I have noticed that hotels put you in the worst room on the worst floor when using Expedia. This hotel did the same for us, which is frustrating giving that it’s empty and they easily could’ve given us a room that wasn’t on the second floor in the corner of the hotel.

The most frustrating part of the Hotel experience was the bed was absolutely terrible, lopsided, and uncomfortable.

I made a mistake. Trusting this Hotel brand to be equivalent to other five star hotels. The comfort was terrible. The hotel staff were neutral to unhelpful.

I would strongly recommend not staying at this hotel, and I personally would be very reluctant to trust this brand again

We loved our stay at the property, but would not say that it is comparable to other five star hotels like The Plaza in NYC. There was no doorman or porter to assist with transportation or luggage which is normally something that makes our stay so much easier. The room was well appointed and the linens were luxurious and bed was very comfortable. Our room was very quiet- even in a very busy part of town. Our package came with free breakfast for two and a bottle of wine. We did not get the bottle of wine upon check-in and I had to ask for it the second day when I realized it was included. The on-site restaurants for both breakfast and dinner were disappointing. Three out of the four times that we dined in them there here was no host at the stand and the one time that there was they were on their phone texting. The weight staff rarely came back to check on food quality or to see if we needed anything else during our meals. This took away from the overall experience of the hotel.

If you’d like a 5 star experience, at least stay at the Ritz. This is a 3star hotel at most. The property has seen better days and needs to be updated and better maintained ( dirty scuffed elevators, chipped furniture, outdated rooms). Service was poor, barely any staff, valet never at his post.
We checked out halfway thru our stay and booked another hotel. The only good thing was that they didn’t charge us for the rest of the stay, that was much appreciated.

Definitely think this hotel should be labeled 3 or 4 stars instead of 5. How wore down it looks in like the elevators and certain places. Staff super friendly though! Love free the coffee and unique selection of teas but that area was always quite messy and no trash can to throw away items in that area even though I brought it to their attention prior that the trash can was missing.. not sure if its worth 40 dollar a day amenity fee prob wont stay at this location in the future

Every staff member we interacted with seemed completely disinterested in the guests. The woman at the front desk put us in one of the absolute worst rooms and didn’t explain how to reach the room which was on the second floor behind some doors that looked like big brown swinging kitchen doors.

Excellent location and a few blocks walking distance to the White House. We were tired and hungry upon check-in and didn't want to leave the premise to look for a place to eat. We were both pleasantly surprised to discover the on-site restaurant at the front entrance. We checked in on a weekday and were able to get a table without a reservation. The restaurant had a French style bistro ambiance and the food and cocktails were delicious. Our reservation included a bottle of wine, which we didn't get initially and had to call in as a reminder. Right away staff apologized and sent up our bottle of wine. Overall, a pleasant experience and five stars for location.

Super clean, very quiet, nice-sized room and bath. Wonderful, easily walkable central location close to the Metro. Friendly and customer-centric staff. The mattress felt like it was end-of-life (or needed to be rotated?), but the linens and topper made it comfortable enough. Don't bother with the in-room coffee, as it's pretty awful, but excellent fresh-brewed coffee is available in the lobby reception area. Overall, it was decent value for the price point, and I'd recommend it.

Loved the property. Bed was super comfortable. Location was amazing. Room is soundproof. Staff is really nice with exception of the guy in the restaurant that treated us so weird the first night that we didn’t come back the other 3 nights. Instead we just walked across the street.

We were there for a day event and we were famished every night when we got home. He acted like we were lost when we came to see if we could get a seat and then the second night fully ignored us. Oh well…

Otherwise everyone was so wonderful. Especially the guys at the reception desk and our housekeeper. Our room was cleaned so well when we came back every day. It was immaculate. And we always had fresh water stocked.

This property was incredible! The location, cleanliness, and attention of the staff was beyond expectations. The room was filled with amenities - hair dryer, iron, toiletries, water, cappuccino machine and the list goes on. The staff was super friendly and VERY helpful. The room was very clean and serviced every day. My only issue with the hotel was the cost of breakfast. We ate in the dining room one morning, I completely understand paying premium cost for a french meal but scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, oatmeal, and coffee should not cost $78.99. Not french eggs, not prepared a different way, no special oatmeal.. plain American food.. That was an unnecessary cost.

They put me above their live jazz band. Apparently you have to pay extra to be able to sleep. If this place was cheap, I'd get it. But not for this price. They moved me to a \"quieter\" room (it wasn't quiet) and the new furniture smelled of new leather. The smell was so strong, it was all over the sheets and pillows. The smell woke me up through the night, it was so strong. And there were other...questionable smells on the bed.

I left several nights early because I couldn't take it. This place is atrocious.

Let me start by saying I would stay here again. There were just little things that made the stay less than a five star stay. First I went to DC with a total of five people elderly ladies. I contacted the hotel directly before I arrived to discuss the three room’s I booked. I wanted them on the same floor, next to one another would be ideal, but I get it. They told me that since I booked through a third party they could not accommodate that request. So we ended up on three different floors. Next we pre-purchased breakfast each day. The woman server in the breakfast room was great, friendly and fantastic. The gentlemen, need some work on customer service. We had $180 to spend each day for breakfast, what ever the total, I gave the rest to the wait staff in a tip. So we ended up tipping really well each day, no need for subpar treatment. It’s awful that my mom wanted a glass of water but did not want to bother the waiter because he was irritated she wanted something else.
Hotel bed was very comfortable, room was clean, cleaning staff excellent, free waters daily and coffee. Refrigerator was present but not very cold. Water pressure not great.
Location could not be better for attractions. Was central to most things we wanted to do.
All in all it was a fantastic stay, we all enjoyed our time there.

We were also double charged for parking and they wouldn’t credit us for it without a receipt emailed to them, but we never received a receipt. we showed them the charge on our credit card app, but that wouldn’t suffice. Again, for such a nice hotel you would think they would just credit it.

It is a very beautiful hotel that is very easily accessible by metro and easy access to basically all of our points if interests (smithsonians, parks, museums, etc). I would say the immediate area in any direction for like 2-3 city blocks is pretty safe (it was just my best friend and I, two women traveling) - there a police car posted on a corner every single day at all hours which gave a sense of security. However, after the 2-3 city blocks, one of the directions had a bunch of homeless tents. Nothing at all compared to skid row here in LA, but still a significant amount.
Hotel staff was amazing and very accommodating, we ended up with a lot of leftovers that we were able to refrigerate, but there was no microwave that came with our room. We asked the the staff if there was anywhere we could microwave, and they dropped off a microwave! Also, they offered complimentary bottles of water, that was very nice.
Loved the hotel, very clean, very accommodating. They have books available if you want to read at night because most everything closes rather early in that area and surrounding area (like 9pm or earlier) so if you're a night owl, you'll have to travel further (but I would not recommend metro anymore - for safety reasons).

The room configuration was very strange. It seemed to be designed for a single ASA person. Thank goodness I packed ear plugs because the bed was at the door and the door would rattle and you could hear anyone walking down the hall or opening/closing their door. The A/C would constantly switch on and off loudly throughout the night. The TV was positioned over a desk that was not viewable from the bed or the couch. Never watched. The bathroom had a single sink but two showers and a tub. Just weird. Also, the bed only had a bottom sheet and a duvet. No duvet cover or top sheet. Hover, the bed was comfortable and the room overall was clean.
