Hotel berhampiran Alban Towers Apartments, Washington D.C.

The hotel is very central and easy to reach from the airport for an overnight stay. I’ve asked for a room with bathtub but there must have been a slight misunderstanding as I got a room with shower but very uniquely - a balcony to the foyer. Comfortable large room!

We usually stay at the one in Rosslyn, one Metro stop away. However, this time we wanted a two-bedroom suite and Rosslyn did not have availability. First, the rooms. This includes two bathrooms, so it could easily be shared by two couples. The living room is compact and includes a TV, as does each bedroom. The kitchen has everything except a toaster or an oven, so a toaster-oven would be great, but hazardous, I imagine. The dining room table is comfortable for 4-5 people. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom has a tub. The room was quiet. We have yet to try more of the common areas, such as pool, laundry and gym. Breakfast is standard with plenty of seating. The front desk staff is very helpful, with directions to the nearby pharmacy and food store. The area is very safe. We did not bring a car so cannot comment on the garage.

PROS: Stood here for the weekend with my partner. Aesthetically, the hotel is super artsy, fun, and pleasing to the eye. The decor and appearance screams chic, quirky, and metropolitan. From the lobby, adorned with all manners of interesting books, odd trinkets, and colorful sculptures, to the cute, cozy outdoor sitting space filled with pretty greenery, I could not stop raving about this hotel the entire trip. The style of the rooms could very much be described as a European “take” on the well-known Japanese “Pod” style hotels. The rooms were concise (not cramped) and had a sleek, modern, and minimalistic style of furniture (desk with chair, bench, vanity w/sink, bed-frame with built in storage space). Think “IKEA meets stylish, retro Japanese pod hotel”. If that makes sense. LOL. Plus everything in the room is controlled using an iPad which I think it pretty flipping cool. SMART TV in the room, as well, meaning unlimited access to YouTube, Netflix, or pretty much anything that can stream from your phone/device which is perfect after a long day exploring the city. (You can also change the color of the mood lighting in the room via the IPad which provided my boyfriend and I with hours of entertainment pretending we were post apocalyptic humans trapped in some green-tinted “Twilight Zone” style alien bunker) Also, if you prefer a hard mattress, you will find the hotel bed very comfortable. During our time here, we had easy access to a LOT of good food. There’s 2 restaurants inside the hotel as well as a really great Middle Eastern restaurant directly across the street. (I approve of their falafel and roasted sweet potatoes. Very good). There are so many cultural and ethnic restaurants in the immediate area for those who are adventurous eaters. There’s even a pretty nice Trader Joe’s around 4 blocks away for stocking the hotel room with healthy snacks and beverages (a must). Plus Union Market is pretty close to the hotel. I wouldn’t miss it if I were you. Big hall with lots of food vendors and even a little shopping. Even if you aren’t looking to eat and just want to kill a little time, it’s still interesting to walk around and see the cool and unique foods they sell. Soak up the little local color. Overall, it was a totally unique and memorable hotel experience that was totally worth the cost. Well done. LF

酒店位置雖然已經出了華盛頓DC在馬里蘭州了，但是就在地鐵紅線Bethesde上蓋出了地鐵就到，去華盛頓市中心一部地鐵約半小時可達，交通十分便捷。從華盛頓羅納德里根機場也衹要換成一次地鐵就能到達。 酒店蠻大的，房間比較寬敞，設施也算蠻新的不太舊，周圍幾百米內餐廳、超市等也不少。 目前酒店早餐衹能選酒店一樓一角的星巴克，給餐券自選，三明治、小麪包、飲料各選一樣。酒店一樓還有莫爾頓牛排，還有其他餐廳外賣單子可以拿取叫外賣。

The hotel is good, with nice location, and nice service. The only problem we met was the sink. All water coming from the sink hose is hot water, there was no cold water.

The room was very clean and the young lady at the front desk was very friendly. Breakfast was not the best, but for a continental breakfast, it was alright. It did its purpose and held us well until lunch time. The location was good. We were there for a graduation at Howard and the hotel was about 20 minutes from the University

The hotel does NOT have a spa or pool so that needs to be corrected. The hotel does have excellent accommodations! The AKB bar is fantastic and has a hh. Breakfast is great. The fresh made muffins are yummy! Ty in the bar is a gem! She created a martini for the cherry blossom season, and it was fabulous! Everyone is nice and willing to be as helpful as you need. Umbrellas for loan were a great plus as it was raining. The Mosaic District has great shops and restaurants. There's a Target a minute walk away! If you are going to DC, skip those old hotels and stay here for better price and accommodations. Its a 15 min walk to the metro or uber is at the ready. I definitely recommend and hope I get to come back! Slippers and Robes were also a nice extra!

Wow, a hotel that I've stayed at so many times over the years, has now gone to the dogs. I actually feel bad writing this review, but my hope is that someone at Hilton will read this and take action. I will keep this short. 1. bathroom toilet filled up with water and poop from the previous guest. Still in the toilet! (unbelievable-I took pictures). Had to have Maintanence come and plunge the toilet. The Maintanence guy did apologize for the ”mess!” 2. No toilet tissue. (were they not planning to rent the room out?) 3. Defective thermostat not working. Room freezing and AC will not turn off. (Maintanence came back and had to fix the problem at the HVAC unit itself. 4. No bath towels. Only small wash cloths. After calling the front desk, housekeeping brought towels and toilet tissue. 5. Overall unclean, dusty and worn out room. There was trash in one of the cans I guess from a previous guest. I didn't complain. I was just tired and vowed never to return again. And yes, I too am a Lifetime Diamond member. So sad.

I looked at all the BWI airport hotels carefully before booking, and decided that the Westin was probably the best. Now having stayed there I'm pretty sure I was right. The place is clean and modern, with a spacious lobby and updated design in the rooms. The blackout curtains are some of the best I've ever seen: I woke up at 8:30am convinced it was still the middle of the night. The bathroom has a great shower, was clean and fully stocked with towels. Really everything I could have asked for.
