Some issues.
This historic hotel is just blocks from Dupont Circle. The rooms were moderately large, and the bathroom was quite spacious. This is an old hotel and the tile in the bath floor was worn, but totally serviceable. Bed was comfortable and clean, but this room is not setup particularly well for business travelers (few outlets, no desk). 
Big concerns: One of the wing chairs was stained on the seat in an alarming pattern and the upholstery was coming apart on one side. I threw the bed scarf over the chair and didn't sit on anything that wasn't covered by a clean sheet. Of most concern was the toothpaste mark on the shelf over the toilet, and the splatter marks on the walls in the bath. I don't think my expectations are too high when I ask that I not be reminded that others have recently brushed their teeth before me. This lack of attention to detail made the cleanliness of the entire bath suspect. 
Big plus: Had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and the staff was amazingly nice and hustling to get food to you fast. Quality was very, very good. Onsite valet parking is nice, and $39/day is a bargain in DC.
