Really exceptional hotel for the price. We had a beautiful and comfortable corner suite, with great views of leafy Georgetown/Washington DC. We didn't eat in the hotel or use the bar as there is a wide choice of excellent breakfast/brunch and dining options nearby. The free hot drinks in reception in the morning was a nice touch. Staff were polite and welcoming and the facilities well maintained.

Staff was very pleasant. Room was fine but the thermostat was not working properly. We had to open windows to let air in because it was so hot and the temp could not be turned down. Room showed its age- the bathroom doors did not close properly and the shower was a bit worn. Wasn't bad for the price and location. Paying $72/night for parking was an unpleasant surprise and had I not checked the parking app id have been charged for 2 nites instead of one. The hotel should validate for at least a portion of the parking expense for guests.

Hotel is old and not up to standards based on the rates charged. There is rust in the bathroom, the doors do not properly close, the elevators are very slow and/or broken, the front desk is unreachable via phone unless you physically go to them, the heat was on when the outside temperatures were in the high 60's, making the room uncomfortably hot. Overall, the experience was very poor and I would not recommend or return.

One working elevator is not sufficient for a busy hotel like this. I went for breakfast on saturday morning and there was not a server working even though it was during business hours. Instead a kitchen worker/ cook came out and helped. (He was great but clearly overwhelmed) The bar should stay open past 9 on weekends. There was a flyer for in room dining in my room but when I tried to order I was told the service was not offered.

Overall, this is a lovely hotel. The restaurant serves excellent food. The room was nice and comfortable. The Lobby and bar were nice. While the accommodations were nice, it is an older facility so if you have arthiritis and/or other joint issues, be aware that the commodes are low to the ground. Also, if you are prone to keeping track of your expenses, please be sure to inquire about the amount of the deposit and the Preservation fee. We did have an issue about the way their charges showed up on our bank account. When we inquired about the charge, Kitty, could not explain it. However, when we mentioned it to Liz, she was very helpful and expeditious in keeping us informed. The charges did drop off as Liz surmised. We really like this hotel and will stay again. We hope that they have better price transparency especially on their website and with their third-party hotels as well as adequate training for their receptionists when explaining the aforementioned issue. I must add that our issue was not isolated. There were a couple of people ahead of us who experienced the exact same issue. We had a great time despite the government shutdown. Thank you to Liz Morel and Ninette, to Sofiane A. who delivered our breakfast and to Omar F. our dinner server and Simone D. our bartender! Each of you enhanced our stay! See you next time!

The Air Conditioning in the room is not working. The technician came in and said “Air Conditioning will not work because the temperature outside is dropping”. I don’t know how they both are linked. They opened up the windows and gave me a fan, which is just terrible. I don’t know which hotel do this, but it’s literally the worst way you can treat your guest with.

First time staying at a “historical hotel of America” and I have to say… I was rooting for more. Dissapointed at the lack of actual preservation of the space. Too much of a modern aesthetic and very little antique environment. The most antique thing in the hotel was the carpet!! And not in a good way- it was way too old and stained. I also came across a cockroach on the bathroom floor. A pretty big one at that. The view wasn’t much either and the windows were filthy. The bed seemed clean. The room over all had an ok feel to it, with basic cleaning at the surface but if you really paid attention there needed to be some deep cleaning done. Over all pretty bummed that my first time at a historical hotel wasn’t a great experience. The workers were very nice and courteous. They made my stay more comfortable. Thank you staff!
