Excellent location, excellent accommodations
The Intercontinental is a first-class luxury style hotel with large rooms, comfortable beds and a large bathroom (which made life much easier for the wife and I during our weekend stay there). The White House is literally two blocks away and the museums, Washington Monument , National Mall and many fine restaurants (Old Ebbitt Grill, the Lafayette, CEIBA and Zatinya, among others) are within walking distance. The service was very good, although my only complaint was with the housekeeping staff as the toilet was not as clean as it should have been upon checking in and some vanity items (shampoo and conditioner) were not in the bathroom. These discrepancies were corrected quickly upon request, however, so I decided not to dock them a point in the review. Every other aspect of our stay was superb and we will definitely consider staying at this fine hotel when we travel to D.C.
