Hotel Hive

I live in Baltimore but do a lot of singing in DC, and this night was final dress for a show at the Kennedy Center, followed by a party. We decided to spend the night so we didn't have to drive back early, and for some reason, everything was booked except Hotel Hive (and I think they have one room left) and everything was REALLY EXPENSIVE and I couldn't figure out why. The next morning, I saw college kids in caps and gowns walking down the street and realized it was GWU's graduation (GWU is across the street). Oops. That's why it cost so much. I'd be happy to stay there again when the rates are a little more reasonable. The way I looked at it, my rehearsal fee basically paid for the hotel, so it was kind of worth it so I didn't have to drive all the way home late at night, and we ran errands on the way back the next day. But yikes. It bills itself as minimalist, but it really was just right. It was just as appointed as other hotels I've stayed in in NYC.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable! The pizza from the restaurant was delicious! It was only a ten minute walk to the Lincoln Memorial. I couldn't have asked for a better hotel!

Location wise it’s wonderful. However, I don’t recommend their buzzroom for light sleepers. I’m not a light sleeper but it still bothered me. Housekeeping didn’t clean the room well. I still found a lot of hair & loose trash on the floor after they “clean” it

We very much enjoyed our stay- it’s the perfect hotel for a city break!

It’s in a great area, super nice staff. Just be ready for a small room. Only use it to nap or sleep. Not much more room to do anything else.
