not to be experienced
Not to be repeated
We booked with a package deal. When checking into the hotel we were given a room with two beds that could only sleep one person. (we are a married couple) When we asked about a room with a queen bed we were told that since we booked with ***, that was the only room type we could have. The breakfast buffet was $19 per person and was average at best. Other diners were given coupons for free breakfast on check in. At the end of our stay the desk clerk asked how we liked our stay and we told him we would not be coming back and his response was "okay." Certainly not the type of service we were used to.

Location, location, location!
My wife and I went to DC for a quick President's day weekend getaway. The L'enfant hotel was perfect because of its location. It's steps away from the Smirhsonian Castle and the National Mall. We were able to walk all over. The cool thing is that there is a Metro stop right beneath the hotel that is just 4 stops away fom DCA! Awesome! I would've rated this hotel higher if it wasn't because there is no free wireless, bummer. Overall, quite good.

Excellent, close to the attractions
Pros: Excellent hotel, very clean, excellent bed, balcony, close to the attractions, great restaurants, metro station very close Cons: No free WiFi Stayed here two nights when visitng DC. The hotel & room were excellent, for the price we paid in Dec'11 ($99), it was amazing. The room (with king bed) had a walkout balcony & an excellent view of the Washington monument. There are apparently other rooms that have better views of the national mall. The hotel is walking distance to all the attractions, has a good restaurant & bar. There's also a small shopping mall with a food court downstairs from the hotel. The metro station is very close. Valet parking was a bit pricey but worth it for not having to worry about finding a spot. The reason I didn't give this 5stars is that there was no free WiFi. However, will recommend this without hesitation. Great place.

Washinton DC
Motel was close to all the attractions and Metro. Clean. Not a lot of amenities. Had to pay for any wifi or computer access. food expensive at the motel but there was a food court with ok prices just below the motel near the metro. These closed early and had to eat at the motel most nights if out all day seeing the sites. The Metro station within the motel was a plus. Easy and affordable transportation to any of the city. close enough to walk to the smithsonian and monuments.

Washington weekend getaway
This was our second stay at L'Enfant Plaza Hotel. We plan our stay on Friday & Saturday nights when the rates are lower. This hotel is a great value for Washington. L'Enfant is located right on the National Mall, so much of Washington is with in walking distance. A night time stroll down the National Mall was the highlight of our stay. The hotel is clean, everything works and the staff is very helpful. The restaurant on site is OK, we opted for a taxi ride downtown for dinner the second night.

Hotel was perfectly situated to all visitor locations! Rooms were very clean, with plenty of extra bedding and towels. Food was rather expensive, but very good. Most of the staff was very helpful.

There's a CVS in the mall under the hotel. Snacks and sodas are much cheaper! There's also a McDonald's down there!
