THE RITZ-CARLTON, PENTAGON CITY Luxe

Overall, a good business hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean and well maintained. Well located, right next to a nice shopping mall. The gym is somewhat minimalistic as well as the swimming pool, but it does the trick if you need a simple morning workout. The service was great. The staff in the breakfast area next to the reception was fantastic, very friendly and genuinely welcoming (thanks Daniela!).

Ritz Pentagon City is very easy access to Blue/Yellow line from DCA. Only a few feet from metro stop. Just on the other side of hotel doors is a huge shopping center. Everything from Victoria Secret to Apple. Food Court has anything you could ask for. Staff at Ritz was very nice. Always cool water or cool towels at front door. Coffee was great in the lobby. Uber to Bob and Ediths on 23rd for breakfast or dinner. It is on 23rd street about a 3 minute Uber ride. Walk to Pentagon Memorial. Make sure you google "Penatagon Memorial Audio Tour" when you get to memorial and then follow the audio instructions. If you have a blue tooth speaker take it, it makes it easy for other people in your group to hear audio tour. Make sure you eat Dinner at Old Ebbits next to White House. If you are doing Capital Tour, and the line is backed up, enter the capital from the Library of Congress, it will save you a ton of time. If you are from Florida, visit the Florida House next to US Supreme Court Building. Only state to have an embassy.

The service here is excellent! Everyone from manager to porters and wait staff were always smiling and asking if they can help you. Dinner was very good. Being next to a Metro stop and a mall were extra bonuses for me.

This is the best hotel to use for business in DC. A little expensive! Location is perfect. Can walk out of hotel into Pentagon City giant Mall. Metro right there. Walk to Pentagon. Walk to DEA HQS. Right on 14th St bridge. Terrific food. The best place in DC area for a business breakfast or lunch. Great place for dinner also. Very professional A+ staff. Tons of cabs available. Beautiful rooms. Parks nearby. Good exercise room and pool.

Absolutely wonderful room and place to stay. But honestly, the front desk, when I arrived after a long day of traveling and trying to fix a travel snafu, provided a cursory welcome and very little help in trying to find accommodations for the rest of the week. Will probably give it another shot in the future, and the people in the morning were great, but had a horrible day of traveling and was a little surprised when checking in at how basic it was. Honestly, the check-in process would have been the same if I had done it with a computer.
