Classic Elegance
Because of its history, elegance, service and charm this hotel deserves the "excellent" rating. Just back from a 5 day, 4 night stay. Superb location, a walkable 5 blocks to the White House. Almost everythings is a $9 to $12 taxi ride away. We were upgraded to an executive suite (room 583) which was spacious and clean. Superlative customer service with every employee we encountered. The AC did seem to have a little trouble keeping up at times during the unseasonably hot weekend, and the building is a bit older (that might turn some off). However, it is well maintained, and still shows the grandeur of an earlier time.
