Washington hotels in Shaw

Pros: The staff were very friendly and informative. Our room was very comfortable, and the breakfast was great. The building was located in a convenient location part of DC near Howard University, and we felt safe where we stayed. Our cars were in a parking area that was lit up at night, and is a short walking distance.

Pros: Everything about the hotel was good.

Cons: Parking arrangements were difficult to figure out and extremely expensive

Pros: Room was large and comfortable. Close to good restaurants and walking distance to everything.

Pros: Clean. Nice. Comfy beds. Spacious rooms. Great location. Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: Parking!!!!! Add $30 a day to your room rate. That should have been noted when booking! Breakfast was implied through advertising but was not included. Pool is small, fine for business travelers but not really for kids.

Pros: The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Even though the hotel was fully booked during my stay, I was always able to ask the staff for assistance.

Cons: I was on the 8th floor and the water in the sink and tub were a bit too hot. If the water flow is turned on too high, the water doesn't drain right away for both the sink and tub.

Pros: The style of the room. How the bedroom was separate from the living room.

Cons: I didn't like the walk-in shower. Because there was no door to the shower the floor stayed wet.

Pros: The staff were really friendly and helpful and texted before and while I was there to check on me.

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: Amazing, well designed room. Comfy bed. Mini fridge and microwave.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location was great for us. Room was spacious and very quiet - no hallway or elevator noise (and we were by the elevator). We also enjoyed the rooftop area.

Cons: The negative, and it is small, is that it would have been nice to have breakfast included in the price. We did order an omelet from the buffet and everything was good; just a little pricey.

Pros: We didn’t feel like we had to tip toe around staff/people. We had a good time with no complaints.

Cons: The parking wasn’t free for guests.

Pros: Spacious rooms

Pros: The rooms are modern and spacious.Like the art deco vibe i get when im there

Cons: The Cambria is a great place for me to stay at on Business trips. Convenient to everything in a very hot location of DC

Pros: So much room (a suite) for such a great price. And the gym was much better than what you typically see in a hotel. Overall, I was very impressed and this hotel will be my go-to hotel whenever I am in DC.

Pros: price point

Cons: The room was dark. There were two night stands but only one lamp. The mattress was lumpy. The bathroom had black mold. Only two of the three lights above the bathroom sink worked. White towels were grey. No soap dish so the soap slipped and created slime.

Cons: Tiny tiny room. Good location.

Pros: The location was between two of the locations I was visiting.

Cons: There is no parking. After driving around for 45 minutes, I had to pull into a tow away zone to check in. Offered private parking was far way, extremely expensive, and limited options to come and go.

Pros: Location, great neighborhood

Cons: One of the night staff was a bit grumpy, the rest quite firendly

Pros: Location, clean

Pros: The staff was great, they have bikes to lend.

Cons: One of the cabinets was broken.

Pros: The hotel has character and is very well situated for transportation.

Cons: Lack of parking, even to register, was disappointing.

Pros: What a great place to stay! Close enough to historic sites to walk, easy access to wonderful restaurants, necessary shopping, comfortable bed, and GREAT hosts! Dwight was so warm and friendly, willing to accommodate our requests and fun to talk to! We'd stay there again. We had access to kitchen facilities including a refrigerator (but the ice maker wasn't working), dishes, glassware/mugs & fresh coffee all the time.

Cons: Our room was next to a service room and we heard a lot of bumping at all hours....not awful, but noticeable. There were little things, like the toilet paper holder was hanging by a thread; but it didn't matter that much, in the scheme of things. Wonderful, updated historic building in a very walkable neighborhood of historic homes, businesses, and international embassies!

Pros: location

Cons: n/a

Pros: Location

Cons: The water coming from the sink and shower smelled like a sewer and we had to use bottled water.

Pros: Friendly staff, clean, quiet and comfortable

Cons: Small room and minor maintenance issues

Cons: Cleanliness

Pros: Price

Cons: The facility give you the impression that it is a homeless shelter

Pros: They do not serve breakfast unless you consider an open carton of one-ounce bags of potato chips and Doritos to qualify as breakfast. I liked the location, close to the Convention Center where I attended a six-day conference. There is a kitchen that is decent, except for the guy who slept there at night sitting in a chair, slumped over the kitchen table. The manager seemed like he was trying to do a conscientious job and was solicitous of guest concerns and requests, but there was only so much he could accomplish in such a dump.

Cons: Where to start? The only word for this place is HORRIBLE. I was in a four-bed room; it consisted to two bunk beds, one chair, and one small chest of drawers. There was only enough floor space for one person to open his suitcase or backpack at a time. There was no waste basket so the other guests threw their trash on the floor. The waste baskets in the kitchen and all-genders lavatory & showers were overflowing most of the time. The staff showed an indifferent attitude toward emptying them. The bedroom rarely if ever received a cleaning because with the luggage in there, the floor was covered almost completely. In the mornings, guests qued up to use the two toilets, two sinks, and two showers, one of which had a door for privacy. One downside of mixing men and women in the same washroom is that if they are putting on their makeup, fuggedaboudit if you want to use the sink. Sorry if that is sexist, but that's what happened. Some of the recent construction showed a distinctly amateur touch. The faucet set in one sink was quite loose. The undersized "handicapped" toilet stall that lacked support bars had a door that was jerry-rigged with non-standard surface-mounted hinges; the result is that it does not stay closed even with the lock in locking position. The new shower door is connected to a partial-height wall that is sheetrocked in the wrong grade of gypsum board—the ordinary *gray board.* Instead, it should be the moisture-resistant *green board* which they should have painted with epoxy paint immediately. Instead, it was already being affected by the humidity from the shower. . . . I could go on, but that is probably enough to paint the picture.

Cons: My room had a light with photocell which used to turn on every time someone was walking through the room during the night. If the hostel wants to improve, it should change immediately that kind of illumination system in every room!

Pros: I liked that it has running water and a tv in the room. The owner was friendly. He was considerate.

Cons: I didn't like the fact that it charges $80 for one night and you don't even get your own room. I had for different beds in my room and the room was small. The bathroom was a boys shower room with only one show and one toilet. There is nobody to take your bags for you and nobody even cleaned my room or got my bed ready for me before sending me to my room. I walked in and the bed was dirty. The vending machine is all out of snacks and drinks, who knows when the last time they refilled them. It would be a great place for cockroaches.

Pros: The WiFi works and Ataga connected

Cons: They need to hire pest control. First night, I walked into my room and a mouse skittered across the floor. So I walked out and sat down. 2 more ran through the hallway. The kitchen needs more utensils. I had to bring a plastic spoon. The room gets too hot at night. There’s a nightclub next door that keeps you up. The sheets and towels need replaced. They look stained and worn out.

Pros: The WiFi stayed connected and worked. It did have a shower, it also had a bunk bed and sort of had a kitchen.

Cons: Where to start? The place smells rank, there was mice in the room I’d booked, the kitchen in the new wing looks nice, but built horribly. Also, the kitchen lacks many basic essentials to make it a functional kitchen. I had to bring a plastic spoon with me. In the old wing, there’s a club next door, so it makes it very hard to sleep when you can hear bass music half the night. The rooms are also incredibly hot and no windows. The bathroom is gender shared, which is ok..... But, the stalls have a massive slit through them. Half the sheets had marks and stains on them.

Pros: The staff were friendly. It was a safe place. It was warm and dry. Shampoo and soap were provided, but I am not sure by whom, another person leaving, or the hostel ?

Cons: The floors in the room were dirty. The ventilation system in the rooms could be improved. The lavatory in the bathroom had a broken door. The sinks in the bathroom were not regularly cleaned.

Pros: Staff were friendly & great location

Cons: Bed was not comfy at all, noisy other people staying and no hot water in the showers during our whole stay.
