Don't be misled by the photo of Ivy City Hotel's attractive signage - It's clean, sleek upscale look if the polar opposite of what lies beyond it. Staying there was a NIGHTMARE! You life is literally at risk if you stay there.
I Googled 'crimes at Ivy City Hotel" 3 'gruesome' murders in 2023 - 2024: 'two homicides, gun, drug related safety breaches and a long string of violent crimes at the property
SHAME on HOTELS.com for rating it 'Good' - Clearly they don't verify feedback i- no way this hell hole got 1000+ positive review
it's a seedy crime ridden motel- prostitution and drug deals- I stayed there 7-night + during the few minutes I spent outside while waiting for an Uber in morning + being drop off at night I saw police cars 5 time.
I never stepped outside my room after dark - but I could hear police banging on doors, screaming, big dogs barking,fighting.
I need to be in DC because of a death in the family and wanted a hotel within 2 mile of their house in SE DC.
I Googled to find out if the hotel was in a safe area + IVY City was described as a warehouse district that underwent a transformation into the HIPPEST AREA IN DC.
Do not be fooled by the PR for - there are warehouses alright - but there's no transformation. This hotel is BLATANTLY MISREPRESENT on HOTELS.com
s How can they describe a hotel multiple murders have taken last year, and years before, as good option for tourists visiting DC?
