8.4/10 Very Good! (1,997 reviews)
Yotel is located conveniently next to EVERYTHING in DC and the wharf. And quick 10 minute uber ride and you are anywhere you need to be. The hotel is definitely for the minimalist as it is a boutique line. When you arrive, there are kiosk for you to check in yourself even assign yourself a room key. I was given a promotional email for a discount on early check in so I went to the front desk to check in. Unfortunately the front desk agent was very combative and even when seeing the email wouldn't honor it. I had to ask him to call his supervisor who honored the email and asked me to forward it to him to see. I booked the room thru expedia which I am a VIP booker. Another perk was getting 29 food credit instead of 10 since our first class room couldn't be upgraded. When I asked the rep for this also showing the email and said he had a list of VIP guest and I wasn't on it. I chose this hotel for my birthday for the rooftop pool and bar. The front desk agent notified me that the pool would be closing at 2 all weekend for a private pool party. (Keep in mind that regular check in is at 3.) he said the pool party was 40.00 without a wristband and if I grabbed a wrist band by 4 I would be good to get in free. We put our bags down and came down at 1 to get a wrist band. We were told by the company running the pool party that everyone was being misinformed. The pool party would be every weekend this summer and not open to hotel guest unless they purchase a wrist band.
