Hotel Rendale Washington DC

Positive: The staff was friendly Negative: I was bitten by bed bugs and there was no air conditioning in the whole building, it was miserable trying to sleep there!!!! Way too hot 🥵

Stay at the DuPont Circle Hotel for maybe $180 and save your money on the random $30 daily “facility fee” and land lord special everything that the Generator brings. I’ve stayed at $80 hotels better than this and my stay at the Generator was $150. Do. Not. Stay. Here. Stayed at the DuPont Circle Hotel for $180. No hidden fees. Just absolute quality and well worth the money. Bartender at the bar downstairs was nice though, great cocktails.

Two stars is me being generous. What a disappointment. In short there are better places to stay. Location is good and the interior design is Modern and fun. But this place is poor in quality. Do not walk in here thinking it’s a hotel. The way they perceive themselves online as a 3 star hotel is misleading. It’s a hostel. Theres no room service and there is an extra cost for everything standard item, like shampoo or water bottles. The tv is barely cable with no access to streaming apps. Then the sound system on the tv was inconsistent, it was cutting in and out every minute. The phone in the room cannot connect to outside lines. There’s no air ventilation in the bathrooms and the shower heads are very poor quality. If we want to get nit-picky about it, the pillows are poor quality and th

STAY AWAY…. I stayed 3 nights and there was NO HOT WATER and I did NOT receive a notice ahead of time. I WAS CHARGED FULL PRICE FOR NO HOT WATER. The price may be enticing but this is the worst living situation I have ever had. The rooms weren’t what made my experience bad. It was the front desk. I was notified there was no hot water when I checked in at 7PM by a new front desk white dude who claimed he had no clue what was going on or how to help with upgrades or anything, and insisted an email was sent… and then added in later that if you booked through a third party, you may not have received an email. NO discount or upgrade was offered. The black lady that’s the supervisor/manager was even more miserable the next morning, refusing to shift the blame to the hostel or to the third party.

THIS IS A SCAM. If I could give zero stars, I would. I booked a bed at Generator Washington DC, but they checked me into a permanent private residence. 1. The "Squatter" Nightmare (Room 701): The moment I walked in, I felt like I was trespassing. The room was packed with bulk crates of water, racks of personal clothes, candles, and even desktop computer monitors. The people in this room aren't travelers>>they LIVE here. They treat the room like their private kingdom. One resident literally sprayed room freshener directly over my head as if I were a piece of furniture! They move your luggage, they blast speakers, and they own the space. When I asked the front desk, they ADMITTED these people live here long-term. Why are you selling "hostel" beds in a room that’s clearly being used as a perm
