Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean, hotel in a convenient location right next to the metro and bus stops and the staff was super friendly. Small mixup getting a room when I arrived (at 2am), but the receptionist got it cleared up and I was very grateful. Great location, and good for solo travelers"

8/10 Good
"The location to the main areas of attraction and the metro was excellent. The desk staff and housekeepers were efficient, polite, and professional. We arrived early, but there was a room available, so we were able to settle in at that time. We booked a king bed without kitchen; we got a double queen with kitchen. That was fine with us. The room was a bit outdated but clean; the shower had some mold but not a deal breaker. The room was located near the front desk, elevator, and stairs, so it was a bit noisy at times, however, we were out most of the day. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant one night and the food was delicious. There aren’t many dine-in restaurants within a half mile walk of the hotel. Circa, near the Foggy Bottom metro, was excellent. We would stay the hotel again."
