Hotéis em Brookland - Takoma - Petworth, Washington, D.C.

Prós: The front desk people were beyond helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

Contras: Not disliked, but thought the valet people couple of smiled more and been friendlier.

Prós: Came in on an early flight and unexpectedly, our room was ready by 11am. Also, asked for a room with a view. Again to our pleasant surprise, we were accommodated with a fourth floor corner room with a great view. Another huge plus for this hotel is the location to the NoMa metro. Made for easy travel throughout DC. Plenty of fast/casual restaurants within walking distance (Moes, DD, Perfect Pita, cafes and more). Only slight minus is the lack of sit down restaurants , but the close proximity to the metro easily makes up for this. Overall, fantastic stay at an affordable price.

Contras: Metro proximity Fast casual food options Room/staff

Prós: Close to Metro. Staff was friendly.

Contras: Closet had moldy smell. Sofa bed mattress was stained. Loud, next to metro. Bad neighborhood, don't go out at night. I would not stay here again.

Contras: The desk clerk

Prós: Location close to metro and amtrak station. Bristo had good food and was open late. Hotel staff were friendly.

Contras: Pool was a little hot.

Prós: Unbelievably close to the NoMa/Gallaudet stop on the Metro Red Line. About 30 seconds from hotel doors to metro station doors. All of the staff I interacted with were quite nice. The food at the Bistro is avergae - like it is at every Courtyard. All of the Bistro staff were super friendly and attentive. I was in the "Executive Suite," which is really just a corner room. It had an impressive amount of windows - at least 40' in length. Though really your only choice of views are the train tracks, a street or the ATF building. Other than the weird smell in the room, it was clean. The housekeeper I interacted with was nice and she did a pretty thorough job, in my opinion, for a regular daily cleaning. The TVs were probably bought back in 2006, it looks like - pretty behind the times - if that matters to you.

Contras: My room had a less-than-favorable odor. The windows aren't exactly soundproof, so you can hear enough train sounds to jar you awake if you're a light sleeper. They supply you with earplugs, so they know their windows don't cut it. Also, you can hear a homeless person yelling at others from time to time. The location is super convenient if you want to be close to the Metro. Even though it's just a 30 second walk, you are absolutely guaranteed to get harassed by a homeless person. The 7-11 that's part of the same building is convenient, but there is ALWAYS a homeless person harassing you on the way in and out at the door. There were more than a few "interesting" characters staying at the hotel which made it a little less desireable. I was traveling solo for business and it fit the bill - though if it didn't have the proximity to the Metro station, I would not stay there. I would not bring my family to this hotel - I would not feel comfortable with them walking to the Metro station without accompanying them. It's a hotel where you have to use your room key in the elevator to get to your floor, if that helps with understanding what I'm trying to show here.

Prós: Positives: clean room, nice amenities, friendly staff, excellent location (walking distance to Union Station, shops, grocery store etc.). Great value for money.

Contras: We requested a room with a view and were given a room on the 7th floor, which was nice, except we were facing northeast and there wasn't much too see. It's a trifling issue and didn't affect our stay at all; we still had a great time. Also some minor noise from the trains and roads, but anyone used to city noise won't be too bothered.

Prós: Valets very helpful and personable Location to train both a positive and negative Fitness center nice.

Contras: Very uncomfortable pillows

Prós: The metro was next door

Contras: Valet was too slow and expensive, bums out front 7/11, nothing to eat in area

Prós: Thanks to the staff for providing bleach-free linens for our room.

Contras: Breakfast was delicious, but the serving setup could be improved. One morning there was over 20 people in line the entire time I was in the area.

Prós: I really liked the modern furniture. the TV with cable. The bed was soft and comfy.

Contras: My only complaint was the view I had. I had an ugly view of an empty lot.

Prós: The staff was top notch. Breakfast was great every morning. Bar food was also good.

Contras: Bed was a little uncomfortable. Room was too warm AC was turned off because it was December I assumed. But our room stayed at 78 degrees. Much to hot for good sleeping.

Prós: Everything was so good. Breakfast was yummy. Front desk staff nice and helpful.

Prós: Just a train ride away on the redline.

Prós: Nothing

Contras: The neighborhood was so bad that we did not check in.There was no parking and the surroundings did not look safe. I would not walk from street parking to the hotel with my wife and two teenage girls. The hotel is attached to a wheel shop. We went to Alexandria, Va and stayed at a Residence Inn by Marriotte instead.The website for this hotel is very misleading.

Prós: Good value hotel, got to stay for 5 nights. The rooms are spacious enough and the bed was VERY confortable. The offer noise machines and claim Dc is very noisy, it was not needed at all. The complimentaly buffet breakfast was barely ok and expect queues if you go after 8:30.

Contras: The pool is very small, just good enough for a spash and expect it to be full of people.

Prós: Proximity to friends and airport

Prós: The staff when I spoke with them was helpful and professional. Overall cleanliness of the hotel was very good. The hotel is relatively new, but kind of on the edge of a good area. Breakfast was good each morning that I was there.

Contras: Called the hotel several times during my travel to the location due to airline issues. Phone rang as many as 50 times with no one picking up. Same thing happened when I called the front desk from my room. Not sure what the issue was since the staff was always courteous and helpful when I interacted with them in person. Room was only cleaned 2 out of the 4 days that I was there even though I was out of the room from either mid-morning until late night or early morning until dinner each day. Not in the hotel's control, but construction site across the street is very loud. Sleeping in on a weekday not really an option.

Prós: Friendly staff. Rooms are clean

Contras: When you travel with kids, microwave is always useful. Rooms have a fridge, but not a microwave...

Prós: We walked everywhere. Its only a 20 minute walk to the senate building. There are also fast causal restaurants a block away or the metro if you need it.

Contras: The $50 (taxes included) a night for parking is ridiculous. I know other hotels nearby are similar but its not downtown DC and the lot they use is right next to the hotel. Also the breakfast was like any other bad hotel breakfast (don't believe the other reviews).

Prós: The breakfast was the best I've ever had. The staff was professional and friendly. The metro was in walking distance.

Contras: The neighborhood was a little sketchy. Don't be on the streets after dark.

Prós: Friendly staff! Hotel shuttle drivers were very friendly and accommodating.

Contras: Location isn't good. Removed from all the sites and food places. Hotel shuttle is not as convenient as I thought it would be since there's only one and it only leaves every hour.

Prós: Location Shuttle

Contras: Broken window Heat didn't work Broken toilet seat Broken sink drain

Contras: Requested for extra towel nobody turned up.

Prós: Convenience to Gallaudet University, free shuttle to train

Contras: Not many options for food

Prós: The staff made our stay very welcoming and accomodating. The room was clean and pleasant to sleep in. The grounds were well kept and very convenient.

Prós: Loved the location. It was close to so many places and really appreciated the shuttle to union station.

Contras: This was second time we stayed at Kellogg and each time our room key did not work so we had to return to front desk and there were no apologies-no nothing! Almost as if it was our fault.

Contras: The room was very small, the staff wasn't friendly at all and they have bed bugs. I wouldn't recommend this hotel, definitely not worth the money.

Prós: Safe for the area as it is surrounded by a rod iron fencing around the campus and a manner security station, overall very clean, employees were friendly. Food in Bistro was fresh with a good selection, and staff very accommodating, but a little expensive for the offerings. The grounds were pleasant and spacious. Room was very quiet and could not hear noises in the halls, or from neighbors. It was spacious. The bedding was comfortable and towels thick and felt nice. Great customer service from the front desk as they responded well above and beyond to concern of an item I had left behind with excellent follow through.

Contras: The room was not stocked appropriately for the number of people staying the in room; the shower needed some repairs on the adjustable bar; totally missing. Made showering awkward to say the least. The price of breakfast was a little high for the area. Should simply build the parking fee structure into the cost of their rooms, given you are certainly not going to park off campus and walk to the hotel.

Prós: Not much

Contras: Was secluded in a sketchy area, no one told us about the trolley service that wasn't even available most of the time, no one told us of the expensive parking fee, no refrigerator in the room, no evening restaurant or bar, prices in little lobby store were ridiculously high

Prós: Nothing about the experience

Contras: The site screwed me. There were two Kellogg enters listed. I picked the wrong one, expecting to go to Michigan State Univwrsity, never Washington. Upon realizing it within hours I called to correct my mistake. They told me about the no cancel policy and would not refund my money despite trying to Correct it within hours, weeks before the travel date. While I understand policy this would require a manger or executive to make a decision. Based on the inability and unwillingness I won’t reserve any hotels this way, and will avoid this site whenever possible choosing to book directly.

Prós: Price...until it jumped 50% after taxes, fees and parking

Contras: Staff was exceptionally rude. Eric R. stated I should not have booked through a third party...made it clear that any issues were not his problem as I didn't book directly through hotel. He told me and other guests that if we weren't so cheap we wouldn't have problems with reservation and check in. "Manager" "Vegas" had similar attitude...no customer service whatsoever. This is on a college campus. Parking is $30 in a garage 1/4 mile away from hotel, details not disclosed until check in.

Prós: The location and the staff, also that my daughter attends Gallaudet U, I will be coming back!

Contras: No fridge or microwave and no complimentary coffee in the morning.

Prós: Beds were comfortable and not a very noisy area.

Contras: Could use some more thorough cleaning as there was dust and other bedridden against the baseboards. More of a motel setup as the doors are on the exterior of the building. Rooms aren't big.

Prós: The Refrigerator fit many water bottles? Um, it is difficult to write anything positive about this hotel.

Contras: Um, don't know where to begin. This hotel is in the middle of no where, next to the railroad. Non-smoking room had a deep, deep cigarette smell. Seemed like someone was smoking in there not too long ago. If it wasn't for me not being able to sleep earlier because of west coast time, you could hear and feel the trains coming and going. The walls are very thin, and you can here anything outside. There are also some people that come by bumping their music so loud, that the room vibrates. This also occurred during the wee hours. So if you are a light sleeper and you want to stay here, good luck. However, this is not the reason why I left. On the first night, I found a bug on the sheets. I wasn't sure if it was a bed bug, because it was the first time I saw that type of bug, so I killed it. While I was sleeping, I woke up because I felt itchy. However, I sometimes get itchy, so I didn't think it was bed bugs yet. After the next night, I woke up and once I was about to leave, I saw a smaller bug on the bed again, so I caught it, but this time when I smashed the bug, blood smeared on the sheets. So, I knew they were bed bugs, and I packed up my stuff, and went to the front desk. I told the manager that I wanted to get a refund for the remaining time there (I had booked for 8 nights). The front desk made it very difficult to receive a refund, and not until my sister yelled at the front desk with a customer waiting did he agree to the refund. He was trying to get us to check out and pay the full amount. So, I spent one day in DC trying to quarantine all my luggage. So if you really have to stay here, you have been warned.

Prós: It was within a mile of food, gas, shopping. The room was clean.

Contras: The hotel needs a remodel inside and out. No sign out front for hotel wasn’t sure where to turn.

Prós: The room was very clean and well kept. The staff h was friendly and courteous.

Contras: The amenities were getting pretty old. The hotel is in a very bad section of town and was not comforting.

Prós: The price was right, bed was comfortable, no sign of bed bugs.

Contras: Small roaches found the in the room.

Prós: La wifi gratuite, le petit déjeuner compris, 15min à pied du 1er metro, plutôt propre

Contras: A la réservation et dans le mail de confirmation, rien n'indiquait qu'on avait loué une chambre "fumeur" alors qu'en arrivant à l'hôtel, le réceptionniste m'a assuré que si... Notre chambre était donc : -puante de cigarette -pas encore nettoyée (lit défait, télé et lumières allumées) toutefois, nous avons gentiment demandé et la personne nous a donné une chambre non fumeur cette fois!

Prós: The location was convenient to the heart of DC if you are traveling by car.

Contras: They told me my reservation had been cancelled, yet I had the confirmation in hand. Twice they told me I had reserved a king room when my confirmation email said two double beds. Every time we wanted to get into the room we needed to wait for them to program a new key because the lock kept malfunctioning. We were there 4 nights and the toilet leaked from the bottom the entire time, despite me informing them. When we arrived two of the lights didn’t work and there were cigarette burn holes in the blanket - in a nonsmoking room. Plus, with the smell of marijuana and a person in the hall screaming and cursing in anger, I did not feel comfortable with my three year old son there.

Contras: The people close they really bad and they smokers inside and not taking about regular cigarettes did other one. The guy from the taxi tell me stays in you room all the time don't come outside for nothing I was scared the hole night I didn't sleep I booked for two nights I staying for one night I left in the morning. And I know a lady rent the hotel and she left and sleeps in the airport she was scared this place nothing is the same at photos the you have online

Prós: NOTHING

Contras: EVERYTHING

Prós: The rooms are very spacious. Motel 6 has really stepped up their game. The bed was nice and cozy.

Contras: TV wasn't working in our room. Plus I was under the impression that the hotel had smoking rooms. Found out that the entire hotel is non smoking. A bummer
