I stayed there for the bar exam. It’s across the street from the Metro Chinatown/Gallery Place stop and 2 blocks from the Washington Convention Center, which made it super convenient. It was surprisingly quiet in the room, which allowed me a good night’s sleep both days. Bed was comfortable. As a microtel, room is only as big as a college dorm room, which was sufficient for my needs. Staff are all super friendly and really try to make your stay enjoyable. They kept stuff I bought in the fridge for me, so not having a fridge in the room wasn’t a big deal. I’m very picky about where I stay and don’t usually do reviews, but felt inspired to write this one because it is really a gem of a find.

Yo

When I checked in, the hotel told me Expedia hadn’t reserved my room. Expedia said it was the hotel’s fault for not booking it, and now there’s no room for me! … I’m traveling with my three-year-old, and we ended up going from a queen bed to bunk beds. Someone owes me an explanation… I’m never booking through Expedia again! Absolutely terrible!

The hotel was great. They were accommodating with holding luggage before check in. The room was clean and comfortable. The gym had cold towels. Location was super easy to get to on the subway line. Rooms are super small, but that’s part of the hotel style. I would seek out another Motto hotel for my next business trip.
