Beautiful place and great customer service
WhyHotel is always a comfortable stay. I’ve been here about 4 times. They’re beautiful, luxury apartments that operate as a hotel. Check-in is fast and easy. The accommodations are spacious, clean and comfortable. The property itself is conveniently located in the Merriweather District of Columbia Town Center with lots to do and lots to eat nearby. I like having a full kitchen and in-unit laundry so I could save money by cooking and leave with clean clothes. I just wish their bedsheets weren’t so rough and thin. Mine had holes. Other than that, I love the place.

Girls Night
Our stay was great. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Parking was conveniently located on the same floor so we didn’t have to travel far with our belongings. We had a three bedroom two bath unit. The reservation was for one night but you can easily stay comfortably for a long period of time. The building was very quiet during our stay and most people are just going about their day. Definitely make sure to check your email the day of for the instructions you need to check in. This will help out a lot when you arrive.
