Hotels Near John Carroll Statue in Washington D.C.

The design is better. The facilities are relatively new. The bathroom is relatively small. The floor aisle is darker.

The restaurant at the Washington Plaza hotel is delicious, affordable & beautiful. But the cherry on top is the amazing service. I rarely love hotel dining but this is a treat. And, the apple martinis Sharda made were to die for! I told her it reminded me why I stopped drinking them - they’re strong & it’s hard to have just one.

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.

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

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.

I stayed at this brand new hotel at the University of Maryland and had a wonderful time. It is conveniently located to visit the university, but it is also very simple to go to DC using the Metro, which I did. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet. The WiFi is strong enough for video calls and work. The staff was very kind, including the cleaning staff.

I made my reservations on line through the Choice Website and check-in was quick and easy. Once in my room I found it to be clean and the bed comfortable and well mad. The bathroom in my room was one of the smallest that I have encountered with this chain. The room overall as I sad was clean but it was beginning to show it's age. It front cover of my HVAC Unit was loose and quiet loud but after a little work I was able to secure it enough to stop the noise. The breakfast area features the usual waffles, eggs, a meat, with fruit, yogurt, cereals, juice and coffee. The breakfast area can get very crowded but for the most part the attendant keep it clean and well stocked. This hotel features a Free shuttle to the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station which is a little over a mile away. With free parking at the hotel this shuttle is a very nice feature that we took advantage of several times during our stay. When we arrived back at the Metro Station, we simply called the hotel for pickup and in about 10 minute our shuttle arrived. Over all I was very satisfied with my stay and will stay here again when I am in the D.C./NOVA area.

I needed a reasonable place to stay in the area, and I saw that EVEN Hotel Rockville was located nicely and had a good price. Sometimes with a good price, hotels lack in some areas. However, this was not the case with EVEN Hotel Rockville. I was delighted to find that both the lobby and the room were clean and modern. I really liked the glass sliding door to the bathroom. The bed and sheets were comfortable and the AC kept the room as cool as we needed it. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a good hotel in the area.

Ok, now I am doing something I seldom do - pen the review while still in the actual room. This is a rather newer property that is being WELL maintained. The exterior grounds are manicured well, plenty of exterior and working lights, ample parking, (there were 2 buses) during my stay. I saw at least 3 luggage push racks, and a welcome beverage (tea/coffee) station upon check-in. The front desk was pleasant, swift, and welcoming. The elevator is fast. The hallways are adorned with a vibrant carpeting and lighting. Once inside the rooms we were met with a bright and trendy décor. I most enjoyed the tiered window treatment, circular mirror, and nightlight in the latrine - nice touch. The shower area was neat, clean, and hot - after a long day spent driving and shopping! Speaking of shopping - the hotel is located in the REAR of the WOODMORE TOWN CENTER, and the Wegmans grocery store. (If you have never been - it's a must see) The metro station and Redskins stadium are in very close proximity too, It was rather quiet property outside of the daytime cleaning crew - sanitizing rooms, vacuuming, etc. The gym is decent. One only downside is the seating space in the lobby / breakfast area isn't really that plentiful. Daily from 0600-1000 are the posted times for breakfast. There was a nice fruit selection (blueberries, apples, oranges, and bananas), cold & hot cereal, eggs (two varying ways), and some other items. The room has a frig & microwave. We felt safe here as we walked about the property at varying times of the day or night. Would book here again and again if in the area.

Its a great place to spend your holidays with your family. The bonfire, indoor pool, accommodating staff and the room was nice. The room is big and feels your at home.
