Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The hotel is incredibly old which isn’t a huge issue given its good geographical location and proximity to the metro. My biggest gripe was that the room was visibly dirty, the carpets hadn’t been vacuumed in quite some time, we found stains on our bed sheets, and the the back room and shower had some unpleasant stains on the floors and walls. There is also a historic preservation fee which is not refundable, but I could have completely overlooked it if the building was clean and properly maintained.
Hotel was very nice and clean.Easy access for metro and getting around.The staff was exceptionally nice and accommodating.Our stay in Washington DC was a wonderful experience.
