Hidden Fees and Poor Service - Stay anywhere else

stayed at the Generator Hotel in Washington, DC, and was thoroughly disappointed. From the start, the front desk staff were generally unpleasant and borderline rude, which set a poor tone for the entire stay. Be aware of a hidden facility charge that is not disclosed on third-party booking sites. The hotel refuses to refund it, so you’re stuck paying and left to seek recourse on your own. They also charge an additional fee to hold your luggage past 5 PM—something most hotels offer as a courtesy. If you check in on a Friday night and your room light isn’t working, don’t expect it to be fixed anytime soon. That was my experience, and it was clear there was little urgency or care to resolve the issue. The only redeeming qualities are the price and possibly the location (about 11 minutes from Dupont Circle), but even that isn’t worth the hassle. Save yourself the trouble and book elsewhere.

I won't be staying there again. Firstly, neither Expedia nor the property informed us that there would be a resort fee of $56 AND a pre-authorization holding fee of $100. My partner and I are graduate students, so these extra fees threw us off. On top of that, the pictures on Expedia don't match the reality. The room is tiny and not clean. There were cobwebs in the vent in the shower, no wash rags, no cups, and the carpet and sheets were stained.

This hotel has hidden fees / charges when checking-in. Staff acknowledged that it should be included in the Expedia charge, and charged me extra fee anyway. Also the parking is more expensive than advertised, so be warned. I’ve stayed at 20 places on Expedia. This hotel has been the first to do this type of price gouging.

For one night it was perfect, did not go for any of the food. We arrived late and left early. The parking garage right next the hotel was convenient, park your own (pricey) we had an event early morning so we checked out, put our bags in the car and walked to our destination. Area was very nice. The hotel does have an outdoor swimming pool (closed) and outdoor seating front of hotel
