This hotel is a gem, not to mention its amazing restaurant, lounge, and bar. It has been a Washington, DC legend for decades. My room was so beautiful, high-ceilinged, spacious, furnished with old but comfortable sofas. The bathroom was old, a bit creaky, but functional and charming. I loved that it lacked a TV, phone, or radio. Look: this hotel is not for you if you seek the latest modern comforts. There are no elevators and there are some stairs to climb. Forget about a gym. What looks old and delightful to me might seem shabby to you. But if you seek peaceful, old-world coziness and charm, you will adore this hotel as much as I do. It is a DC treasure!
