    The Hamilton Hotel is across the street from Franklin Park. Metro is about a block away. Don't confuse this place for The Hamilton Restaurant (about 3 blocks away). The lobby is comfy. The staff are proactive and nice. They led us to areas instead of just pointing where to go. We attended an event in the Schuyler Room. It is a great meeting area. The food looked better than it tasted. It was a sad meal. The salad was mostly lettuce with a few thinly sliced cucumbers and a handful of radishes. The best part of the salad was the lemon vinaigrette. There were two entree choices: Smelly fish or watery rice, masquerading as risotto. Dessert was the best item. The location is conveniently located to downtown DC, shopping and restaurants. You can walk to the White House or mall.

    We had a nice stay at The Hamilton while we visited the museums and monuments. The room was comfortable with a King-sized bed with adequate space to walk around. There were electrical plugs on the base of the lamp on the nightstand, and the desk had a built-in strip with plugs including USB. The bathroom had body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion as well as a hairdryer. There was an iron & ironing board in the closet. Don't confuse the mini-bar with the mini-fridge. The mini-bar has drinks and snacks on the top, which are sensor activated so if you move them, you will be charged. The staff was very nice and the lady who checked us in was very helpful with maps and directions. We had several hours before our flight on check-out day, and they held our luggage for us while we did more touristy things. The hotel is close to the museums. You could walk or take the bus. There's several bus stops across the street and it's about one-and-a-half blocks to the Metro station.

    The website photos are very misleading. Majority of hotel and lobby has a weird smell. Please see the pictures below of Room. Would not recommend.

    Black mold in the sink

    Stayed here for 2 nights in April 2026. While the hotel's age could account for some things like outdated outlets and bathroom appliances, there is no reason for any establishment to be in this level of disrepair. From the "dirty laundry" smell that permeated our room, to the visible mold and dirt, I wouldn't even recommend this place to someone on a tight budget. The price point and the photos of the restaurant and lobby make this place seem like the upper level of the mid-range of boutique hotels, but I've had a cleaner room and better service at a Holiday Inn express. Carpets and furniture in the lobby were filthy and old. The one redeeming quality is the proximity to amenities, and the view of Franklin park.

    I left an item in the room, called immediately, and after a wild goose chase I didn't get it back. The situation was handled unprofessionally and there was poor communication at every level that left a bad taste in my mouth. My experience was truly terrible, and it's ground enough for me to strongly recommend against trusting this hotel with your stay.

    Photo of filthy vent.

    Absolute dump! I would stay at this place is the paid me. Rooms are dilapidated, run down and filthy dirty. The vent in the bathroom was filled with visible mold and dust. Disgusting! See the photo. I cannot believe this place hasn't been shut down by the health department.

    Broken curtain holder

    Absolutely a horrible hotel. First off, the curtain in the bathroom was completely missing. I was completely exposed using the toilet or showering. Second, the bathtub drain was broke. Third, the carpet was disgustingly. Do not stay here.

    The Hamilton Hotel is located in a great spot in Downtown DC. Only blocks from the White House and one block to a Metro station. We chose this hotel as we are big fans of the TV show, Veep, and they have a suite themed after it. The suite contains several props from the show which was very fun for us as fans. The suite consisted of a bedroom, bathroom, living room and entry hallway and was on the upper floor of the hotel. The view was on Franklin Park and the Washington Monument in the distance. During our stay we enjoyed the clean room, beautiful historic look and feel of the hotel, and the location. We had an issue with our tub not draining, but it was fixed quickly once we mentioned it. The room was stocked with fresh towels daily and was clean. Some people need to be reminded what a historic hotel experience can be like and what their expectations need to be. That being said, we enjoyed our time here and would consider it again for future trips.

    So nobody talks about how their is no place to park? And how it's 59$ valet only? I'm just asking…

    There's a great self park garage on the same block - pay ahead of time with SpotHero and spend a fraction of that cost.

Manisha and Prashsant, owners of Stone Manor Inn, were personally involved in making sure all went smoothly with our cocktail and dinner party, and it most certainly did! SMI is a lovely old country inn on 14 acres, I believe, with a number of different venues (indoors and out) for meetings, parties, and weddings. The rooms (7 in total) were eclectic, in a good way. All four of their largest rooms that we occupied were spacious, with king beds and spa tubs with separate showers. All were well maintained and clean upon check-in. We had no complaints.

I was on the fence to book this place given its hefty price tag, and glad I went for it and completely agree with the glowing 5 star reviews. The bubbly host Manisha is very warm and welcoming. She cordially gave us a 20 min tour around the property, which was built in 1908, and even gave me a bonus tour of the other rooms afterwards. She kindly answered all of our questions and didn't rush us. The Peacecock Room is the most spacious and best room (aside from the bridal suite), elaborately decorated in peacocks. We loved it! The little touches like the handmade soap, a set of wine glasses, and a wine opener made the stay so memorable and special. While the rooms aren't temperature controlled, the electric flameless fireplace kept the room warm. The double capacity jacuzzi was perfect for my hubby and I and even had lights (some of the other rooms have smaller jacuzzi, so be sure to check). The rooms were clean minus a couple of lady bugs and stink bugs (which is too be expected out in the country). Dr. Fauci's assistant stayed here and Manisha informed us of the extensive sanitation process, even the pillows and decorations are quarantined for 6 days! The backyard is well groomed and really spacious with a nice patio and heat lamp, which kept us warm sitting outside in the frigid winter. Our dog loved running around! You can see the stars and constellations really well. It would make a great wedding venue! The Christmas decorations around the property are really nice. The owners really go the extra mile and put a lot of TLC into the property. The 6 course breakfast is delicious and bursting with flavor. Between the veggie quiche, cheesy potatoes, scone, pancakes, yogurt, and fresh OJ, I was stuffed! The fresh butterscotch scone was divine and devoured my mine and my hubby's! The cheesy potato had a nice spicy kick. Everything was so fresh and delicious. All the courses come out at once on a large tray. While my hubby and I chose to sit at the communal table (the chairs are roughly 6 feet apart), you can take the tray up to your room. Manisha and her family greeted us and thoroughly explained the dishes and chatted with us for a bit, even her son made an appearance! The bed and breakfast has a nice bar with wine, cider, and alcohol based on an honor code system. Water and soda is complementary, they even had Coke 0! The complementary fudgy brownies by the breakfast area during the day were sweet and tasty. Again the little complimentary stuff gives this bed and breakfast a nice resort feel. Very relaxing stay and looking forward to coming back!

He ordered his meals, sat comfortably, enjoyed his time, and never once felt awkward or out of place. The staff made sure he had what he needed, checked in on him naturally, and created an environment where he felt completely at ease. As a parent, that level of care is something you never forget. For me, the experience was just as special. Corey, the bartender, was exceptional. Each evening, he made sure I had exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it, and engaged in thoughtful, easy conversation that made the space feel welcoming and safe. It wasn't just service--it was connection, and it made a long, tiring trip feel restorative. This hotel doesn't just deliver luxury--it delivers humanity. The staff understands how to read people, how to make guests feel comfortable, and how to create an atmosphere where everyone feels like they belong. I've stayed in many beautiful hotels, but this experience stands apart because of how we were treated as people. Thank you to the entire team--and especially Corey--for making this such a memorable stay. We will absolutely be back.
