chair, bench, vanity w/sink, bed-frame with built in storage space). Think “IKEA meets stylish, retro Japanese pod hotel”. If that makes sense. LOL. Plus everything in the room is controlled using an iPad which I think it pretty flipping cool. SMART TV in the room, as well, meaning unlimited access to YouTube, Netflix, or pretty much anything that can stream from your phone/device which is perfect after a long day exploring the city. (You can also change the color of the mood lighting in the room via the IPad which provided my boyfriend and I with hours of entertainment pretending we were post apocalyptic humans trapped in some green-tinted “Twilight Zone” style alien bunker) Also, if you prefer a hard mattress, you will find the hotel bed very comfortable. During our time here, we had easy access to a LOT of good food. There’s 2 restaurants inside the hotel as well as a really great Middle Eastern restaurant directly across the street. (I approve of their falafel and roasted sweet potatoes. Very good). There are so many cultural and ethnic restaurants in the immediate area for those who are adventurous eaters. There’s even a pretty nice Trader Joe’s around 4 blocks away for stocking the hotel room with healthy snacks and beverages (a must). Plus Union Market is pretty close to the hotel. I wouldn’t miss it if I were you. Big hall with lots of food vendors and even a little shopping. Even if you aren’t looking to eat and just want to kill a little time, it’s still interesting to walk around and see the cool and unique foods they sell. Soak up the little local color. Overall, it was a totally unique and memorable hotel experience that was totally worth the cost. Well done. LF

Clean specious rooms with a coffee machine. Wanted to compliment David in security on night duty. Hotel surround has some unsavory characters but hotel has very good security to watch out for its guests Good option for DC for location. Restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Lift a bit temperamental

Our tour group spent 4 days and 3 nights in February 2023 and we were checked-in efficiently, treated warmly, and thanks for our business. Our three breakfasts were hot and plentiful and the meals were serviced perfectly by two staff members. In fact, upon our group's departure I was contacted by Simo, from the breakfast staff, who told me he had located a young tour passenger's purse and made sure it was secure until we could return to pick it up. Well done, Simo! Meanwhile, the location is absolutley primo for a group tour of the Capital city.

I came to the Holiday Inn Express with two of my friends and the assistant manager Ibrahim was very helpful when we had some trouble checking in and he was very helpful throughout the process of helping us. Very professional and my friend and I will definitely come back to this hotel because of him.

We stayed overnight and enjoyed this very recently renovated hotel. It's bright, spacious, and welcoming. The modern decor is a bit minimalist but the bed, room appointments, and bath were all first-rate. And the price is reasonable. One minus: the bathroom has a motion-activated light; if you get up during the night to use the bathroom, the light comes on with blinding blindness that is disorienting and can make it difficult to get back to sleep.
