Overview

Have it all on a budget at Pod DC. Most hotels provide comfortable places to stay, but charge you for amenities and services you never use during your stay. Pod Hotels are an exciting new concept in travel lodging, featuring comfortable rooms loaded with the amenities you need, and none of the costly extras you don't. Pod DC is centrally located in Penn Quarter to everything the capital city has to offer; Gallery Place and Capital One Arena are across the street, the Washington, D.C. Convention Center is three blocks away and Union Station is a five minute walk. Guests can enjoy sweeping views of the city from their year-round rooftop bar. The hotel is also just a 15 minute drive from Regan National Airport.

The Pod DC features three on site venues for dining and relaxing, including the Crimson Diner, Crimson View and the Crimson Whiskey Bar. The diner serves up Southern-style comfort foods from early morning until late night; Crimson View, located on the penthouse floor, features cocktails and gourmet snacks and incredible views. Bi-folding glass doors make it easy to enjoy the views even during winter. Crimson Whiskey Bar showcases Southern whiskeys and cusine with fantastic happy hour specials on signature cocktails, beer and wine.

The Pod DC features 245 well-appointed guest rooms, including bunk, full and queen options. All rooms feature sublimely cozy pillowtop beds, work desks, private showers, flat screen TVs, USB charging ports and media hubs, contemporary, cheerful decor and custom climate control for your ultimate comfort.

The room was too small for two people with full-size suitcases. There is literally not enough room to open them. You can keep a couple of them under the bed so you can walk around, but there is nowhere for clothes. So I'd not recommend it for couples who aren't traveling light. For a solo traveler with a single small bag, it would be a great option. The location is good, the staff is nice and help...

Pros (+) The room is like staying with a friend and sleeping in their spare bedroom. The bed was super comfortable, bathroom was a perfect match to the size of the room. The roof top bar is a great place to catch views of the city day or night. The Crimson was a place to grab a quick bite to eat regardless of what meal it was.
Cons (-) The shower curtain gets a little friendly if you like your showers hot. Leaving the curtain open a few inches helped at the cost of having a damp floor mat.

Pros (+) I love pod hotels, this is my third one (been to both Pod NY). Rooms are "compact" but public areas are always so enjoyable. The coffee bar at Pod DC is really nice, as well as the penthouse lounge which offers comfy seating and beautiful late afternoon light ! Location is perfect for sight seeing, bus to Georgetown is 2 blocks away.

Pros (+) The Pod DC was super cute, very well maintained, and obviously recently updated. The room was quite small (like being in a pod!) but you don’t spend much time there anyway, and everything was nicely appointed. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were too, the tv was huge and the bathroom was nicely designed. Definitely not specious, but it really didn’t bother me! I’d stay there again!
