Top Potomac West Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Arlington

10/10 Excellent

"Really great location. Good restaurants nearby. Close to Georgetown if you are visiting your students."

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

8/10 Good

"The bathroom should be renovated to match the nightly price. Overall great stay. We stay here every time we come to DC. A short walk from most places/restaurants. Very clean property and rooms. Not a fan of their valet. One mistake is enough for me. We use City DC parking, which is a short walk (7 min) away and $30/night."

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk attendant was very curious and helpful. The place was overall well maintained, open, and available. The only downfall was the cleaning agent did not pay attention to our room, and I had to call for fresh towels once. This however, may have been due to my partner and I still occupying the room when the cleaning agent was working on our floor, so I do not fault them if it was to be courteous to us clients."
