This property was perfect location and size wise as a solo traveler. I felt safe and everything was easily accessible. The room could have benefitted from a more attentive clean. I found hairs in the bed and handprints all over the windows.

Breakfast was overpriced for what it was, but edible if you are in a rush.

Staff was excellent, room was comfortable and while there has been some upgrades, it definitely still shows its age (even as a historic hotel, I think things could have been fixed up a bit nicer inside, instead of looking more like things were patched over). Was in a great spot for my visit, and a short 10 minute walk to Dupont Station for seeing other things too.

I was very disappointed in The ChurchHill. The staff was not helpful, even cutting me off and not even looking up to answer my question of when check out time was. My room was never cleaned and towels Were not replaced on my fifth day, even though the room was available from 9:30 am- 11:30pm. I found the staff quite rude to guests. The hotel has no amenities other than some coffee in the morning. I wish I had stayed at another hotel.

The property is vintage based. Not much for amenities though. No pool, so tub, parking is valet only and costs $70 a night. The restaurant had a nice tv with cable, but the tv in the room had minimal channels. There is a restaurant, but its over priced and the items, I thought were too fancy. I just wanted a burger. When I was there, there was a lot of construction in front of the property.

I was getting ready for my day when I discovered there was only one washcloth in the room. When I contacted the front desk, the staff member who was an older black woman with a wig and glasses on attempted to place the responsibility on housekeeping. She stated that she called housekeeping around 12:45 p.m. to bring additional washcloths to my room. I had plans and needed to be dressed and ready by 1:30 p.m.

Unfortunately, no one ever brought the washcloths. I called the front desk again, but the matter still was not handled with urgency or professionalism.

Later that evening, I asked a hotel security staff member for washcloths, and he was able to provide me with two immediately. This was confusing to me because, in my experience, hotel front desk staff are usually able to provide extra washcloths and towels upon request.

Additionally, I asked another staff member if there was a microwave available to heat up my food since there were no microwaves in the guest rooms. He kindly opened a room where the microwave was located, but while inside, I saw a rat run across the floor.

What was most concerning was that the staff appeared completely unfazed by the situation, which gave the impression that this may have been a normal occurrence.

Overall I really did not care for my stay and will never return.

The bed was comfortable and the room (410) was quiet and spacious. Shower was a walk-in type (no tub) which was good, but the type of soap used made the floor quite slick. Initially there was a problem with the TV (loose cable which we fixed temporarily but should be looked at by the staff). Also, the right side of the blackout drape was extremely difficult to open or close.

The staff were absolutely wonderful. Helped with an early check-in, gave great recommendations for area attractions and restaurants, and were all-around friendly and welcoming. The building is obvi an historical one and the hotel interior and design reflects this. The room (a standard double) was incredibly comfortable. I slept very well both nights. The decor was inviting and held to the vibe of the hotel. Gorgeous hallways (weird observation, but the lighting choices and molding were divine!). In-room fridge, nice size bathroom, excellent room size for two people, and I loved the additional space for the writing desk, which we used as a vanity. My tween niece was enchanted with the entire hotel and, really, so was I. I will absolutely stay again should I visit in the future.

Such a fabulous and luxurious charming boutique hotel! The beds were heavenly, the lighting and mirrors available were helpful and created a lovely vibe.

We didn't get a chance to try to breakfast and lounge though enjoyed a photo shoot in the lounge which worked for our weekend. It's located close to the heart of Dupont Circle so plenty of places to nosh and enjoy. Deborah and her team were so gracious, helpful with an emergency early check in request, and thoughtful. We'll definitely stay here again when spending the night in DC.

The supervisor on the front desk was terrible, she’s not nice and very rude. She needs to learn how to welcome guest in a friendly way!! My husband was very upset with her because at first we asked her if we can check in early because we had plans and the way she responded was very off and that makes my husband very angry and so they got into a heated argument. She even asked where we parked our car and we need to pay for the fee without even asking if we already had a parking spot booked outside, we just need to park for a few minutes to unload our stuffs and bring inside our room because we already booked a parking garage close to the hotel but it takes us an hour to finished checking in because we changed room thrice due to very loud AC fan and the room smells really bad. But after we settled and finally finished checking in, she then apologized about how she treated us during our stay. Despite what had happened earlier, the engineer that checked our AC was very kind and polite.

Honestly, for the difference in price compared to the Washington Hilton (that was right across the street and where my conference was taking place), I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't pick this place. Only downsides were slow wifi (just barely above 1 Mbps on average!), one of the two elevators out of order during my stay(yet never really waited long to catch it), and the restaurant/bar not functional one night (wife having a baby, I heard....that's more important!), and nasty road construction going on (not the hotel's fault), I really enjoyed my stay. Very quiet and nostalgic, and in a great location. I will be back if ever coming back to the area! Great value. Friendly staff!

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.!

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.

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.
