Washington hotels near Aaron and Cecile Goldman Theater

Cons: ARE YOU KIDDING!!!...this place is like staying in an episode of the TV reality program "THE HOARDERS" it is stuffed to the brim with knick knacks, old record albums, & just plain junk disguised as a museum of memorabilia...there is barely any place to put your belongs, no staff around to help you, you are given a telephone# of the mgr which is always busy, the temperature controls are in the common rooms not in the guest rooms, so you freeze in the cold weather and sweat in the warm...I ask to have my room clean to someone who looked like they worked there and when I returned my bed was made up with wrinkles and the bathroom not cleaned or anything else..you would be crazy to stay here unless you were writing an expose...

Pros: I booked a night for my husband's birthday because he loves adventurous things. The owners are very friendly and inviting. The place is so outrageously decorated, everything is interesting. The whole place was basically ours to explore after the normal operating hours. I highly recommend booking a room and exploring after the tourists have left. It's close to all sorts of amazing museums and restaurants. You can take a quick walk to the metro if you need to go anywhere else in the area. It was like staying at your rich eccentric friend's house. We really felt like we were at home, but with adventure added. Definitely want to stay again.

Cons: Wasn't enough time to see everything we wanted to and some sections were off limits for staff only so we didn't find all the secret doors we think we could have, but there's no way to know for sure. Still loved the place.

Pros: Everything from the location, staff, and building were fantastic. Will definitely be staying here again

Cons: Nothing. Everything was amazing

Pros: The hotel is in the center of Dupont Circle, close to metro, walking and so on. The street is residential. Garbage trucks, which are not their fault, are busy in the middle of the night. it is definitely an eccentric stay. You have quite a bit of privacy. Security, I am not so sure about

Cons: We couldn’t find staff, and had difficulties getting questions answered. We gave up. The maid service is sketchy. Those people were did meet were nice. Not necessarily informed of what is around the hotel, or locations. the stairs are narrow, and on the outside, slick. the maintenance on these wonderful row houses is very sketchy. If you have any trouble navigating stairs, or uneven floors, or sidewalks with heave, this is not a place for you!

Pros: Funky place. For non-business travel if you don’t mind being inconvenienced by little details could be fun unusual experience. However, for business travel it is awful. Hard to get in and out of building at odd hours. No easy way to check in or out. Hard to find your way around the labyrinth (it is like the Winchester Mystery House owned by an orderly hoarder). No mirror in the room or easy to use mirror in the bathroom. Almost impossible to stand in front of sink so tight. Hot water takes forever to come. Need to climb 5 stairs to get to shower stall. Door to room does not lock. No place to hang clothes. No room refrigerator. So many pillows on the bed took five minutes to clear it...

Pros: Staff was great

Pros: Very eclectic place with a warm and inviting vibe - greatly enjoyed the brief time I had to explore the place. I definitely want to return with friends and spend some leisure time getting to know the place.

Pros: Had no eggs but slept like a baby.

Cons: That I was not staying longer.

Pros: We were lucky and stayed in the Rosa Parks House across the street. We had the Versailles room on the top floor.

Cons: The rooms in the Mansion are incredibly cluttered, with visitors to the museum tromping thru all day. For the exorbitant price, coffee should have been provided.

Pros: Great central location, very clean rooms and comfy beds.

Cons: The room was quite small and the bathroom with sliding glass door was very close to the bed.But for the great price I didn't find this a problem. My travel companion felt a bit claustrophobic though.

Pros: Novel idea - everything you need, nothing you don’t. Was impressed by cleanliness and small room design & layout.

Pros: This location is great if you want to be close to restaurants and shopping. The restaurant downstairs (southern food) was excellent very clean and good food. Staff in the hotel were great very helpful and friendly. Bed was comfy.

Cons: There is no onsite Parking. They offer a lot close by which is 5-10 min walk from the hotel. So if you do arrive to the hotel drop off your bags there check in then park your car. The parking price was $25 a day an you could go in an out of the lot which was good. BUT be AWARE you need to reserve a parking spot for that lot through the hotel (website)in order to enter the parking lot its all done by scanning your QRcode.The room we stayed in was TINY. The ac unit was so big and loud it randomly would switch to heating in the middle of the night so that would wake us. The room was so small that my wife who is laying on the bed could reach over an grab my hand while i was in the toilet. The bathroom door was not an actual door it was a sliding door so you could only imagine if your doing you necessities next to the person. The bedding was strange there was a duvet with not cover it was two regular bedsheets in between.

Pros: Very clean compact room. Staff very friendly. Convenient to all the major sites in Washington.

Cons: Area Around Pod was a little run down. A lot of people hanging around

Pros: We were expecting a pod room with basic facilities but were pleasantly surprised when we arrived! The place is clean, fresh, really welcoming and a cool base for exploring Washington! Whilst some might consider the room smaller than normal, it was perfect for us and our luggage and the bed was comfy! The staff were helpful and friendly and the diner downstairs served amazing southern food!

Pros: I didn't eat breakfast at the POD but I had dinner two nights and it was great!

Cons: Room was a little small but OK for just me.

Pros: The staff was accommodating. We arrived early and they were happy to keep our bags. The hotel was very clean and maintained. Very good for the price

Cons: The area was not the best, however it is much cheaper than other hotels close to the center. Breakfast not included

Pros: Cleanliness and location.

Cons: Room a little on the smaller size.

Pros: The staff was very helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is rather central with an easy access to everything one might need.

Cons: It is rather noisy. My windows were facing the busy road, so one can hear sounds coming from cars, garbage trucks, and street musicians on a regular basis.

Pros: Nice clean modern rooms

Cons: I had a room on the corner so heard s little of outside noise, not enough to disturb me though

Pros: The room is like staying with a friend and sleeping in their spare bedroom. The bed was super comfortable, bathroom was a perfect match to the size of the room. The roof top bar is a great place to catch views of the city day or night. The Crimson was a place to grab a quick bite to eat regardless of what meal it was.

Cons: The shower curtain gets a little friendly if you like your showers hot. Leaving the curtain open a few inches helped at the cost of having a damp floor mat.

Pros: Great location, just off the metro. The staff were amazing and super helpful; because there were available rooms, they even let us check in early when we arrived at 11am! The check out process was a breeze. The room is exactly as pictured. There are water machines on various floors which was super handy.

Cons: Unfortunately the TV at the top bunk was broken; just a slight inconvenience.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Not cheap enough.

Pros: We liked absolutely everything! Our kids loved swimming pool and it was absolutely enjoyable area around swiiming pool. We didn't take breakfast - for 5 people it was quite costly (though I have no doubts that it would be good and enjoyble too), but there are plenty of cafes with 4-7 minutes walking distance around.

Cons: We have nothing to complain about!

Pros: staff was super friendly and helpful. location is great.

Cons: i woke up each day with significant pain in my back and legs and i don't get that. It was weird because I was not uncomfortable.

Pros: Great staff, roomy, clean, beautiful pool, tasty breakfast, nice water pressure in sinks and shower, effective A/C, excellent value! If there were a "very good" category between good and excellent, I would check it

Cons: My room smelled of--I'm not sure, something chemical and vaguely floral. Air freshener? Cleaning solution? It improved a little when I ran the AC a while, but it never went away. Honestly if it weren't for that I would have given this hotel an excellent. It was a small thing but very unpleasant for me. To be fair, I'm more sensitive to scents than most people. It would have been lovely to have a microwave in the room, and there was room for it, but that would be an extra, not expected. My dad complained about the coffee in his room being bitter, but he likes to complain!

Pros: facility was very good rather than good or excellent

Cons: breakfast included

Pros: This hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the White House. There are a lot of good restaurants within walking distance. The pool and bar were great if you are tired and don’t want to go anywhere else.The breakfast buffet was excellent.

Pros: The property and its location.

Pros: A good business traveller hotel, with helpful concierge.

Cons: NIL

Pros: Location, Location, Location

Cons: None

Pros: Staff was great and our group really loved the location

Pros: Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were given a room on the top floor which we liked very much!

Cons: About a block or so around the hotel there were a lot of homeless on the corners which made it a challenge for me and my wife to walk to nearby places.

Pros: Had the Capitol view which was excellent, amenities were all there even free Wi-Fi. Enjoyed the happy hour and it was handy having a small shop for snacks and basic extras, I used it. It was only a less than 10 walk from Union station which is also the starting point for a number of tours. Found it was a 10 minute walk to the Capitol too. Will recommend this property

Cons: Found like most hotels in the US no tea making facilities. Although by accident found tea bags opposite the lobby elevators which was a good find.

Pros: Everything was very nice we might have been a little to loud but they where very nice about it ....never told us to quiet down or they would put us out like most hotels do they where very understanding

Cons: They stop selling food kinda early for it to be a weekend not a big deal even then the place was amazing I will def be back

Pros: Great views to the Capitol and short walking distance from Union Square train station. Just perfect for a long weekend trip to see all the Museums and government buildings on the National Mall. Spacious room, very comfortable bed and pillows, very clean room altogether. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Cons: Everything was very nice.

Pros: The hotel hall welcomes you with the best design. Our room was spacious and clean with a comfortable king bed. Since we arrived to Union Station, we were able to just walk to the hotel, the location is perfect!

Cons: The A/C was too much, in the night I was cold so I had to turn it off

Pros: It is located in a very prime place.

Cons: Excellent

Pros: Location, location, location!

Pros: Location is wonderful

Pros: The location was OK and close to Union Station

Cons: I do not think that this met the hotel status of a 4 star hotel. I've stayed at lots of hotels across the nation and this was more of a 3 star hotel at best. The bathroom was run down, the closet doors were falling apart and missing the handles, etc.

Pros: Dinner was great and the staff was very helpful.

Pros: The hotel was absolutely beautiful, very convenient location to all of the sites

Cons: Everything was exceptionally amazing

Cons: It should have let you know that you have to pay to park at the cost of 66.00 a day

Pros: Front lobby was nice. Food at the restaurant was good. A good location. Within walking distance to the capital building and other historical sites.

Cons: TV did not work the first night and techition could not fix untill the next day. AC was not working correctly. Even with temperature set to 64 it still felt like mid 70's and was constantly running loud. On Google it said free parking, but they still charged $62 per day which increases the overall cost dramatically. d

Pros: The rooms were very quiet, and the beds were comfortable. The location was great! It is very near the Capital and the National Mall. It was within walking distance to Union Station which was where we arrived after a flight to Baltimore and a 35 minute train ride to DC. The front desk staff was very helpful by giving directions and restaurant recommendations.

Pros: Location excellent for Union Station and the Capitol Building and National Mall. Great bar and bar staff.

Cons: Noisy room A/C which couldn't be switched fully off. Food, particularly breakfast, seemed very expensive compared to UK, tended to eat out.

Pros: Very close to the State Capitol and close to our bus tour meeting location.

Cons: Only valet parking was available. And at 65.00, ridiculous. Alternative parking was on the street until 7am and the worry of being towed.

Pros: Location was great

Cons: The pool is too small, and the parking is very expensive

Pros: I didn't take advantage of the free breaklfast

Pros: Article One Restaurant was excellent, had 2 dinners there and food was perfectly prepared

Cons: There was a large group waiting in line to use elevator and long wait.

Pros: I have stayed at this hotel previously and returned for the same reason LOCATION, easy to walk or Metro everywhere. The rooms are clean although slightly dated. The staff is amazing. Shout out to the waiters in the restaurant, so professional and nice.

Cons: Computers and printer in the lobby never work.

Pros: It was situated at a great location for what we wanted to do. Very easy to get too and travel to locations near by.

Cons: The fact that the garage was not part of the hotel and the prices were outrageous since we were staying in the hotel, therefore we had to look for parking around the area.
