Not worth the money
We stayed at the St. Regis for 6 nights due to a business trip in the area. Not all of our experiences were negative so we can start with the positives. The entrance is beautiful. The restaurant was quite pricey (well over $300 for very small entrees for 2 people) but the food was certainly tasty. The sommelier found us a great and relatively unknown bottle of wine. The bar is great with some unique offerings (there was a martini with blackberries in it that was amazing - expensive $16 each - but amazing). There is the champagne toast at 6pm but you have to be there exactly at 6 - we were there 5 minutes after 6 one day and everything was done. The champagne was of pretty good quality. Unfortunately our positive experiences didn't extend to our room our overall stay.
 We checked in and went up to our room. Not only was is extremely disappointing for over $450 a night (very small - old furnishings- dark and dusty and smelled heavily of cigarette smoke for a non-smoking room- and this is after renovations!) then we discovered that there was an open bottle of water next to our bed that had red lipstick on it!!! We were moved to another room that was equally disappointing and even smaller! We requested a suite if available and unfortunately nothing was available at 11:30 at night. We called a few other properties including the Hilton and Westin and they were unfortunately booked. We requested the managers assistance in getting a room at their sister property. Suddenly they had a "last minute cancellation" and they were able to accommodate us in a slightly larger 1 Bedroom rather than a studio.
 This last room was much nicer. Although the regular rate was about $1250 a night and had a view of back alleys from both windows. This room I would consider staying at again but the rate is pretty outrageous for the quality you get. Even in a room this nice we had almost daily problems with housekeeping. They came into the room one time without knocking as I was coming out of the shower wearing nothing!! We complained to the manager on duty and they said they would foward the information to the housekeeping manager. Nothing else was done about it. On another occasion we came in to a mess in the bathroom including cleaning products and materials. We thought they were cleaning and would be coming back soon. Two hours later no one had appeared so we had to call again to get this resolved. These are just a few of the problems we had during our stay, including a great deal of inaccurate charges (including 2-3 parking charges of $40 each a day) and incorrect rates at check out.
 We are VERY DISAPPOINTED with our stay at the St. Regis Washington. We have had better experiences at the Capitol Hilton and at the Marriott DC. Unless you are booking one of their top suites (and even there you can't get away from their housekeeping issues), I would strongly recommend staying somewhere else!!!
