"The price I received for four nights was great in comparison to many others I had checked. The location was great. Within walking distance of many sites, and there was a Metro station next door and the other one just across a one block park. There were also buses just across the street. The room was small but comfortable and the staff cleaned it every day. Really good experience!"

The Darcy Hotel

The Darcy Hotel

8/10 Good
"The Darcy is a good hotel located in a prime area. My only objection, and that is why I don't give five stars, is that it charges an amenity fee of about $40 per day that is not necessary. You have to pay the fee even if you don't use it. For example, it offers a drink during happy hour, but if you are not in the hotel at that time, you can't redeem it later at night. It feels like an added mandatory fee that increases the price of each night's stay. The daily rate seems low at this location, but once you add the amenity fee, it matches other, more expensive hotels in the area."
