You get what you pay for and for the price I paid the rooms were nice. I didn't get names but the front desk clerk that was there when I checked in was mean and rude. A couple days later I went into the office and a different clerk was there, he was nice, pleasant, and respectful

Room was not clean. Heat wasn't working properly. Staff made little effort to help rectify the situation. May have been a short staffing issue as there was bad weather starting at the time. Cheap but would not recommend.

Was staying at this hotel because we were attending a event at echostage . Hotel had its own parking which makes it very convenient and it’s somthing hard to find on DC. Room was pretty standard, their bed was surprisingly very comfortable ! We had an amazing night of sleep :)! Staff was very friendly as well. Our first room, a previous customer smoked in the room and made it smell terrible, the staff changed out room within seconds which we really appreciate ☺️ will stay again for the good price and convenient parking :)

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?

DO NOT BOOK- unsafe area & lots of homeless people using drugs on the stairs outside our room.
Location was good-bus stop around the corner and uber back $11-$15.
Room was ok, we like to have a bath but plug wasn’t working, massive TV, bed was large but it was quite itchy. The main road is very noisy and the railway line is across the road. We stayed for 3 nights no cleaner came in, had to ask for fresh towels, no bath mats.
Bed linen was limited, pillows were like blocks of wood. Lots of parking available.

The guy at the front desk doesn’t speak English and took forever to find my reservation going through. Hotels.com is very difficult for him to find the reservation. The shower had a very dirty mat. The bed wasn’t that comfortable, and there are zero food options at all, so if you’re flying in late at night, you’re completely stuck. There’s no water at the front desk or food.

I honestly regret booking this place. From the moment I arrived, nothing went right. The check-in process was slow and unorganized, the staff seemed uninterested and unhelpful, and the overall service was terrible. 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

The staff in the main office were easy going & helpful, but it really is a motel. It’s clean but if you’re a hotel snob like I realized I am, you’ll definitely not like it. I stayed here for somewhere cheap for one night and the smell is what got to me. Smelled like smoke, alcohol, sweat and tears. If you just need somewhere to lay your head, it’s cheap place & not terrible. But if you want to feel more relaxed & not feel like you’re staying in the bottom tier, you might want to choose somewhere else.

TV broke twice, each time we called and they took 45 minutes to show up. Looks like the started renovating bathroom, but stopped midway. Ceiling was patchy, potential leak. Very loud area.

The very worst hotel experience me and my friends ever had in our life - a total nightmare. My friend woke up from 1pm when there was a drug addict in the next room pounding the walls and at one moment it sounded like he was going to break into his room, he had to leave at 3pm. My other friend woke up a couple of times from a party next door - and this was a Monday night

Better than expected

The Hotel truly is more of a motel style establishment. OWNERS SHOULD THINK ABOUT CLEANING THE A/C FILTERS TO HELP ALEVIATE THE SMELL OF SMOKERS . UNITS PULL AIR FROM OUTSIDE AND MOST GUEST SMOKE NEAR THE UNITS WHILE STANDING OUTSIDE. While its not near to much of anything it is cheap fairly clean and quiet. There is a shopping center within blocks with target and a few other shops. Great for people traveling since its close to major DMV travel routes. Beds were clean but matresses are worn and need replacing. You have to request room cleaning the day before. Bathrooms could use a bit more deep cleaning along with walls (random smears and chipped paint) its gated with security and 24 hour desk service. The laundry is outside near the ice machine and the washer is broken. The vending machine next to the main entraince is empty save for pea it bars and flavored waffers. There is also a soda machine next to the entrance but unsure if it was stocked since i didnt need to buy anything. Check in was easy. $50 additional refundable fee along with another random fee that drops off a day or so afyer check in. Booking on hotels app my charges were 620 for 4 nights . I was charged 670 at check in and signed the reciept but noticed 805 pending on my bank statement. The final charge was 670 and im waiting on my $50 to be refunded. I will update once it happens.

I chose this place because of the proximity to the various places I need to go to during my visit.
Upon entering my room the first thing I did was go into the bathroom as it was a long drive and noticed the toilet seat was dirty, there were 2 rolls of toilet paper, wrapped, on top of the toilet. but no toilet papret on the roll next to the toilet. I di not use the toilet due to it did not seem clean. I looked at the shower/tub, and saw a hair on the top of the tub. I started looking at the floor and noticed that there was dirt on the floor and could tell it had not been swept or vaccumed. I did not even want to look at the bed or pull down the sheets. I went to the offfice to tell them about the room and they did offer to switch my room. But the first thing he asked was, \"you didn't use the bed did you?\" I wasn't even there 30 minutes yet. SO NO I did not use the bed. I purposely got a room with a King sized bed. He said he could geive me a different room but it would be a room with a twin bed. It was a toom with 2 tein beds. I just neede it for one night so I said fine. But, he also said he would have to go with me to inspect the room I said was dirty first. I don't know if he didn't believe me that it was dirty or didnt believe that I didn't use the bed. Either way, I was fine with that and just wanted to get into the other room so I could get a shower, have dinner, I was meeting a friend. That bed was uncomfortable. Wont stay there again. Needs serious upgrades.

The was not comfortable at all. The towels had old dark spots on them. In the morning two cockroaches had captured the bathroom. My wife could not sleep because of the sirens, drag races and other noise issues. We canceled our second nights stay and the manager was kind enough to issue us a credit. However Expedia should remove them from the list of places to stay in this area.

The room that we stayed in was average, but on the bathroom there was a leak on the ceiling that flooded the floor.

It was really noisy outside by traffic and people staying there.
Also it’s quite far from the nearest Metro station, half a hour walking. So be prepared to walk for that.
