    kitchenette in double queen room
    Ashley M.

    This hotel is great! It's clean and the staff is super friendly. There is delicious water, coffee, tea, and hot cocoa for refreshments available 24/7, which was much appreciated. They also serve a pretty great continental breakfast, which was great for our family! The room (2 queen beds) was spacious and had a kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and fridge. This helped save money on food and drinks during our stay! They had quality products in the bathroom. The beds were decent, although a little hard for my preferences. Overall, the stay was great! While the area was safe, the neighborhood lovely, and the hotel located close to the US Capitol and far end of the National Mall, it's not the most happening area. You may want to stay northeast of the National Mall if you want more nightlife options (although there were a few restaurants a short walk on Pennsylvania Ave). Also, it's only a 5 minute walk or so to the subway, which is great. Overall, a great hotel with helpful staff, good amenities, and clean! Would recommend!

    Moldy bathroom showers. Probably because there are no fans or ventilation in the bathroom/ closet area. And you cannot even use the bathroom sink. Your hands do not fit under the faucet. The hallways and lobby are not air conditioned which cause each room doors to stick and have to forced open. The staff were nice and friendly which was the only positive. Would not recommend anyone to stay here.

    This hotel was a fine choice for a work trip to DC. I used to live in DC in the Capitol Hill area so I knew I wanted a hotel close to all my favorite places, but there honestly weren't that many options! It was a nice stay for the most part, but it doesn't feel like a typical hotel. Mainly because the main lobby is in a separate building than half of the rooms and then the breakfast is in the opposite building. Very odd. Breakfast was just straight up bad. I opted for oatmeal my first morning (instant packaged oatmeal) and grabbed some granola bars for snacks but otherwise didn't set foot back in there. Also the only options for bowls were also paper bowls? Super weird and feels so cheap for the price of the hotel. There are so many better options for bagels or pastries and actual good coffee just steps away in eastern market. The room and bed itself were comfortable and the location really was excellent. I couldn't figure out how to work the TV and there weren't any instructions and the towels were barely big enough to wrap around me so it just felt sloppy for such an expensive hotel. The staff was nice so I probably could have asked for help with the TV but just didn't think it was worth it for the amount of time I spent in my room, seeing I was out for most of the day. I will probably try another hotel next time I'm in town but it's a real bummer because this location is just so good.

    Found the hotel through Google! A very convenient and affordable spot to stay. Walking distance to the Mall, the Capitol and a lot of dining options. The room was very comfortable and well appointed, the staff couldn't have been nicer. If I were to criticize anything a better coffee bar in the room would be it. Breakfast was included, although we didn't partake. I heard it was a nice buffet. We looked at a lot of hotels that were outrageous lot priced for this trip. I have to say this one was an excellent value for the price! We will stay here again!

    Doorway is too small for a walker to fit safely through to the bathroom.

    Very nice hotel. We had a suite with two queen beds, dining area with table and chairs, sitting area and full kitchen. A walker can't fit through the door to the bathroom, which made it challenging to use. However, we needed a handicapped bathroom, but those rooms were not as nice. Also, no seats in the shower so not well it for us. We didn't think it was worth changing since the cost was the same as the full kitchen suite.

The vibes are opulent- the Peacock Alley is located in the grand lobby, which is massive and airy with a glass ceiling overhead to let in tons of natural light. A harpist also set the mood beautifully, but they didn't stay for very long- they maybe stayed about 30 minutes past our 3:30pm tea appointment. Tea services are offered at 12:00 noon and 3:30pm. The central cherry blossom tree is the showstopper, and the main reason I chose the Waldorf for our afternoon tea. I had heard that there are several cherry blossom-themed afternoon teas all over DC that may have better food options, but this was the only one with decor this grand. My main concern was with our seating. I had called ahead of time to ask if they could accommodate my group to have a close seating location close to the cherry blossom tree due to our special occasion. The staff assured me during two separate calls that they would be able to accommodate our request, but upon getting seated, we were seated in the far corner by the bar. It is true that there is a fair view of the cherry blossom tree everywhere in the lobby, but I was disappointed at our far vantage point given the fact that I had called to confirm a close spot to the cherry blossom tree twice in advance. This is because I wanted to originally schedule the premium experience (premium seating, champagne, and fine china), but it was not available to groups larger than 4 and we were a group of 6. The service was otherwise perfectly fine and the portions of food were generous and tasty. We were all definitely full after finishing our savory bites. Our collective favorites were the chicken cherryaki and crab beignet bites, but we all appreciated the diverse offerings. We also had a friend with a peanut allergy dining with us, and they accommodated her easily by separating her pastries onto a separate tiered tray. It looks like the only item with a possible nut allergen was the crab beignet (her version had tofu). Despite the mild issues with seating, the experience was gorgeous. As a cherry blossom lover, I can see myself doing this every time I'm back in town. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Service: 4/5 - Food: 4/5

The room was clean and up to par for its grade. However the experience at the lounges for dinner and breakfast leaves something to desire. Let's start with the dinner experience. We ordered a number of dishes - a lamb rack and wings, a goat cheesecake and 2 drinks for a party of 2. The food was good but nothing to write home about. I removed a star because of the service. Our main waitress was ok but was way too stretched. What really tipped the scale was when we requested a steak knife, the waiter went to the drawer, picked up a knife then ran his bare fingers along the sides. Alternatively, he could've taken a napkin to do so, minding the hygiene issue of his bare hands. The redeeming factor was the response of the manager - he responded attentively and professionally and that was appreciated. The second experience at the lounge was a breakfast for 4. The service was slow and chaotic. They preferred buffet but we opted for à la carte. In fairness, we were given warning that it might take a little bit of time but we chose it as we were not in a hurry. However the wait time to be seated was super long. They didn't open the marina room for the amount of guests and the lobby was overflowing with both people waiting to be seated and those waiting for check in/check out service. They ended up having to extend breakfast time in order to accommodate the guests. May need to visit staffing and operating hours.

That jetted tub was supposed to earn its keep. The room: genuinely beautiful. The technology: aggressively dated. The vibe: a 90s time capsule, complete with missing doorknobs. There was effort here, but it felt like the hotel was holding its breath, afraid any real investment might trigger the next recession. What they got right: The bellhops were fantastic. Warm, personable, fun. Truly the highlight. Most staff we interacted with were polite and willing to help, which made the gaps elsewhere even more confusing. What they got wrong (beyond the dated room and tech): For a hotel that loudly advertises luxury service, the customer experience fell flat. Outside of the arrival bowl of fruit, nothing felt elevated. Night two, we ordered pizza and planned a cozy Home Alone movie night. The technology made streaming impossible. Fine, cable it is. We called the concierge and asked for two plates. Just two. The answer was a flat no. We were told to walk down to the lobby restaurant and see if they might have plates "to spare." I'm sorry, what? The next morning, room service arrived... with someone else's order. It was corrected, but for a luxury hotel, that kind of miss is surprising. Housekeeping came through, but only halfway. The coffee and minibar were never restocked. In a suite. At a luxury hotel. This is table stakes. At 9:30 PM we stopped by the lobby circle bar. It was immediately clear the bartenders did not want to be there. I get it, service work is hard. Still, opening our interaction by warning us about last call at 11 set a strange tone. By 10:00, one bartender disappeared for 45 minutes. No refills. No check-in. No bill. Breaks are important. Coverage is also important, especially when you're selling a premium experience. Beyond the bellhops, much of the staff felt irritated to be present. Front desk to concierge, the energy was less "historic luxury hotel" and more "counting down the minutes." The hotel was also clearly prioritizing weekend tea and brunch revenue, to the point that the historic lobby was clogged with extra tables and largely unusable for actual hotel guests. Bottom line: this was not a luxury experience, and I would not recommend it. I'm only posting this publicly because I reached out directly to hotel management and never received a response. At that point, a review feels necessary.
