“It's fairly inexpensive for DC, and doable.”

Comfort Inn Downtown DC / Convention Center

Neptune Beach, FL
Nov 13, 2008

We stayed here mid week in November.

-Location - It's in a residential, safe area.
The Metro: The hotel is a 15 to 20 minute walk to either of the two Metro stations (Metro Center and McPherson Sq.). Both stations are on both the red and blue Metro lines. When you get to the Metro station you are almost half way to the main tourist area directly south.
-No stores or restaurants in the immediate hotel area.
-This is an old building which apparently was converted into a hotel. There is no 'Oh, wow!' factor here that you may get when you walk into an expensive hotel.
-You have to walk up about 8 stairs from the street to get to the lobby/registration desk.
-Beds were comfortable.
-Bathroom was an odd shape. No vent in the bathroom. Flushing the toilet was noisy.
-Complimentary breakfast is the usual cold selection plus make-your-own waffles.
-Late afternoon cookies.
-Computer with Internet is available for guest use in the foyer.
-Staff were nice.

Essentially, this is an adequate place to sleep, and is at least reasonably close to the tourist area.

-Parking cost an outrageous $27 / day. Another poster said there was a garage "across the street" that was $10 less. We didn't find that garage until we were leaving. It's on I Street, kitty corner across the intersection from the hotel.

-Cost: Our room with two beds was $107.99 + $15.66 tax = $123.65 per night,. Parking was $27 per day..
Total for room and parking: $ 150.65 per day.
Rooms are cheaper Friday and Saturday nights than mid week..

Great hotel for the price, and im very please with the service.

Three on us travelled on business and any concerns we raised were fixed IMMEDIATELY! My tv was fuzzy and my shower head was weak, i had a new showerhead and new tv installed within 20 minutes!

the breakfasts were very nice, much more than i expected!

Remember the price is lower simply because they dont have a kitchen or lounge.

The area its in is more than safe so no worries about wandering around at night.

“Good place”

A clean inexpensive place. Close to main tourist attractions in
downtown. No hotel parking though. You leave car to valet guy
and it takes some time to get it back. However, it was considerably
faster than 40 min they say it would take. No fridges in the room.
Overall, for the money paid, the value was great.
As in many other places like that the air conditioner was bit noisy.

We enjoyed our stay at the Comfort Inn. The location was great, staff was very helpful, room was quiet and comfortable, breakfast was good and enjoyed the cookies and coffee provided in the lobby. We were able to do our laundry on site. My husband and I were extremely happy with our accomodations and after spending hours walking around Washington D.C.; we grateful to have a comfortable room to return to in the evening.

“Stay Somewhere Else!!!!”

We stayed at the Comfort Inn for two nights in early June. When we arrived everything seemed fine but it soon changed. We had been in our room an hour or so when we had two other guests walked into our room. They had been given our room as well and had keys to get in. I called the front desk and all I got was a sorry. They didn’t seem to care and told me that guests had booked in advanced ours. We had also booked well in advance but that didn’t seem to matter and all we got was another sorry. When we left the hotel later that day and came back we found we couldn’t get into our room as they had deactivated our room key. This was fixed and the rest of the trip went without issue, but the whole first day left a bad experience in our minds.

The hotel is about a 25min walking to the white house and other attractions; if you can find somewhere cheaper closer to this area I would do so.
