Ivy City Hotel

Considering the nightly rate, the place is very good for a short stay, especially close to the main attractions of Washington, D.C. Target is a 2-minute walk, which is an option to have some quick breakfast in case you need it. I loved the place with my family and kids. The property owner could take the suggestion of placing a quick lock inside the washroom area.

The room was ready at noon like they told us.

Room was dirty and reeked of cigarettes. Hair and debris in the bathroom/bath tub. Other people staying at the hotel were pretty loud at odd hours. Not a very comfortable stay.

I can't recommend this hotel unless you are out of other options. A friend and I stayed 3 nights in July 2026. For two of us over three nights, we had only two bath towels and two wash cloths - and they don't provide maid service during your stay. The hotel is in a very seedy, run-down part of town, and there were several sketchy characters hanging about. Some old guy in a wheelchair was sitting next to the ice machine every day, making it difficult to get to the machine. People were hanging out in the parking lot at all hours of the night, hollering at each other and playing loud music. The tub / shower is dangerous, as there was absolutely no non-slip material present, and I had to grip the grab bar in order to keep from slipping and injuring myself. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable that I have ever slept on. The mattress was hard and unyielding, causing me to wake up aching every day. The water was hot enough, but not great pressure. The A/C worked well. The microwave worked well, and the dorm-sized refrigerator worked well but we had to defrost the freezer compartment before use. The room was clean, but the property overall is run-down. The area is not really convenient to anything other than a gas station / convenience store and a liquor store. Do yourself a favor and seek better accommodations.

This is a motel. Room smelled musty, air conditioner sounded like a lawn mower. yet, the room was warm. The smell of cigarettes and marijuana was sucked in thru the air conditioner all night, as we found buds all over the pavement right outside of our windows/door. Even though the “hotel” made us sign the paper that it is a non- smoking establishment. We could not leave fast enough.

place is a dump

There’s blood splatter on the walls, I informed staff they didn’t seem to care.

It was a fine stay. We didn’t have any issues, it’s what you’d expect for a motel at this price point. :) Staff was really helpful and nice.

I would not consider this place a boutique hotel. Any time you are dealing with the reception staff through bulletproof glass leaves you with the feeling that you might be in a sketchy location.

The rooms clearly haven't been cleaned in a very long time. The floors were covered in hair, dust, and crumbs, and the bathroom floor was covered in layers of water stains in front of the sink as if its never been cleaned between customers. It felt incredibly unsanitary. Avoid this place at all costs.

Loved my Stay at this place! Friendly Staff..... FREE parking! Super Deluxe Room with everything Awesomely awesome! Just missing a bath mat because bath tub slippery and outlet in bathroom didn't work! The area is a bit Rough but no issues. Target around the corner if you forget something like me! 😀 Bus stop around the corner, but Taxi for 20 bucks to National Mall was perfect. Some long term residents, but they were nice. No pot smell which was a plus. Really liked this place and for the price would stay again.

The towels were clean

Couldn't stay they wouldn't accommodate me

Toilet had no water didn’t flush Door in the bathroom was stuck and broke hard to push.

Good stay uni

They need to remodel restrooms. It’s old broken and looks unclean

Decent place to stay if you are traveling on a budget. Beware though that the area is still gentrifying. The hotel is in a remote area of the city. You will end up paying for a shared ride to get to the attractions. If you want to take public transportation downtown be aware of your surroundings. There is a Target and Mom’s Organic a block away.

Parking lot was littered. Lot had motorized scooters laying all over.

Beds were comfortable. Very loud. Other guests were disruptive during the night.

Went well over all, saw a bug out side of the room but once I entered everything was legit. Came with a fridge and microwave.
