Washington Franklin Square Hotels

"Nice stay, but if you have a connecting room, it is loud! "

"I was unsure as to what to expect, I saw the excellent rating however hotels near a convention center are often not well maintained due to the amount of traffic and overuse. Overall impression A charming, boutique stay that leans heavily into history and atmosphere but with a few trade-offs you should know before booking. Historic character with real presence I spent October of 2025 traveling through England in cottages, small quaint hotels and many were similar but without modern amenities and no elevator. This isn’t a “themed” hotel it is authentic. Built from 19th-century townhouses, you feel the architecture the moment you walk in. Think brick, woodwork, and a peaceful courtyard that feels removed from DC’s pace. Service tends to be warm and personal. Staff are often described as attentive and helpful without being intrusive—very boutique-style hospitality."

"hot water came on quickly"

"Great location - smack in the center "

"Breakfast was not good at all. They have better restaurants near by. Got there late and just wanted to get checked in, front desk staff talked sooooo much it took forever besides that the staff was nice and so was the hotel "

"Repeat stat"

"Staff were courteous and helpful, location was great, quiet and clean."

"It was a decent place to stay in Washington DC. Fairly clean and reasonably priced compared to other hotels. The property is showing some wear and age."

"Excellent boutique hotel with a great vibe. Great location making it easy to walk to most of the places we visited. Great restaurant choices nearby. The room was very nice with a turntable and records available."
