A fun stylish hotel with a very friendly staff. Rooms were a little small but my girlfriend and I were still comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by excellent restaurants and the capitol arena is a five minute walk away. I would certainly visit again next time I'm in DC.

The room at the District Hotel was ultimately fine. Arriving at the Windsor, however, to learn that my reservation had been moved to another hotel was a hassle and a runaround. Some notice about this ahead of time would have been helpful.
