Washington Upshur Pool Hotels

"Literally home away from home! This hostel/hotel is made up of three converted walk-ups. There are hostel-style rooms with multiple beds, and there are hotel-style rooms with bed and full bathroom. The room I stayed in had a very tall window that could be opened. Logistically speaking: there is a Safeway within a few blocks that’s open late. If you prefer Trader Joe’s, that’s an easy walk in the other direction. Two large refrigerator/freezers will accommodate your groceries, which you label with your name and check out date. There is a vending machine with lots of snacks. Full kitchen with pots and pans, plates, etc., dishwashers, toaster, and microwaves. Free coffee that never runs out, huge assortment of teas. Cozy seating area in kitchen around half-circle windows. A homey living room with big windows provides workspace, a comfortable couch, and a large table for playing cards and games. Bus stops on both sides of the street for whichever direction you’re going. Now the good stuff: beautiful old neighborhood with tree-lined streets. Walk out the door and head down to Kalorama park. Keep walking under canopies of trees and you will be at Rock Creek Park, a meandering pathway that makes you think you’re in a forest. The hotel and neighborhood were so splendid I honestly would have preferred to just “stay home”. The management was putting in loads of fresh flowers in the planters, and the staff absolutely could not have been nicer or more considerate! "

"Outstanding staff "

"Staff was amazing and helpful."

"Excellent place to stay in DC. I always stay here when I’m in town. Reasonable price. Close to everything. My room was clean, quiet and comfy. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only problem was that there was no microwave. In/out parking is convenient but not free. It’s $43(?) per day. I highly recommend it!"

"Yes"

"The breakfast was very good but the prices are not consistent. One day we paid $5 for ice cream after dinner and the next it was $7 very misleading. Same with glass of steamed milk it was more then my cappuccino. "
