Nightlife Options

You're steps from buzzing Chinatown spots, including bars and lounges perfect for pre-show drinks or post-concert wind-downs.

What People Say

Guests love the prime location near the arena and Metro, with many reviews praising the friendly staff and clean, modern rooms. Travelers also mention that the area feels safe and well-lit at night, which is a huge plus after a late show. The free breakfast and fast Wi-Fi also get frequent shoutouts.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that rooms facing the street can get a bit noisy, especially on weekends. If you’re a light sleeper, request a room on a higher floor or away from the main road. The snack bar is convenient, but those looking for full-service dining might want to explore nearby restaurants instead.

If you’re heading to a show at Capital One Arena or just want to stay in a lively, central location, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Washington DC/Downtown hits all the right notes for concert-goers.
