Tired, Very Tired!
We spend 5 days at L'Enfant Plaza for a conference, Let me tell you, this place is tired and in need of a massive upgrade! Take the check-in area, there is a huge column in the middle with patrons endeavoring to find where to stand. Folks behind the counter were not helpful nor appeared interested in checking in guests. That is where it started...once in the room, noted the sliding closet door was off its hinges, squeaked horribly from rust and had a crack in the glass. That night, the air conditioning stopped functioning--granted the hotel maintenance crew after a few hours fixed it, but please, a bit of preventative maintenance? OK, so then the toilet (circa 1970s) stopped working--albiet we figured that out ourselves and fixed that issue. On our fifth day, we checked out, waiting 30 minutes for a bellman to assist with our luggage! The location of this place, other than proximity to East Potomac Park (very nice!) is not in our minds "redeeming". There are no nice places to eat in walking distance other than the food court (not bad for fast food--Roti is very good). Stay somewhere else! OK, one good thing, the breakfast buffet is very good, so if you do decide to stay here, make sure it's included in the room rate or you will pay $20 for it! Enjoy!
