I was really looking forward to staying in this storied old hotel, so was disappointed when it did not meet my expectations. Negatives: First, when we called to ask where we could get ice, we were told by Reception that none of the ice makers were working and room service was closed for the evening! When I asked to talk to a supervisor, the supervisor said she would send some from the bar, which she did very timely. The next issue was the order of the cleaning agent they used in our room. It was so sickening. The Supervisor of Housekeeping came and brought some room freshener. It took a lot of his spraying, but he did finally mask the odor of the cleaning agent. The third thing that surprised me was there was no porte cochere to provide covering from the rain when a taxi picked up and dropped off. There usually were employees, young men, at the front door. I would have expected there to be large umbrellas that those men could use to help ladies to their taxi, but there were no umbrellas, and it rained some, everyday. Positives: there was a good refrigerator in the room and we liked the bathroom configuration which had the tub & toilet in one room and the sink outside. We would really have preferred a shower stall rather than a tub; but it's an old hotel, and they are still "old school". Most travelers today prefer showers. Also positive was the head of housekeeping, Marvin. He was extremely accommodating and made sure we could always get ice from the bar. Read less

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel. I did notice that the blinds on the window were dirty, especially in the bathroom and the outer window covering would not close. The bathroom shower handle was loose, I think they may need a new one. The bathroom floor was older and had a few cracks. The main issue for me was not having a… Read more
My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel. I did notice that the blinds on the window were dirty, especially in the bathroom and the outer window covering would not close. The bathroom shower handle was loose, I think they may need a new one. The bathroom floor was older and had a few cracks. The main issue for me was not having a refrigerator in the room for personal use. It is a stock bar. I needed to keep some things in the mini bar and the Hamilton charges each time it is opened.. For women, not a great feature. I did straighten this up. All in all it was a nice visit as we really are not in our rooms much. Read less

This hotel is located just a few blocks from the White House, and bus stops in front of the hotel can take you to most of the places you want to visit while in Washington DC.
