Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Motto By Hilton Washington Dc City Center from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Motto By Hilton Washington DC City Center is praised for its prime location near Chinatown, with convenient access to bus stops and a subway station. Guests appreciate the clean and modern rooms, even though they are designed as 'micro-hotels'. The rooftop bar is a highlight, and the grab-and-go breakfast option is considered convenient; however, some guests have found the air conditioning system to be problematic.
