Don't count on getting a room-- even if your reservation was guaranteed for late arrival!
The Hotel George is in a great location just blocks away from Union Station. Since I travel to from NY to DC by train every month, I have stayed at the George before. This trip, I was told when I arrived that there was no room for me. It was 10:00 at night and I'm a woman traveling alone on business. They did offer me a room at the Residence Inn on the other side of the city, requiring me to take a taxi. I heard several different stories as to why a room was not available, but it it was clear to me that the hotel simply oversold. If they treat a repeat customer like this, how will they treat you? The staff wasn't nearly apologetic enough.
