Independent Downtown Washington D.C. hotels

"I love the area around the hotel, beautiful historical buildings, safe area tp walk"

"The wait line to check in on a Sunday night was 20 minutes long. For a hotel of this caliber, I expected more. Location of the hotel was excellent and the room was clean and well stocked."

"This was my first trip to Washington, DC, and the team at Motto Hotel made me feel right at home from the moment I walked through the doors. Ranee and Bernadette at the front desk were incredibly welcoming and helpful during check-in, even recommending some fantastic local restaurants that made my stay extra special. I felt safe throughout my time there, and I loved the cozy, thoughtfully designed rooms. The housekeeping staff were all hardworking, accommodating women who went above and beyond to meet my needs. Well done, Motto Hotel! Thank you for a memorable experience."

"Great hotel!! Loved everything about it"

"Upgraded for free!!! Completely unexpected. Loved the property "

"Wonderful location, staff and stay. Pleasantly surprised, we had a family vacation with our 11 year old son. Hotel was wonderful in amenities, location is very convenient and staff go beyond their duties to make you feel welcomed. Everyone is extremely nice and helpful. Rooms are comfy and clean."

"The hotel was a well-kept century-old property. Very clean. Good location. The only possible concern is the size of the shower. I was glad I’m not a large person—it would have felt cramped. Cafe had delicious breakfasts. "

"I liked the spaciousness of the room, the great lap pool, the evening get-together, the great breakfasts, and the convenience of walking to my conference."

"The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room and facilities were nice. The only minor issue during my stay was the noise from the street level. There was some kind of demonstration and/or fight in the park across the street that went to the late evening and early hours of the next morning, which kept me awake for a while."
