stayed at the Generator Hotel in Washington, DC, and was thoroughly disappointed. From the start, the front desk staff were generally unpleasant and borderline rude, which set a poor tone for the entire stay.
Be aware of a hidden facility charge that is not disclosed on third-party booking sites. The hotel refuses to refund it, so you’re stuck paying and left to seek recourse on your own.
They also charge an additional fee to hold your luggage past 5 PM—something most hotels offer as a courtesy. If you check in on a Friday night and your room light isn’t working, don’t expect it to be fixed anytime soon. That was my experience, and it was clear there was little urgency or care to resolve the issue.
The only redeeming qualities are the price and possibly the location (about 11 minutes from Dupont Circle), but even that isn’t worth the hassle. Save yourself the trouble and book elsewhere.
