This is not a hotel is a motel! You get what u pay for! Crackheads (zombies) and homeless are all around the property. Rooms have stains and smell bad! Dead cockroaches by the windowsill! Horrible!

The room wasn't what we expected. Before we were able to close the door to our room, I had to find the light switch which was on the wall BEHIND the door. Asked for a king size bed and ended up walking into a hot queen size room. God forbid if we were trying to get away from someone we wouldn't know whose at the door, there was no visibility through the peephole. Stain on the sheet dust everywhere, iron board with no iron, not enough towels and washcloths for two people, l/we iterally got one towel and one wash cloth, and to top it off there was a stained mattress laying in the middle of the parking lot. Let the person in the office know that there's a mattress just laying in the parking lot and his exact words were thats not the hotel mattress, that's not what we asked you sir. What are you gonna do bout the mattress laying on the head parking lot, apparently nothing cuz he just stood it up and leaned it up against the railing that other occupants have to touch.

Considering the nightly rate, the place is very good for a short stay, especially close to the main attractions of Washington, D.C. Target is a 2-minute walk, which is an option to have some quick breakfast in case you need it. I loved the place with my family and kids. The property owner could take the suggestion of placing a quick lock inside the washroom area.

I can't recommend this hotel unless you are out of other options. A friend and I stayed 3 nights in July 2026. For two of us over three nights, we had only two bath towels and two wash cloths - and they don't provide maid service during your stay. The hotel is in a very seedy, run-down part of town, and there were several sketchy characters hanging about. Some old guy in a wheelchair was sitting next to the ice machine every day, making it difficult to get to the machine. People were hanging out in the parking lot at all hours of the night, hollering at each other and playing loud music. The tub / shower is dangerous, as there was absolutely no non-slip material present, and I had to grip the grab bar in order to keep from slipping and injuring myself. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable that I have ever slept on. The mattress was hard and unyielding, causing me to wake up aching every day. The water was hot enough, but not great pressure. The A/C worked well. The microwave worked well, and the dorm-sized refrigerator worked well but we had to defrost the freezer compartment before use. The room was clean, but the property overall is run-down. The area is not really convenient to anything other than a gas station / convenience store and a liquor store. Do yourself a favor and seek better accommodations.

This is a motel. Room smelled musty, air conditioner sounded like a lawn mower. yet, the room was warm. The smell of cigarettes and marijuana was sucked in thru the air conditioner all night, as we found buds all over the pavement right outside of our windows/door. Even though the “hotel” made us sign the paper that it is a non- smoking establishment. We could not leave fast enough.

Please save your money and book somewhere else. Calling this establishment a \"hotel\" is incredibly misleading, it is a poorly maintained motel at best. The entire parking lot smells like urine and is crawling with cockroaches.

The rooms clearly haven't been cleaned in a very long time. The floors were covered in hair, dust, and crumbs, and the bathroom floor was covered in layers of water stains in front of the sink as if its never been cleaned between customers. It felt incredibly unsanitary. Avoid this place at all costs.

Decent place to stay if you are traveling on a budget. Beware though that the area is still gentrifying. The hotel is in a remote area of the city. You will end up paying for a shared ride to get to the attractions. If you want to take public transportation downtown be aware of your surroundings. There is a Target and Mom’s Organic a block away.

Dear Hotels.com Customer Support,

I am writing to formally complain about my recent hotel stay and to request both a refund

Upon checking into my room, I found it to be unsanitary. There appeared to be an old dead mouse or rodent remains in the corner of the room, which made the room unacceptable and caused significant distress.

Due to the condition of the room, I requested a refund; however, my request was denied and I was informed that I needed to contact Hotels.com directly but I couldn't get through the line.

In addition to the sanitation issues, I have concerns regarding events that occurred before and during my check-in process. I would like more information about any communications or decisions prior to checkin
and the assignment of my room.

Definitely not at all what i expected. It was more of a motel than a hotel. Walked in to our room and was greeted by a dead and alive cockroach so that made me angsty. The bathroom was nice with the lighting and counter space. The shower was super confusing and easy to flood since it’s kind of flush with the regular floor. Parking was a nightmare the second night as there weren’t enough spaces and people were double parked. Got a late checkout granted by front office (12pm) and the door was knocked on at 1115 by the cleaning crew who were also rude staring down me and my friends as we left the room at 1150am. Had just enough space to go around them since they didn’t seem to want to move their cart. Probably too busy trying to intimidate us out quicker.

It was nice there was security at night as the place overall gave sketchy. Came for a festival and probably would’ve went somewhere else if other festival goers weren’t there. Wouldn’t recommend for solo travelers or groups of woman. Lots of single or groups of men just standing around staring.

The hotel rooms were beyond unclean, they were unsanitary. Under one of the beds we found feces, seemingly to be an animals. The beds contained hair as if they didn’t change the sheets. There were prostitutes, drug dealers, and even homeless people in and around the property. And to top it off, the shady, rude main desk worker refused to refund us when we only stayed not even an hour because “we used the beds” when all we did was sit on them and move the sheets, BECAUSE it was so dirty. He refused to acknowledge the fact that the place is crawling with prostitutes and drug dealers, maybe he’s even in on it. How Expedia even leaves this property up for booking is beyond me. If I could give this property a 0 I would, and that’s being generous. DO NOT STAY.

Don't be misled by the photo of Ivy City Hotel's attractive signage - It's clean, sleek upscale look if the polar opposite of what lies beyond it. Staying there was a NIGHTMARE! You life is literally at risk if you stay there.
I Googled 'crimes at Ivy City Hotel\" 3 'gruesome' murders in 2023 - 2024: 'two homicides, gun, drug related safety breaches and a long string of violent crimes at the property

SHAME on HOTELS.com for rating it 'Good' - Clearly they don't verify feedback i- no way this hell hole got 1000+ positive review

it's a seedy crime ridden motel- prostitution and drug deals- I stayed there 7-night + during the few minutes I spent outside while waiting for an Uber in morning + being drop off at night I saw police cars 5 time.
I never stepped outside my room after dark - but I could hear police banging on doors, screaming, big dogs barking,fighting.
I need to be in DC because of a death in the family and wanted a hotel within 2 mile of their house in SE DC.
I Googled to find out if the hotel was in a safe area + IVY City was described as a warehouse district that underwent a transformation into the HIPPEST AREA IN DC.

Do not be fooled by the PR for - there are warehouses alright - but there's no transformation. This hotel is BLATANTLY MISREPRESENT on HOTELS.com
s How can they describe a hotel multiple murders have taken last year, and years before, as good option for tourists visiting DC?

The room itself was dirty — stains on the sheets, unpleasant odors, and the bathroom clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly. The noise level was awful, with thin walls and loud guests in the hallways all night, making it impossible to sleep. Safety also felt questionable, and the location wasn’t great either. For the price, this was a complete disappointment. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great rate - eighty bucks plus tax is amazing. I just needed a safe place with a bed, a shower, and a door that locks. A friend had heard of the hotel and said it is definitely not fancy but safe and recently remodeled. You can tell driving up that this is an old motel. Outdoor walkways, access to rooms direct from parking lot. Not the most pish area (think plastic shield between you & front desk). But room was very clean. And everything worked correctly. The only annoyance in room was there was no regular coffee pods for coffee maker. I impressed with how clean the bathroom was and the shower had lots of hot water with good pressure. Target store about 50 yards away from hotel

Staff.... cause of the drastically low rate the staff is used to some rough customer and many needing the room only for a few hours. I can understand them being a bit guarded when working with guests. At the same time, they could be a bit more friendly. I ended up staying 3 nights. Last day I ended up being late getting back to the hotel to pack up my things and exit room by 11am. By the time I realized the time I was scrambling to find my phone to call them and they were calling me at 11:30am. They were very abrupt both on the phone and when I got back to the hotel. A lecture about how it was causing issues with housekeeping who needed to clean the room for incoming guests. A very grumpy lecture. Yes, I get it. And I apologized multiple times and was packed and gone I. About 10 minutes
