The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time on our visit to DC, staying 2 nights at the Henley. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a welcoming door man who helped me unload our luggage and park our vehicle quickly and efficiently. Our check in was flawless and all of our interactions with the staff was pleasant and professional. Our room was fantastic; spacious, relaxing and relatively quiet for being in the heart of the city. We enjoyed two breakfasts at the Henley, and both times our server was attentive and kind and both of our breakfasts were delicious, filling, and reasonably priced. Access to the National Mall was easy and lovely; walking past the St. Patrick's church, Ford's Theater, the FBI building, and the Department of Justice. I would definitely recommend staying at the Henley for the decor and comfort of the hotel, the spacious room, and the convenience of walking to many DC attractions within 10-15 minutes. "

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"This was my fourth stay at the hotel Washington. I enjoy the location as it’s very convenient to the business district in Washington as well as great restaurants. The Vue rooftop bar is spectacular, but you need to get up there early in order to grab a seat at the bar as it fills up quite quickly after 4 o’clock I had a room on the eighth floor with a view of the mall and the White House the room was incredibly clean well appointed although the coffee maker did not work, but the hotel gave me a $15 credit for the restaurant downstairs, which more than made up for the inconvenience of not having a working coffee maker. The only point I would raise is that the shower uses large format marble tiling and is incredibly slippery. I nearly fell twice. I think they should provide a rubber mat. Other than that this is a spectacular hotel that always gets my highest recommendation for a stay in Washington DC."
