Local Attractions:
The Washington Guest Suites is THE perfect all-suite hotel for overnight accommodations when you’re visiting Washington DC for its historic sites, monuments, museums and attractions. We’re a short stroll from the Smithsonian, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the National Mall, the White House and so much more. The Foggy Bottom Metro (subway), a convenient ½ block from the hotel, will whisk you away to all the exciting sights and attractions waiting for you in Washington DC and its surrounding areas.

Although the hotel was under renovation, we were warned ahead of time and knew what to expect. Very clean rooms although a little outdated. We weren't in the room the much anyway. We took the Metro right from the airport and walked 2 blocks to the hotel. We never had to rent a car the whole time we were in the city! Minutes from Lincoln Memorial and all the other sites. The only complaint is the coffee maker didn't work and we told the front desk about it on our way out for the day. Wasn't fixed or replaced when we returned so had to leave a note for that and some extra towels for the maid. We are not big breakfast eaters so the continental breakfast suited us just fine. Can't wait to go back and see what the hotel after renovations. « less

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and that our renovations had minimal impact on your stay experience.
I'm also happy to hear that you were easily able to walk to the hotel from the Foggy Bottom Metro station - just a hop, skip and jump away!
We are very excieted to reopen at the Residence Inn by Marriott in September of this year....you will be pleasantly surprised with our new look and feel! See you back soon!

It is difficult to rate this hotel. It was billed as a 3-star hotel, and based on that, it fell a little short. The room was neat, clean and the full kitchen was a benefit. The lobby and common areas, because of the renovation (which we didn't know about until we arrived), was in a little bit of chaos. There was unfinished sheetrock, exposed wire, plaster dust and holes in doors. There is no room service and the continental breakfast was just OK Although it was in the 80's when we were there, the pool was not open. I don't know if it will be open until the renovations are complete. If I had been told that this was a 2-star hotel, and paid a 2-star rate, it would have more that met expectations. Would I stay at Washington Guest Suites again? Not in it's current state and at the same price. When the renovations are complete I would be willing to try it again. I would just advise people to lower their expectations. It is a safe, clean place to sleep. There is nothing fancy about Washington Guest suites at this point. « less

My family of 4 stayed in the Washington Guest Suites for 3 nights in April 2013. The suite was clean and was a great size for the 4 of us. The bathroom was pretty small and we only had enough towels left daily for 2 people. We called the front desk each night and new towels were delivered promptly. We were happy to discover that the hotel was located within walking distance of the National Mall and also located a few blocks from a bus stop for the tour bus that we bought passes for. There are restaurants and a Whole Foods within walking distance as well. The breakfast bar consisted of bagels, juice, fruit, and coffee. We went toward the end of the breakfast period and there wasn't much left. It would be great to see a make you own waffle iron added as an option. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We would definintely stay here again. « less

Thank you for your great review! I'm very pleased that you and your family had a memorable stay with us. As I'm sure you noticed, we are currently undergoing a complete renovation to soon become a Residence Inn by Marriott hotel. The Residence Inn breakfast will be beyond par - with a "make your own" belgian waffle station with tons of toppings, as well as a full hot buffet breakfast! We are looking forward to your next stay and we are excited to welcome you to the Residence Inn by Marriott experience!

I have been using this hotel property for years when it was the Doubletree. It is convenient to all the key locations I need to visit in DC. The changeover is a welcomed addition but on a recent stay I truly believe there was a safety issue that was completely ignored even after multiple calls to the front desk. The tenth floor had no hallway lights. This cannot possible be safe. We were notified of the construction by the hotel one week before our trip and given the peak season in DC it was not possible to find another hotel. Some kind of discount or 'make good' should have been made for the conditions we had to withstand, especially the lack of lights.
I sent an email to the folks that advised us of the construction the week before but have not heard a word from them.
We look forward to the new hotel but more attention needs to be paid to loyal guests who were truly inconvenienced. « less
