Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the room was underwhelming, outdated, and had a view of a side alley and trash, it was still somewhat comfortable and met my basic needs. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch and the staff were courteous and very attentive throughout my stay. The location couldn't have been better for exploring museums and shopping in DC, right in front of the White House. However, the dining options were a bit on the expensive side with limited choices.
The hotel is centrally located in the heart of DC, across Lafayette Park from the White House, making it ideal for a weekend of museum hopping and shopping. The rooms are clean, spacious, but unfortunately lack isolation, impacting the sleep quality. The service is professional and accommodating, ensuring a warm and courteous experience for guests.
The hotel rooms are smaller but comfortable for 2-3 guests, albeit a bit dusty for those with allergies. The service is courteous, amiable, and professional. The location is great for sightseeing, although it comes at a premium. The dining experience is pleasant but a bit expensive. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel was a complete disappointment with outdated rooms and a lackluster view of a side alley and trash. On the positive side, it offered a direct view of the White House, but the overall experience was not worth the high price.
