Reviews
Not to mention all over your website says “complimentary WiFi” but then you ask what the fees are for and they state “the WiFi” as far as I’m concerned that’s false advertising. Not to mention the in and out fee at the garage says 60 dollars, I just got charged $120. The desk did not confirm pricing when signing me up for this. I would have denied it as the sign on the garage said $60.
This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at, very disappointed for the area.
There’s plenty of other Capitol Hill area hotels. I recommend booking at one of these and avoid Yotel at all costs.
UPDATE: No, Matt, the third party booking site stated that they would modify the reservation and they called you to make the change, but you refused. I have the emails to prove it. You just lied. You could have easily made this accommodation, kept a customer, and prevented yet another terrible review, but you chose not to.
Everything succeeds or fails with leadership, and it’s clear by the abysmal ratings of this hotel that it has failed under yours.
Good day.
The bed is adjustable, which is great for watching TV comfortably. The location is excellent, very close to Capitol Hill and within walking distance. It's also super close to the train station.
You can self-check-in and get your room key at the hotel. When you leave, you can also self-checkout, which is very convenient.
The room was exceptionally clean, the proximity to major DC attractions like the monuments and union station was convenient and the price was good but the no coffee and the paper thin walls (they should offer ear plugs and provide a noise machine) was unacceptable.
The room was clean and well maintained, which added to our comfort. I would also like to commend the lady at the bar, who was amazing, and honestly, the coffee was the best I’ve ever had.
I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again in the future.

The food was good, but for $60/person I expected better. Certain dishes were exceptional, some were sub par, some were average. There was nothing we couldnt have made at home. Many of us paid extra for the prime rib and found it tough and dry. I think the desserts were the high point for most of our party.
The table service was excellent and our server was polite and conscientious. .
When we made the reservation, we were told it included something to take a way-- some sort of extra sandwich, in a doggy bag, or similar. As we were getting to leave, we asked, and were told "we did that previous years, but not this year".
We do not plan to go back.
