We stayed here for a few nights and were very pleased with the location, which was easy to find from the train station. It's basically the tallest building around or one of them anyway, so it was very visible and a short easy walk of a couple blocks. The room was good sized with comfortable beds and a mini frig. One thing that could be slightly better is the outlet contacts on the electrical outlet on the bathroom side of the bed (room 820) are worn out: they still charge but a plug-in will fall out of them at the slightest bump. If they can replace that, it should be an easy fix that a lot of people will appreciate because it's the most convenient outlet to charge your phone from. As far as everything else, it was quiet and comfortable and we had plenty of hot water with good pressure for a shower. The room was very clean thanks to Veronica in housekeeping, and Nina K at the front desk was amazing!!! She was so helpful with questions I had about public transportation and she helped me print my boarding passes out at an ungodly early hour of the day, so thanks Nina for that! I was glad we chose the Carlyle and I will definitely recommend it to others.…
Stayed here a weeks for two months because it's conveniently located off the Beltway and down the street from the Eisenhower Metro. Check in process is contactless. Parking is free, which is one of the challenges with the other hotels close by. Found the rooms a little tired and not in the shape. The overall care a little lacking, evidenced by the trash sitting outside my room. The breakfast is a bagged grab and go with a muffin or danish (which I didn't like). Gym is still open, but need to bring your towel down. Bar is closed and so are the lounge areas.
We have stayed here multiple times as it it within walking distance of my son’s apartment and it has always met our needs. Never again. Granted Covid changes things but this stay was very unsatisfactory. Multiple people without masks inside—including staff. The refrigerator didn’t work. The towel rack fell off the wall. My daughter had to change rooms as the electricity was irrational. Then her coffee maker didn’t work. Children playing in the parking lot at 10 pm.
Stayed there for almost a week with my wife. Check In was easy and all un order. Very clean and quiet room - all clean throughout the premises. Felt very safe and confortable. Staff was great - restaurant service very good, menu somewhat limited, but lots of great restaurant near the area. Even though we had a car, we preferred to “Uber” or take the train (that is conveniently located “next door”). Definitely will go again- after the pandemic, of course.
This hotel is not worth the money. Even though it is “smoke free” you can smell the lingering smell of smoke on every floor. The smell is covered up with fragrance you would buy at the dollar store or in a gas station bathroom. The walls are paper thin which I often heard people talking, watching t.v. and making love on the other side. Because of COVID I cannot rate the food or staff appropriately. Positive note. The limited staff that I did encounter were friendly and it is in a great location for the metro and restaurants.
