The rooms are (spacious for Washington DC) clean and well lit. The service was great all around, but I want to know an exceptional experience I had, especially thanks to Matthew. Four days after I returned, I realized that I had left an item in the room. I reached out to see if they could locate it, and Matthew immediately got back to me. He found the item, helped confirm that it was indeed the item I left, and immediately put in motion a process that will allow me to get it delivered back home to me quickly. Plus, he was so polite and professional throughout. I'm so thankful and I am delighted that I'll be reunited with my item. As you know, this is the exception, not the rule when you leave something behind in a hotel. Thank you Matthew and Arlo hotel!

The check in process was efficient and kind, and my room was sufficiently comfortable: good bedding, separate seating area, and fairly quiet. However, I experienced a few issues, which included a less-than-totally-clean bathroom (someone's old contact lens was stuck to the sink surround), a very very slow old elevator, and mediocre service in the hotel restaurant, where I felt like a bother rather than a customer. As a value for the location, I'd say it's pretty good, and I would stay again, but for a little bit more money you can have a much nicer stay.

There was a variety of savory and sweet bites. - My top savory ones: crab beignet & chicken cherryaki - unique/delicious - confit duck was ok, brisket corn roll was my least favorite - Scones: liked the black sesame caramel more than lychee rose (can eat without any jam or curd) - the black sesame scone paired well with the cherry blossom jam/Devonshire cream/yuzu mint curd - Sweets: faves were yuzu strawberry tea cake, hojicha cherry opera torte, & Sakura rice shortbread - matcha tartremet & Sakura yokan were ok The snacks were super filling! Left the hotel feeling super full. I hope to experience another afternoon tea at the Waldorf Astoria!

Enjoyed a beautiful afternoon tea service here during cherry blossom season to celebrate my…read morebachelorette. 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

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were all amazing, nice and sweet. (At least the front desk…read morestaff... the lobby bar staff ehhh...). The room was nice. The shower was one I've never seen before it was super cute, and it would be even better as a staycation. I came here for a dc girls weekend, and it was in the perfect location. Easily walkable to all museums and other things in the area. A wawa was right across the street which made things a lot easier if we needed to grab something quickly. The pool area was cute. They had some pool chairs and cabanas available for guest. I went during Juneteenth weekend, and they had a band playing on Friday, then Saturday night they had a rooftop party that was cute and free to guest staying at the hotel. I had a great time here with my friend. We also browsed the lobby which has the button wall, the photo wall with the light. And some other cool stuff. Would i stay again, absolutely! The resort fee was a bit high. But that's DC for you. lol. See pics below

I booked this place last minute, and the pricing felt quite reasonable for the area…read more Upon check-in, the hotel had a lively, buzzing atmosphere. I will say that the spaces appear larger in photos than they are in reality, but it felt more cozy than cramped, which worked well for us. The room itself wasn't particularly spacious--fairly typical for DC--but we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade from a queen to a king bed. The bathroom, however, was more spacious than expected. The interiors are stylish and distinctive, with a strong purple and pink theme. There are tributes throughout the property to Ruth Bader Ginsburg and other women activists, which gives the hotel a unique personality. If that's not your preference, there are plenty of similarly priced hotels nearby--but I personally appreciated the concept. The location was a big plus. We were able to walk to most major attractions, and when needed, public transportation (bus and train) was just a 5-10 minute walk away. Food was a highlight. The shawarma wings were excellent--though I would have liked a touch more salt--and the pickled chilies and cooling yogurt-based dip were unexpected but complemented the dish very well. The burger and fries were also standout items. The happy hour burger, priced at $10, was filling and well worth it. As someone who takes potatoes seriously, I can say the fries were done right. Drinks were equally impressive. We tried a mix of wines, beers, a Negroni, and a few cocktails--all were well-executed. One minor disappointment was the handling of the "unlimited" coffee, tea, and water mentioned at check-in. While appreciated in theory, they did run out of both coffee and water during our stay. It might be more practical to have refill stations rather than distributing limited cans after advertising unlimited availability. On a positive note, they did give us a welcome nutribar at check in and there were apples to pick at the lobby, which was a nice touch. Overall, the service was excellent, with the exception of one staff interaction. However, I wouldn't judge the entire experience based on a single instance--everyone has off days. Overall, a very good stay with strong highlights in design, location, and food.

I was genuinely excited to stay at the Viceroy after patronizing other Viceroy properties in…read moreChicago and elsewhere, and typically staying nearby when in the Washington DC metro area. Logan Circle and Dupont Circle is very central to shops, great restaurants, and local LGBTQ nightlife, so it's super convenient. However, my lesser than stellar experience started upon check-in at the front desk, where I was informed they did not have the room type (Viceroy Studio King) I booked. What appeared to be a minor issue became more apparent once I entered the room... My second floor, double-bed, room was dark (only top-half windows on the second floor), and an accessible room. This meant many features provided in the Viceroy Studio King were not present: some decor, fully enclosed glass door shower, the nice green comfortable rug seen in most room pics, etc. - and some other features were added, such as a medical chair in the shower, a plastic curtain, among other selections. While it wasn't the end of the world by any means, it was not the experience I booked for a nice, relaxing stay at the Viceroy. Rather, it seemed I was provided the last available 'dud' room in the hotel that no one else wanted...when I went down to the front desk to ask for a different room - I was informed there was none other available and I could not be moved. After advocating for myself, I was begrudgingly offered that my amenity fee could be waived for the inconvenience. They also brought me an extra lamp. However, at check-out, there was no note for the waiving of the fee, and I was charged for it - luckily I noticed the charge prior to leaving and the staff was still able to refund the fee after re-explaining and advocating for myself regarding the issues experienced, yet again. Additionally, there were so few electrical outlets in the room - nothing by the desk so I couldn't plug in my laptop, and for the extra lamp, it was necessary to unplug the coffeemaker. While the front desk staff was friendly and helpful albeit with some challenges, this stay was just not what I expected given what I was looking forward to and what I had actually booked. I would still consider another stay here given the location and what I've seen from the other rooms on property and just hopefully get a different, better overall experience. Edit: post-stay, I filled out surveys that were part of routine follow-up emails from the hotel, and was informed I would hear from management regarding any issues shared. After no further response for three weeks, I reached out to the hotel once again. They simply acknowledged the frustration and nothing more. It seems that Viceroy, at least the Washington DC location, has lost what it means to be in guest hospitality. I did not have an opportunity to experience the pool as it's not open until Memorial Day. The fitness center, although small, has plenty to work with.

So, we were absolutely thrilled with our stay at this hotel…read more We usually stay around the corner on Pennsylvania Avenue, at the Melrose hotel... Which is fancier But because we were staying nine nights, it appealed to me to take a hotel that had apartment styled rooms . I don't like Airbnb, because I don't wanna be responsible for Housekeeping... But we definitely wanted to have what we thought would be a kitchenette We took a one bedroom suite, which turned out to be a fully functional one bedroom apartment... A spacious king size bedroom, normal relatively small New York style bathroom which was absolutely fine, and a full living room with the dining table and a small kitchen We utilized every aspect of that hotel, including the laundry room that was available for a small charge, Trader Joe's which was a five minute walk away, Whole Foods which was a five minute walk in the other direction, and most important... The Foggy Bottom metro station. Within 20 minutes you can be anywhere, including Ronald Reagan airport... A direct shot on the blue line For those unfamiliar with Washington DC, foggy bottom is the closest metro station to Georgetown... Which is a leisurely 10 to 12 minute walk from the hotel to the center of the and dining district. The metro couldn't be easier to use, and the people at the hotel will help you find your way if you're unsure... And remarkably... The people who work at the metro stations are also incredibly helpful and patient... Quite a change from San Francisco where I live or New York where they pretend they are an idiot if you can even find them Another thing that makes the metro system so easy to use is that you can just click your phones and do auto pay if you have Apple Pay Google pay or something similar. I don't like other cities where you need to use that to charge some type of transit card... You can just directly do it there. Our tickets, no transit cards, no nothing just in and out. Back to the hotel, the restaurant was disappointing. The appetizer we served was so much of a joke that we didn't even eat dinner there. We just went somewhere else for dinner... But... And this is a good Butt... There are many restaurants within a 15 minute walk, including some of our favorites. And because we love to eat it happy hour there are several happy hour options available, including two branches of Founding Farmers We are a bit older, so we don't stay out that late in the day, and we don't care if we eat relatively early. So we usually enjoy loading up unhappy hour and moving from there. The Melrose also does a happy hour on cocktails and a few appetizers at all again for around the corner The front desk staff was astronomical, with the front desk manager really being a superstar. We were very appreciative of the excellent service by guest services manager Brandy, and her senior receptionist Jasmine. Service was excellent all the way around, with another set of thanks going to Saif , one of the bell/ door staff It's fair to say the hotel is not fancy nor the rooms elegant... But it was just so darn perfect for our knees and we would not consider staying anywhere else Also, the Watergate hotel is a few minutes walk away, so if you wanted to do something a little fancy or camping, you can go there for a drink. We did and had a nice time. I'm not sure I would want to stay in the place. The hotel is gorgeous but the rest of the Watergate is deteriorating So, a review, thanks to Brandy and her staff, the exceptionally large accommodations, the full size apartment at a very affordable price, and the location, I can't imagine staying anywhere else It was as far away from being a "corporate "hotel as I could've imagined

I called ahead of time to get clarity on their parking and valet prices. Check-in went really well and my room was ready a little bit earlier so I was able to go up and put my things away before attending the event. I love they offer snacks and drinks right in your room if you need them but can only imagine how expensive they were. I went to a friend's room and picked up a few and started getting yelled at about not touching them and that's when I realized they were on pressurized plates. Oops. She wasn't too happy . . . . lol Elevator was a little questionable because at times you didn't need to have your key in order for it to move, and at times you did. I did like they keep your bags if your room isn't ready or after you've checked out. The room was clean and since I didn't really spend much time in it I didn't see anything out of the ordinary or unpleasant which was great. Upon check out and grabbing the car, we we were charged over $100 when we were originally quoted $69 if we stayed the night. Fees or whatever else they tacked on were astronomical and ridiculous. It irritated me somewhat because I specifically called prior to booking to ask about their parking policy and wasn't informed about the extra fees SO BE AWARE!

I say "decent" because it was still over $200 for one night. They add a $60 incidental charge upon check-in, but it will drop off. The hotel itself was gorgeous and clearly old. The kind front desk agent was able to check me in early, and she found me a room that met my requests for a quiet, high floor room away from the elevator and away from Massachusetts Ave. My room was small but perfect for one person. I brought earplugs so I didn't hear any noise overnight but when I woke up in the morning and took them out, I could hear my neighbors pretty perfectly, so that's one thing to keep in mind if you're sensitive to noise. The bed itself was comfy and the room was clean, aside from the hair dryer that was sticky and caked in hair. I left that out on the vanity in hopes that the housekeeper would clean it. They offer secure luggage storage, which is great when you want to tour around the city after check out. If you need the lobby bathroom, walk to the right past the check-in counter and then down the flight of steps. Multi-stall bathrooms are at the bottom of the steps. The lobby area also has a really comfy seating area, as well as a bar, but I did not stop at the bar while there. I wouldn't hesitate to return if the price was right.
