We booked this hotel because we have had wonderful experiences at other Thompson properties. This trip fell short of those expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was off. Our room was not ready when we arrived and they advised it would be 45 minutes and they would text us. Four hours later, we called and they advised it had been ready for a while. Not a great way to start off. But we hoped that was just an oversight. The room was stripped of basic amenities found in other Thompson hotels. Things like an ice bucket, glassware, mini bar options, Nespresso machine, and slippers. Nothing earth shattering, but still not the experience that you expect from a Thompson. While the room itself looked quite nice, the product they are selling is closer to a Hyatt Place. Other than aesthetics, there really wasn’t anything setting the two brands apart. The service was also subpar. Several of the front desk staff seemed genuinely annoyed when you asked them for anything. The front desk person last night chewed her gum and didn’t actually answer my question but rather gestured that she’d take care of it. And the bartender rolled her eyes at me when I asked for a glass of ice….since that seemed to be the only place you could get ice in the building. There wasn’t a single interaction with staff that was anything other than mediocre. And some were downright rude. Overall I’m disappointed in our stay and will never return to this property. We stayed here even though it was out of the way for what we had planned in the city because we expected a great hotel experience. We will never return to this property. If this was my first time staying in a Thompson or Hyatt property, I would likely avoid both in the future. Read less

PROS: The location is fantastic—central to just about everything in D.C., especially Nationals Stadium, which is just a short walk away. Most downtown attractions are easily accessible by foot or a quick Uber. The building itself is beautiful—modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed.

PROS: The location is fantastic—central to just about everything in D.C., especially Nationals Stadium, which is just a short walk away. Most downtown attractions are easily accessible by foot or a quick Uber. The building itself is beautiful—modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The rooftop area is especially impressive and makes for a great spot to relax or connect. CONS: The service left a bit to be desired. I requested my room to be cleaned at 8:30am while I was out, making it clear I’d need the space by 1:30pm to work. Unfortunately, housekeeping didn’t arrive until after 2:00pm. I also never received the complimentary waters I asked to be replenished after the first day. While the room overall was well-appointed, the headboard and desk chair had visible stains, which stood out in an otherwise upscale space. Lastly, the snack and drink offerings near the front desk felt pretty limited and underwhelming for a hotel of this caliber. Final Thoughts: Overall, a good hotel with a great location and stylish atmosphere, but still room for improvement when it comes to service consistency and attention to detail. Read less

I stayed at the Thompson for 7 nights for combined work/pleasure trip. What the hotel does night: Housekeeping: Rooms/bathrooms are spotless. Housekeeping was attentive of any requests. Decor: Room decor is modern and sophisticated with an understated quiet luxury. Location: Easy access to metro and DCA airport. Where the hotel falls short: Check-n: Check in time was 4pm. I arrived well after 5 and room was not ready. This really upset me as i had booked my flight to insure I would arrive after check-in time. Reception was not empathetic. I asked for a check-out time 30 minutes after my Exploits time 2:00 and they would not confirm. Yet, they were totally fine with me waiting for my room 1.5 hours past check in. Closet and Office space: The room i was in massive yet did not have a proper closet. The cabinet could not accommodate luggage, and the ironing board and robes made one side of the cabinet unusable. There was a tiny pull down desk. Do not book this hotel if you want to work from your room. Rooftop Bar Experience: The hotel has a great rooftop bar, but the service is painfully slow. The music was often blasted so loud conversation was nearly impossible. Read less

Hotel is located near water front, scenic, park, walk path and relaxing. Perfect-near the District Winery to attend wedding. Accommodations and amenities were excellent. Guests are treated very well. Thompson Rooftop offers a nice Happy Hour!
