YOTEL Washington DC

Clean, some of the staff was really nice. I love staying there because of how nice the facilities are!!! I wish they had free early check in or late check out if they have the rooms. I've never seen a hotel that charges for those. The rooms are always very nice and some of my favorite beds (I travel a lot). The beds are comfy and the housekeeping service is great. Love the little touches around the room. Great location by Capitol and Union station.

The staff were really friendly and accommodating. They recommended great restaurants and attractions to visit. The pool is AMAZING. Wasn’t too crowded. There was even a pool party that guest were free to attend and it was an unexpected fun time. Definitely would stay again and even try different YOTEL locations.

Our stay was great and a great value. Staff, from the cleaning people to concierge to everyone in between were wonderful. The proximity to the Capital and Mall and was excellent -- just a few blocks. The rooms were somewhat like the "businessman rooms" in Japan -- sleek but with everything we needed. The bed slept better than the one we have a home. All the touchscreens and mood lighting were futuristic touches I enjoyed playing with. Tip: if you want less street nois,e ask for a room facing the inside of the U-shaped building. Security was high -- you needed your room card to use the elevator. The hall coffee makers made great coffee. And the ice machine had a setting for ice and water in your cup.

Yotel is a bit of a weird hotel experience. Its location, first of all, is A+ for visiting DC , especially the Capitol--super for political business. For quick ins and out, good services, cabs--super. For a touristic visitor it's--well, a little trippy. Super modern, so much so one wonders why they tried so hard, forgetting that old-fashioned pleasures like comfy chairs are okay too, or a bathroom more set off, for privacy of one or another of the visitors. But it's forceful experience of super-modern is also very efficient--and most of the staff are downright nice, as well as efficient, which makes up for its sort of programmatic qualities. An interesting taste of the new, leaving a hunger for the old, perhaps.
