Checkin was smooth and the staff very helpful. A long train ride that made us 4 hrs late getting into D.C. was exhausting. Sleeping on a nice firm bed , a wake up call, and a nice shower and breakfast before heading back to the train for the rest of our journey home, made our Churchill stay enjoyable. Front desk called a cab for us, and even assisted us with access to the restaurant as the Three steps up to it were hard for me with my mobility issues.

Giving it a three star because there was no A/C in the room and it was quite hot in DC. The location was great as it was located right in the heart of DC. The staff was friendly and helpful but we didn’t realize that breakfast was NOT complimentary, so ultimately I didn’t even eat breakfast but that’s not a big deal. Overall, it was a decent experience. Location was ideal, but A/C was not working

Housecleaning didn’t clean my room the first night then didn’t replace the water or position the pillows right
Otherwise the room was very comfortable and the staff was friendly. I was the only one eating in their restaurant but the food was good.

This is a luxury hotel, appropriately so. but keep in mind that there is construction outside preventing sidewalk access. also, they charge $50 for early check-in, which seems wrong for this level of hotel. also, my room had some odd dead spaces in the layout, and a suboptimal bathroom layout. no big deal, but odd.

I’ve read other reviews so maybe this is specific to room 303 where we stayed. The bathroom was pretty disgusting. Water stains on the ceiling, toilet paper roll about to fall off the wall, the distance between the sink and wall would not be sufficient for a larger person, mold in the shower conditioner bottle and the shower had a strong sewage odor. We asked to switch rooms and was told there was not another room available. I would not recommend this hotel.

I have stayed here many times and usually have an excellent experience. However, this time it was not so great. The plumbing needs some work. Our toilet did not work and I assume because we didn’t get to the hotel until almost 11 PM but we didn’t staff wasn’t working. Therefore someone did not show up to the room until 12:30 AM. Housekeeping, or somebody should check to make sure the toilets are flushing when they review the room. Apparently that did not happen. I also saw some hairs on the lampshade in the bedroom. I had a suite. The bathroom was really small in the suite. I would likely not due a suite again. We were awoken at 7 AM on Saturday either due to construction or just loud noise. We faced the alley, which was not a nice view at all. You would think they would give me some sort of preference or about around after how many nights I’ve stayed there this year.!

It was the worse place I’ve ever been. I spent days trying to contact the property, they never responded. I called them several times, and when they finally answered, they were extremely rude and not helpful.
In the room, the bed and the bathroom were both dirty. It was a warm weekend going up to 87°F and the AC instead of cooling the room down it was making it HOTTER! Worst place I’ve ever stayed in DC. I do not recommend.

Here’s a polished, compelling review you can use:

---

I had a wonderful stay at The Churchill Hotel near Embassy Row in Washington, DC. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with a small refrigerator, which was very convenient. A lovely touch was the complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival—it immediately made the experience feel warm and welcoming.

The staff truly stood out. Everyone I encountered was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful in navigating the city, which made my stay even more enjoyable.

The on-site restaurant is definitely worth visiting—the breakfast was delicious, and the décor throughout the hotel is absolutely stunning. It really adds to the overall charm and elegance of the space.

The only downside is parking. The hotel’s parking is $70 per day, and street parking in the area is quite challenging. I ended up parking at the Hilton across the street for $55 per day, which was a bit more manageable.

Overall, I would absolutely stay here again. Between the beautiful accommodations, excellent service, and great location, it was a fantastic experience.

Even though in the description it clearly states they have AC, this time of the year they do not. So with the fluctuations of Temperature and being on a higher floor the rooms are very warm. We were told to just open a window, which are not screened. Had to ask for a fan, one was not offered as a solution when I called. I was just rudely told it states on the website that they do not have AC, which is inaccurate. So if you can’t sleep in a hot room at night you may want to rethink staying here. The majority of the staff at the front will not greet you in any fashion, I always greeted them with a smile and barely would get a response. If you’re looking for a place that is within walking distance to all of the monuments this is not in a location for that. We had to Take an uber every day to and from the Main area.

The good: Location, great staff, big fridge in room that is actually cold! Molton Brown toiletries. Plenty of power sockets built into bedside cabinets and lamps.

The not so good: Small room for a deluxe king, felt like it was just a standard room. Dated and a little tired. Limited channels on tv. TV cabinet had broken doors. Shower head small and grubby, low pressure. Plastic disposable cups but no glasses or rigid plastic cups for drinks. Paper cups for coffee machine.

Overall it was fine for the price but struggling to demonstrate its 4* status. Oddly called my room offering an upgrade 3 days into my 5 day stay. Nice offer but timed strangely. Would I go back, probably if I got it cheap enough as I used it as a base.

We've stayed at the Churchill several times over the last few years. This was the low point. The nearby garage has closed, and there's no place to park nearby now that isn't at valet prices ($50-60/night plus tip). We parked in a permit zone overnight and used the morning grace period (until 9 where we were parked) to make it work on a monday morning. This is a better strategy for weekend nights when permits aren't necessary, and even during the week a first-offense ticket (about $35) costs less than a garage.

Finally, our room (320) had a wonderful view of an oil tank outside the windows and a small parking lot beyond that. This was probably our punishment for going through expedia.

At best, the Churchill is old, a little musty, and occasionally shows signs of neglect. Our toilet seat was missing a rear attachment and moved when sat upon. But the bed, shower, and hvac are always good, and we've never found the place to be noisy. It's a great location. For a night or two, that's enough. If money is no object, the Hilton across the street is a better hotel.

Great location, nice rooms though some of the furnishings have seen better days. The check-in was easy and the desk attendant was helpful. Elevators were fast. There was free coffee in the lobby in the lobby in the mornings and hot apple cider in the afternoon. There was only one thing I really didn't like - the barn door on the bathroom. It was hard to close and left a large gap between the door and the wall, so it didn't do anything to keep sound or light from the bedroom. Might as well not even have a door.

They had not \"turned on central air for the season\" yet as it was supposed to be cold the week after we were there. However, it was 80 degrees during our time there. The only way we knew this was by overhearing it being told to another guest in the lobby. Nothing was said to us upon check in. Apparently, their solution was a small fan they could provide, or we could open our windows. It was hot, and the open windows let in a ton of street noise at night. Someone outside was smoking, and that also came into our room. Poor solution. We won't stay again.

There are 3 things a hotel needs to nail the basics: A comfy bed, good wi-fi, and a hot shower.

Unfortunately, the Churchill utterly failed in the hot shower department. Even after maintenance claimed they fixed it, we never got more than lukewarm water in our 3 nights there.

Beyond that, our room was spacious but the overall fit and finish was middling -- small holes in the couch upholstery, etc. But they do get credit for good in-room coffee.

I’ve stayed here multiple times in the past and it was nice, but this time the staff was horrible. The front desk employee was watching soccer on his phone instead of helping guests and spoke rudely and loudly without basic courtesy like “please” or “thank you.”

The room wasn’t set up as promised, and when it was fixed there was no apology—just an attitude as if he was doing me a favor. Very unprofessional and disappointing.

The positives: The room was very spacious, and I liked how the toilet was separated from the sink with an actual door. I appreciated the tea and coffee in the morning, but they should add a low fat milk option. Great location for people who want to visit Adams Morgan and the surrounding area. The less positives: Double beds are too small for two adults. One of my sons ended up sleeping on the chaise lounge as a result. It's striking given that there is plenty of space for two queens. The shower has no grab bars, and there is nothing to make the shower floor less slippery when it's wet. The labels on the shampoo, body wash, and conditioner are difficult or impossible to read, especially when someone isn't wearing their glasses during a shower. Overall, however, we enjoyed our stay.

It was a quiet, clean and very elegant hotel in a nice location. Our only problem was that the heat in our room wouldn’t turn off and could not be properly adjusted so we ended up opening a window for better ventilation and cooling. Other than that it was a pleasant stay.

Also, if an area with an ice machine for guests can be added that would be very helpful.

I would definitely stay here again.

First I just have to acknowledge the beauty of the architecture, not limited to modern colonial styles homes. Whoever the interior designer is… Bravooo. My favorite part about my stay was Aurora, her welcoming and gentle nature was such a pleasure to share the same space as her. She was the only one working the front freak that evening. That particular day was very busy even for the lat hours, I was even very surprised of all the traffic coming in. I was mostly impressed how she took care of customer individually, without loosing her patience. There were a lot of high demands being requested of her from the majority of the traffic coming in.
Aurora held her composure, kept her gentle smile and proceeded to execute each task proficiently with confidence. With the satisfaction customer. Except from one elderly woman whom seem to be set in her ways. Regardless of how ruffly that woman action was. Aurora patently waited until the woman finish speaking, and said how can I help you so you can be better served. She then fulfilled the woman request as the woman grumbles and walks away. I told her I saw stewardship, her kindness, and patience for other. This is what Leadership Looks Like. She proceeded to assist me and my daughter with reservations for our room. After that long line of customer being checked in, phone ringing non stop, and demands of other. She still kept the same demeanor. This speaks volumes of her character, and the passion she has for humanity.

we arrived at the Hotel early morning and pretty much aware that check in time is not until 3pm, the receptionist gave us a mean look on why are we checking in early, and there’s a $50 fee if we do she said, which is not a problem for us since we are exhausted and tired, after we paid, her demeanor completely changed. The room was very stuffy and has a funny smell so we opened the window to get rid of the smell, the bed and pillows are very comfortable, clean and warm, the bathroom is on a small side and no place to hang your towels, the staff needs to be more welcoming and friendly. We asked for our complimentary wine on the first day and the reception staff keep telling us that it will be delivered to our room, nothing was delivered until our 3rd day my husband finally went to the front desk and ask once again , the lady at the desk reach out underneath and hand us the bottle without saying anything 😩😹 construction noise is very annoying too.

The stay was great, but it's the part after that that's not so great. I stayed for 3 nights and 2 days while attending a conference. The staff during my stay were all very nice, and I honestly had minimal interactions with them, but they were all positive. Then I checked out digitally or remote, because we left at 5 am. I was staying there as a student, so I needed a 'folio' to be able to get reinburst. As I write this, I've been on hold for an hour. Now, I have never worked in hospitality, so I'm not sure how difficult it is to compile a folio. However, this will be my third call, and I've also emailed and messaged them through Expedia with no conclusion, solution, or even response. Each time I've called, they take down my information and claim to have sent it, and I've never received it. I was very happy with my stay, though. My room was nice, the bathroom was huge, the bed was comfortable, but now that I've checked out, I don't appreciate the dissatisfying customer service I've been receiving.
