Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is excellent, with plenty of nearby restaurants and convenient access to the metro. The rooms, although nice and comfortable, had some issues with temperature control. The service was exceptional, providing thoughtful gestures and assistance despite a minor incident. The dining experience was subpar, with limited and disappointing food options. Not all aspects were perfect, but overall, a decent stay.
I had a great time at this hotel! The location was perfect, just down the street from the National Zoo and within walking distance to plenty of restaurants. The rooms were clean and updated, and the proximity to food choices was a big plus. The service was top-notch with friendly and knowledgeable staff. However, the bait and switch pricing strategy was a bit of a letdown. Overall, a lovely neighborhood to stay in.
I stayed at the Wardman Tower, which was part of the original hotel, and had a mix of experiences. The rooms were well-decorated with top-quality beds and all the necessities, but it took multiple requests to get a better room within the hotel. The service was excellent in providing advice about the city and restaurants, but there were issues with some valet attendants lacking knowledge. The location was fantastic, close to the nearest metro station and convenient for convention travelers, yet a bit crowded in the evenings with conference attendees. The dining experience left something to be desired as parking was not included and breakfast was not free despite booking for three people. However, the burgers at the restaurant were enjoyable. Overall, it had its ups and downs.
The hotel is situated less than a block from the metro, making it convenient for travelers like me. The rooms were updated, spacious, and had a great workspace with plenty of outlets for all my electronic devices. The service was fantastic, with staff offering helpful advice about the city and restaurants even at late hours. The location in Washington DC was excellent, within walking distance to various restaurants and shops at different price points. However, the dining experience was below par, with disappointing options and additional charges. The facilities were modern and clean, enhancing my overall stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are drastically different, clean, and updated, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The location is perfect with easy access to attractions, and the dining experience was fantastic. However, the service had a little hiccup that was quickly resolved.
The hotel is just steps away from the metro line and a short walk to the zoo, making it very convenient. The rooms were clean and accommodating, but on the smaller side with limited amenities. The service was warm and friendly, except for a few rude encounters. The location was serene and near the National Zoo, providing a nice escape from the city buzz. The dining experience varied from good but pricy to disappointing with some low-quality options.
The hotel provided standard rooms that were nice and comfortable but not worth the higher rates, especially for large events like my birthday. The service, although prompt in handling issues on our floor, had some failures recently. The location, in Woodley Park, was great for both day and evening activities, yet additional charges for Wi-Fi and parking seemed unnecessary. The dining, included in my stay, was of poor quality and limited in variety. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was spacious and comfortable, but it was a bit chilly inside due to the freezing cold temperature. The service was a mixed bag with delays in processing requests and cleanliness issues in the initial room, although the staff were polite and shared interesting historical facts. The location was fantastic, nestled in a beautiful northwest garden compound, and the proximity to the metro station made exploring easy, despite an encounter with an impolite staff member. The dining experience left a lot to be desired, with overpriced and unexplained options. The overall facilities were decent, but some areas could use improvement.
I had prepaid through Priceline two days prior to my arrival at the hotel. The room was spacious and in good shape, offering a comfortable stay. However, the service was non-cooperative, with considerable waiting times and unruly guests. The location was excellent, with easy access to amenities and transportation. The dining experience was subpar, with limited options and disappointing quality. Overall, the facilities were adequate but could use improvement in certain areas.
The hotel had no view at all, the room was small, and there was a broken table that had to be fixed when it almost fell on my baby. The staff was welcoming, but this incident affected my overall perception of the hotel.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spotless but a bit on the small side and lacked a vibrant ambiance, especially considering the higher rates charged during large events. The service, although professional, had some hiccups in processing requests promptly, yet they did address an issue efficiently on our floor. The location was a mixed bag, being nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood close to attractions but lacking some key amenities nearby. The dining experience was variable, with overpriced options and some confusion around included meals. The facilities were adequate but not outstanding.
I was quite underwhelmed by the hotel experience. The constant thunder-like noise from the elevator next to my room 24/7 was unbearable, and the walk from the main entrance was tiresome without a direct elevator. However, being away from the hustle and bustle was a small relief.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room was quite a trek from the elevator, making it inconvenient during my visit in November. On the plus side, the location in the Adams Morgan area of DC is great, with plenty of restaurants nearby and close to the metro. However, the dining in the concierge area was terrible, serving disappointing microwaved food. The service was decent, with some valet attendants being helpful and professional.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are big enough, clean, and conveniently located. The service is friendly and professional, although there was some confusion with onsite parking. The location is historic and fun to explore, just a short walk to the subway. The dining options are good but slightly overpriced. Overall, a pleasant stay with great amenities and value for money.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and stocked with nice bathroom products and a Keurig, but the dining experience was disappointing with overpriced meals. The location was convenient, within walking distance of eateries and several attractions, offering a relaxed atmosphere away from the city's hustle. The service was accommodating overall, although there was an incident of being yelled at for smoking in an unclear area.
