Placemakr Buzzard Point

What guests think

At Placemakr Buzzard Point, travelers highlight apartment-style, spacious units with full kitchens and impressive river or stadium views, plus consistently friendly, text-responsive staff, while repeatedly noting confusing app-based access, limited traditional hotel amenities, and pricey, third-party parking.

The location is quiet and walkable to Nationals Park and Audi Field, but a little removed from central sights and some guests found public transport or nearby conveniences limited. Rooms are widely praised as clean, modern, and comfortable, though a few reports cite issues like low water pressure, missing blackout shades, occasional tech frustrations, and an isolated bedbug incident. Best for independent travelers who prefer a quiet base and self-sufficiency.

The good stuff: 1. Friendly staff, 2. Clean, 3. Understanding staff, 4. Great price, 5. Awesome view. The not so great stuff: ridiculous parking rates, accessibility to public transport. Why we won’t be booking again: the different setup as opposed to a normal hotel was really difficult for my senior parents to grasp and left them very stressed. Calling the support number provided don’t help since the mailbox was full. The doors do not seem secure; they don’t lock automatically.

The apartment was wonderful - clean and bright, woth everything you need to cook a few meals in the kitchen. The staff were very friendly and easy to contact via text, which i appreciated. Wi have to warn about the on site parking - its very expensive and run by a 3rd party who isnot helpful or friendly. I suggest parking in the lot across the street for ease and cost. We plan to return in the spring for a Nationals game and look forward to our stay!

Room was nicely updated and clean but location was not what I was looking for. I didn’t realize this was not a hotel and more of an apartment where there wasn’t any amenities other than a work out room. Room was empty and I couldn’t find anywhere close to even get a bottle of water. Once again could have been better but the room was nice.

Pros: The room was beautiful & clean, the view was beautiful. Cons: this is a “pop-up” hotel mingled with residential building. Appears to be new construction. It was absolutely confusing to even find where to park or where to check in. It took us about an hour to figure out where to go. We even called in advance days before and arranged parking but no QR code was ever provided. We called several times for assistance but it was hit or miss getting anyone on the phone. Hotel needs better marking/signage. There is about 5 different hotels/housing areas, etc all using different names in the same building, all sharing the same parking garage.

The property is brand new in a very nicely renovated area near restaurants and the sports arenas. Our apartment was absolutely perfect for our stay! 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a walk in closet, kitchen with enough supplies to live comfortably and our own washer and dryer. The staff at the facility were very friendly and the building is very secure. They use an app based security system so people who aren't very tech savvy may have issues but you can talk to the PlaceMkr staff in their office on the 6th floor any time day or night and they can set you up with key fobs that work as well. We had a great stay at a really great value!

Everything was great I would definitely book again the only thing I didn’t like was the parking you book the stay nothing gets said about parking (figuring most hotels have parking) so I called to figure out where to park and they have a garage but it’s $60 a night little pricey after I already paid for a room at your place.

The property is excellent. Modern building and amenities. Room has a FULL kitchen and even a washer and dryer. The gym is large, clean and excellently stocked with modern equipment. The only note is to have better signage and communication when arriving to check in. It can be a bit confusing. The Kastle app is apparently not as necessary as the pre check-in instructions lead you to beleive.

Special shoutout to Stephanie S. from guest services, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm and attentive service made our stay feel extra special.

The property was really nice & unique. The location to Nationals Park for our concert was great. Concierge Jaleesa was awesome. However, my only complaint was that the water pressure was subpar. Barely any pressure out of the bathroom sink & even worse, was it was poor in the nice shower. We also only had 1 pillow & blanket, no sheets for the pullout sofa. We just made do. But that was poor considering the price of the hotel.

We stayed with our 2 girls and the 2 bedroom was perfect for our family! Grocery store was a few bus stops away so we could stock up for the week we stayed in DC. I recommend this property 100%.
