  stayed here for 20 years always wonderful

• Yukimi from United States (10/10)

  Their service was great! I expected that because I had stayed at this hotel, which is way I made a reservation again. Their hospitality was more than I expected! The concierge at the front desk, the handyman who came and fixed the AC issue, the lady who gave another water bottle, everyone, was amazing. I'll definitely stay at this hotel, again.

  The staff was courteous and kind and always a step ahead of us. And the location is perfection! I’ve stayed many places in DC, and it’s nice to not have to drive or cab. Walking in a city really changes the experience for the better, and we couldn’t have done that if we’d stayed elsewhere.

• Paige from United States (8/10)

  The location is unbearable. The staff were all wonderful. And I love a classic old hotel. Plus the beds were very comfortable and the room was quiet.
