While travelling for work, I chose to stay at the Moxy Washington, DC, Downtown for its location close to the shopping streets and places to see in Washington, DC, such as the White House.<\/p>\n

Marriott has a full range of hotels for every budget in Washington, including the Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, JW Marriott, the Fairfield and Residence Inn for families.<\/p>\n

I went to Washington for a week of work and convention and stayed there for part of the week at a lacklustre Hilton Garden Inn near the Capitol, close to my meeting location.<\/p>\n

As I do regularly when I stay for work in a new city, I extend my stay by a day or two to visit the city.<\/p>\n

On this trip, I decided to move closer to downtown and stay at the Moxy Washington, DC Downtown<\/a>. I like the young and trendy concept of Moxy hotels, but it’s not ideal for a family, as the rooms are smaller with an open bathroom.<\/p>\n

According to the current charter, the Moxy Downtown<\/a> is a category-five hotel. You will have to pay between 30,000 and 40,000 points to book it with points. Since I was aiming to earn points for a trip to Europe, I paid for the room.<\/p>\n

With the Platinum status<\/a>, I got breakfast, a free drink at the bar and an upgrade to a King room, a city view.<\/p>\n

The Moxy Washington<\/strong> hotel does not have suites, so the city view is the highest category. I was happy with my choice, as the location of the Moxy allowed me to visit most of the sites on foot, and I could take a Hop on Hop Off<\/em> bus a few blocks away (I talk about it later in this article).<\/p>\n

The Happy Hour at the reception\/bar is very nice.<\/p>\n

Check the room’s price by simulating the reservation as often as possible. The price of the room I booked initially was $265, which I thought was pretty expensive, but all the other hotels were even more costly.<\/p>\n

In the end, I paid $160 for the room after three reservation changes.<\/p>\n

The hotel is approximately 35 minutes from Dulles International Airport but only 9 minutes from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.<\/p>\n

The Moxy Washington offers 5 room types:<\/p>\n
