My wife treated me to a birthday staycation this weekend, and I am so glad she did! I've visited…read morePendry before for a Yelp event at the pool, but staying here was a completely different experience--and it was absolutely top-tier. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was impeccable. All I wanted for my birthday was a relaxing weekend, and Pendry delivered exactly that. My wife knew how much I needed some time to unwind, and with the help of the amazing staff, this birthday was everything I hoped it would be. Our suite was stunning. The photos truly don't do it justice! We had a beautiful view overlooking the pool, and the room felt more like a luxury apartment than a hotel room (minus the stove ). Everything was spotless, the bedroom was spacious, and the shower was hands-down one of my favorite parts of the entire stay. A special thank you to Jarae and the staff for the thoughtful birthday card and delicious dessert. Those little touches made my celebration feel even more special. While you're there, be sure to check out Bar Pendry, Moonraker, and the spa. And don't leave without picking up one of their soaps, candles, or body washes--you'll definitely want to take that signature Pendry scent home with you! Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations in every way. Between the beautiful accommodations, outstanding service, and thoughtful birthday surprises, Pendry earned a 1000/10 from me. I can't wait to return!

It's just okay. I usually stay at Conrad or Intercontinental. Decided to use my Amex FHR benefits…read morehere and I am glad I got the credit because it's not worth full price. I thought it was luxury but it's not. It reminds me of Thompson brand actually just modern boutique with upscale touches but lacks attention to detail. Love their pool deck. Everything else is just okay. Bed was comfortable though and staff were friendly and tried to be serviceable. Like the accent lighting in room. Tiny rooms tiny bathroom with only 1 sink. Toilet closet is also small and claustrophobic. Wallpaper in hallways by elevator coming apart. When we got to our room there was bug crawling on our ceiling above the bed; took a while for cleaning ladies to come get it and they screamed and giggled as they tried to kill it. There was also one stuck on ceiling looked like a dead crushed gnat she tried for 3 seconds to get it off with her rolling tool and couldn't and left it there. Floor had crumbs and walls had food and makeup stains. Just not luxurious at all. I also do not recommend from a FHR standpoint. We were unable to get in our room early as the advertised noon checkin. I even asked if anything other than our upgraded room was available to get in room sooner and was told no. We arrived at 130 and didn't get in until 345ish. Before getting our room keys in addition to the original 200.00 incidental charge at check in, they charged my card for incidentals multiple times while we waited for the room to be ready and no one could explain why. I asked for manager and he immediately reversed the additional over 400.00 in overages. My card was charged again after that for something else so please watch your cards if staying here. Included with Amex FHR program, you do get 70.00 towards breakfast and a 100.00 credit and I hope there is no confusion at check out. It seems there may be so I am skeptical to use it. More charges hit my card after speaking with manager over 800 in automatic system security deposit charges no one can explain. Unacceptable. Also bathrooms on first floor at night were disgusting not clean at all poop in toilets tissue all over stall floors and ceiling was leaking had a bucket of water in middle of bathroom by sinks.

CitizenM Hotel -- A Study in Efficiency Over Comfort…read more I recently stayed at the citizenM Washington DC Capitol while attending meetings on Capitol Hill. The booking came together on short notice, and to their credit, availability--and a seamless check-in--were the hotel's strongest attributes. Beyond that, the experience becomes far more constrained. To call the room "small" doesn't quite capture it. It's compact to the point of novelty. Standing inside, I could reach both walls without effort. The layout is essentially a narrow corridor leading to a bed pressed against a full-wall window. The shower and toilet are enclosed in a tight glass pod adjacent to a minimal desk space. Functional? Yes. Comfortable? That's another question entirely. For travelers accustomed to even modest breathing room, the experience may feel more like a well-designed capsule than a traditional hotel stay. At one point, I couldn't help but think my walk-in closet at home offered more usable space--and that's not hyperbole. Practical amenities were also lacking. Notably absent: an iron or ironing board--an oversight for a hotel catering to business travelers who may need to present themselves professionally on short notice. Breakfast, offered buffet-style at $19.95, was a bright spot. The spread included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes, along with solid café-style coffee options--espresso and lattes included. It's a respectable start to the day, even if it doesn't fully offset the limitations of the room itself. In the end, CitizenM delivers on availability and efficiency, but at the cost of comfort and space. It serves its purpose when options are limited--but it's not a place I would choose to return to unless necessity dictates.

This smaller boutique-esque hotel is a nice alternative from the larger nearby Marriott properties…read more This hotel is a very close walk from the NoMa-Gallaudet U metro station either on N or M streets. There is also a Harris Teeter grocery store, CVS drug store, and a few coffee shops nearby. The lobby and hallway decor is quite eclectic and fun. It reminds me of if a major airline chain that uses red/white in their scheme made a hotel. The rooms are on the small side but was enough for a short stay. If I was going to be here for an extended trip or had more than two people in the room, it would have been a bit uncomfortable for space. The room had all of the necessary features and amenities. The lights and blinds and tv were controlled by both physical switches on the walls but also by an iPad courtesy of the hotel. The tv however did not turn on or off with the iPad. There were also no washcloths in the room, only two hand and bath towels. The bed was squeezed in the corner which was kind of fun but I could see how this would make it an awkward in/out situation if the person on the inside had to get up in the middle of the night. The platform that the bed was on had a drawer underneath the bed and a broken panel that could have used some repair. The morning breakfast was included and had a nice layout and options for various palettes. I love the free sparking water option! This was a fun option and I would stay here again.

We stayed here over NYE this year and I can't speak highly enough about it! I was so pleased with…read morehow clean everything was, from our room, to the lobby to the communal showers as well. The staff was exceptionally friendly and it seemed very apparent everyone liked working there, which speaks to the hostel itself in my opinion. My boyfriend and I opted to stay in a bunk bed room and I only have 2 recommendations - 1. Be prepared to to have a tablet or laptop if you like falling asleep to TV bc there are none in the rooms. 2. Bring an air freshener - the toilet is right there in close quarters with you (if ya get my drift!) My only complaint is that the room got super hot at night, so it's a good idea to have a bottle of water in your room in case you're like me and get super thirsty from being to hot. To be fair, I was sleeping in the top bunk so I'm sure the hot air rose to my detriment. There's a little cafe in the lobby with coffee, empanadas and seating with some fun board games. So if you're looking for somewhere to stay on a budget, this place was perfect for us. I felt safe in the hostel itself and in the neighborhood as well. Not to mention the hostel is less than a block away from the metro station which was SO useful. One last thing that was so nice - even after you check out, you're welcome to leave your luggage in the lobby until your flight/train/Uber picks you up so your not just dragging bags around town while you kill some time. All in all, great experience!

This was several strands. Good thing I had a paxk of Clorox to-go wipes. I think this place is good for one or two nights. The price was also decent for the area. I think. The best western was the only other one in the area with a decent price. Oh, and the Days Inn was good on price, but their rooms are so in need of an update. I'd go back again, I'd just make sure I bring my Clorox wipes again
