Top Shaw Hotel Reviews

Glover Park Hotel Georgetown

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous amenities! The gym, restaurant and bar are top notch. The beds are very comfortable and the location is walking access to Georgetown."

Holiday Inn Express Washington DC Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! Parking was expensive but we did our research ahead of time and knew what to expect. Parking in any city is always costly. We were accommodated with an early check in so we could make it to an event at Capital One arena, which saved us from having to pay to park at the arena and again at the hotel, which was amazing. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. The room was immaculate and comfortable. There was a huge selection for breakfast and the 24 hour coffee/tea was a nice touch. A truly wonderful stay in a safe area of the city within walking distance to great restaurants, the arena and a grocery store. Retrieving our car from the valet was easy and fast. Would highly recommend!"
