Our stay was 3 nights. The property is beautiful and the staff are warm and welcoming. We loved that the hotel is a very short walk to the White House- you can see it from the hotel. We walked to the Washington Monument and the Museum of Natural History from the hotel. We had our 8 year-old son with us and therefore utilized Lyft for excursions beyond a mile or two round trip. Make no mistake though - this hotel is in a terrific location for sight-seeing, especially for 1st times to DC like the three of us. Turn-down service, several staff on the door every time we came and went, impeccable house-keeping, assistance with everything (FRIENDLY Valets and Bellhops). At some 5-star hotels, you get the sense that you are being humored (at times even tolerated) for the sake of a tip. This is not the feeling we had at The Jefferson. To the contrary, the ladies and gentlemen who helped us seemed genuinely nice. I cannot say enough great things about the hotel and its staff. The reason for a star deduction is because of the sleep quality. We stayed in a double queen and the bed seemed a little short. I am 6'03" and found myself lying diagonally on the bed in order to "fit". Also, the mattress was too firm for our liking. Last, there are 3 pillow types among the 10 pillows - 4 VERY firm LARGE pillows, 4 King VERY soft pillows, and 2 throw pillows. None of which were comfortable. So much to love about The Jefferson. Just not the beds/pillows.
