Wonderful stay. First a BIG shout out to the staff! Everyone and especially the front desk staff were excellent, friendly, professional and -genuinely- happy to see you after a long day of sightseeing. Ephrem in particular was so kind, helpful and was -always- ready to help. Truly excellent gentleman. In the evenings, they offered us wine, chocolates, etc. A nice treat! Moving to the room, we asked for a higher floor, quiet room and they accommodated us which we appreciated. It's a nice large room, with a narrow, but fully functional kitchen and a small bathroom. I think size went towards the kitchen. Great new TV with HDMI inputs which we could plug-in our laptop and watch movies. Good large bed. We had a few small issues with the room which they fixed quickly. 1) Deadbolt didn't lock - was fixed the next morning. 2) Toilet didn't flush well - was improved same day. It might have been a water saving toilet and there was only so much they could do. We didn't quite understand the AC/Heat. It seems locked to either heat or cool options depending on the season and there was one night where having a bit of AC would have helped. But they brought us a fan and this was sufficient. We were never actually sure if it came on. The value for the location was outstanding. You could walk to attractions and there were restaurants within a few blocks. The only reason for not giving an overall 5 stars was the toilet and AC. We would definitely return! Thank you for a great stay.

The hotel was small but very clean and nice. The rooms were well maintained and stocked. The staff members were friendly and nice. The hotel offers several amenities - you can just text the front desk (or go talk to them) for anything you need. The DC streets are loud until pretty late at night, so bear that in mind if you are sensitive to noise.

Hey, The AC was sold out last week during the storm but I had to have a room close to the firm I was remote working for. A co-worker told me about the Quincy and said it was a awesome find. At half the price of the AC, the Quincy was delightful. The rooms have kitchens! Not only are the kitchenettes clean and well appointed, the interiors are brand new. The price was exceptional, and the check in and out was fast and easy. The desk gentleman texted within 20 minutes after I settled in to confirm that the WIFI was working and that I had everything I needed. They don't have a formal restaurant there but a good assortment of convenience foods in the lobby. They have a nice bar that serves bar type food. I will book there again. I think this hotel will pleasantly surprise you.

We stayed here for one night. Everything was great. We were really impressed by the size of the rooms and the kitchenette. The lobby has tea, coffee, lemonade, iced tea, and popcorn. All complimentary. Big shout out to the Ethiopian valet guy who was so friendly and welcoming!

I recently stayed at The Quincy for ten days and had a truly excellent experience. My room was bright, spacious, and consistently clean throughout my stay. The housekeeping team did a fantastic job, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel felt inviting and well maintained. The staff were exceptionally polite and helpful. Everyone I interacted with was professional and genuinely kind, always ready to assist. I also faced a small issue during my stay, and the team reacted immediately and handled it efficiently, which I really appreciated. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Washington, D.C. With the metro close by and so many attractions, restaurants, and shops within walking distance, it made exploring the city incredibly easy. Overall, I highly recommend The Quincy for anyone visiting D.C. Excellent service, great rooms, and a perfect central location.

We stayed here for 4 nights and we were pleasantly surprised. It's location is excellent, the room with our kitchenette was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The front staff are excellent, the concierge also keep in touch by text and provide any advice or issues you may have. We would definitely stay again and also the staff and everyone are great with our two kids (4&11).

I love how spacious the rooms are. I also love the fact that it is like a studio apartment, with the mini-kitchen, utensils and silverware. Most hotel rooms these days are not as big, so it was a welcome change. The staff were very gracious in providing an early check-in and also were very friendly. The constant drinks and coffee downstairs was extremely helpful, along with the popcorn. However, I would have preferred thicker walls as we could hear not only the TV from the other rooms, but also the conversations they were having. It woke us up in the morning and kept us up at night. If the rooms were soundproof, they would get a perfect rating from me.

Very well located. Super clean!! Hooray for that! Nice little kitchenette in the room that came in handy. Street noise is a bit much, and there's a club down at ground level, but it's a city, so that's not the hotel's fault. Coffee in the lobby any time you want it, and take advantage of the wine hour from 5-6. Cool! We visited in February, and the only option for climate control in the room is for heat, no cooling option, and our room with the heat turned completely off stayed at around 73 degrees. One of our party is from Alaska, and we live in the Northeast, and we never keep our house at 73 degrees in the winter. Bit too hot to sleep for us and nothing we could do about it, but the hotel offered a fan. But if we needed anything (bath tissue refill, for instance), they brought it right to the room in a jiffy. Very responsive. Nice exercise room downstairs. By the way, super-convenient to the Metro line at Farragut North station.
