7.0/10

The hotel has a charming old-world vibe with an excellent location close to major attractions. While the rooms are cozy and comfortable, they could definitely use some modernization, and the air conditioning is a bit too strong. The dining options were generally good, but it's best to avoid the pricier places nearby. Overall, it's a decent value considering the conveniences offered.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were cozy but had a dated feel, and the air conditioning was quite cold. I found the furnishings somewhat old-fashioned, including the television.

Service

8.0

The staff was accommodating and friendly, offering assistance when needed. They even allowed me to charge my mobility scooter in the lobby.

Location

9.0

The hotel is ideally situated, just a few blocks from iconic landmarks like the White House and the Smithsonian. It was a quick walk to many places I wanted to visit.

Dining

7.0

Dining at Harry's was enjoyable, especially their breakfast buffet, although I'd recommend skipping Ollie's Trolley due to high prices and unsatisfactory food quality.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel has basic facilities, including dining options, but the decor could benefit from a refresh. The elevators felt small, typical of older buildings.
