Hotels near Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain, Washington D.C.

Rooms are large and extremely comfortable. Bathroom was small but highly functional. Bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly. The restaurant was a bit of a disappointment. The reviews were good but when we decided to try the American breakfast we were disappointed. Toast came out cold. Potatoes had no taste. Eggs were fine. Bacon was probably the best part and that was ok. Coffee was terrible. We didn’t return.

Staffs was nice and the hotel was cozy. There was a bathtub so I could warm up my body.

Its a great place to spend your holidays with your family. The bonfire, indoor pool, accommodating staff and the room was nice. The room is big and feels your at home.

I made my reservations on line through the Choice Website and check-in was quick and easy. Once in my room I found it to be clean and the bed comfortable and well mad. The bathroom in my room was one of the smallest that I have encountered with this chain. The room overall as I sad was clean but it was beginning to show it's age. It front cover of my HVAC Unit was loose and quiet loud but after a little work I was able to secure it enough to stop the noise. The breakfast area features the usual waffles, eggs, a meat, with fruit, yogurt, cereals, juice and coffee. The breakfast area can get very crowded but for the most part the attendant keep it clean and well stocked. This hotel features a Free shuttle to the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station which is a little over a mile away. With free parking at the hotel this shuttle is a very nice feature that we took advantage of several times during our stay. When we arrived back at the Metro Station, we simply called the hotel for pickup and in about 10 minute our shuttle arrived. Over all I was very satisfied with my stay and will stay here again when I am in the D.C./NOVA area.

Room was clean. Maid service was prompt and excellent. The Garden Cafe was extremely convenient for breakfast and an early start. The one complaint I have: we called the front desk to ask where the Ice machine was. We were told that they would send ice up to the room. The ice never arrived.

I was there at the hotel, booking that day because my mother was at Walter Reed. The check-in young lady so compassionate and understanding. Truly outstanding customer service! The hotel is only a mile and a half from Walter Reed which made it extremely convenient to pull right in, and park downstairs in their garage and get out early in the morning. Will be using my Hyatt credit card more often. You definitely get more value for your points than Marriott.

On Monday, May 30, Memorial Day, I purchased two day passes to the Ven's Rooftop pool. It was great weather and the DC public pools were, for the most part, closed. Rather than spend 2k+ on a pool membership in the region (cannot afford that), my son and I have set a goal to hit as many hotel rooftop pools that offer daypasses. The Ven was a nice experience. So, I could totally recommend the one-off visit to the pool and to check out the views of DC. Totally fun to see the Dupont circle Metro stop glass roof (being repaired) and a number of other cool buildings. Always a plus-- my son didn't bring any devices, so he read books and lounged by the pool. It's not really a great lap swimming pool there at the Ven. But, I once had someone teach me how to ”Aqua-jog” and no one there made me feel like I was an idiot for doing that. The package supposedly includes the hotel's gym. But that's in the basement of the hotel. It felt like it was a little understaffed at the hotel and I didn't feel comfortable asking for access. Anyway, I was there for the pool. I also was not offered my ”canned cocktail of choice.” I could have demanded it, but the very sweet gentleman tending the pool food bar/drinks was on his third day, and was a little befuddled that I didn't have a room number to charge things to. HOWEVER, I will admit, I tipped the gentleman and he helped us manuever getting two loungers. THAT WAS WORTH IT. He was super helpful. It was crowded and I was not excited about spending the day there sitting on benches. I asked and 20 minutes later he helped us make it work. THANK YOU. So, for a one-off-- totally worth it! Will I pay a monthly membership fee. Maybe not. Unless people somehow hook me up very clearly with that air hockey table...

The hotel is huge and one of the more affordable one around DC. The aircon in the room is a little noisy but the operation guy came and says that’s the way it is. I asked for kettle to boil water and it came quite quickly though. There’s a usd20 surcharge per room per night but you can offset by meals in the hotel. The front desk also provides bottled water FOC upon request. Overall an ok stay.

The trip was great and the stay at the hotel totally contributed to this. I would recommend the hotel and will also stay here again.

I came to DC during the short vacation. I mainly wanted to check out the museums in the city, so I mainly searched for a hotel with a better location. The hotel is only a 7-minute walk from the White House. There are pharmacies, coffee shops, bars and restaurants around the hotel. The museums in DC close at 5 or 6 pm. You can eat and stroll around the main street around the hotel in the evening. The street next to the hotel is quite lively. Parking in DC is not very convenient, so I park my car on the street and go shopping, or drive to nearby scenic spots. As long as I leave the city center, it feels like it is easier to park. This time I went to the zoo and didn't buy a parking ticket specifically. It was easier to find a parking space if I drove there in the morning. The hotel lobby has its own restaurant, as well as a multi-functional hall, conference hall, and gym. The hotel should have been renovated. I personally feel that the room is relatively small and the window is also small. Their sink and bathroom toilet are separate, which is a good point. There is an ice machine in the building. I bought a drink and went back to the hotel. It was better to chill it and eat it with a late night snack.
