Enjoyed my stay
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and always helpful. Great location, one minute from the Capital One Arena and within walking distance from all the museums. The hotel bar was really nice and there are lots of dining options nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Good value and very clean
Business trip and if all you need is a place to shower and sleep this is ideal. Price is reasonable, given the location, but don't expect a big room. The staff there is amazing too.

Perfect
We chose Motto for it's proximity to the Rock n Roll Series Half Marathon. It was just perfect for what we needed. The staff was super helpful and professional. They let us check in a bit early and also extended our stay for us to be able to come back after the race and freshen up.

Nope.
Tiny does not even begin to explain how small this room was. And the bed was about as comfortable as sleeping on the ground.

Small but just right
I knew from reading reviews that the rooms were pretty small, but they are efficient and very well-designed for comfort and functionality. I was in DC for a conference and basically just slept and showered in my room, so for that, it was very comfortable, with fully functional and easy to use temperature control, a very comfortable bed, sufficient storage space for clothes, and an efficient bathroom with shower.
