    Our second room was not ready until 5:30, 90 minutes later than we were supposed to be able to check in, for which we received no apology or recompense. Bed pillows were a disaster as they provided no support whatsoever, dramatically undermining our sleep. And room key did not work at Fitness Center wasting 15 minutes of my time.

    Rooms were excellent. View of Potomac...well stocked bar/refrigerator...large spacious bathrooms with great showers and double sinks...efficiency of automated elevator system led to short waits...room lighting is excellent...Fitness Center: good quality machines and a good number of them....sauna....valet service ($58) expensive but invaluable and well run.

    Very minor thing but insufficient coffee pods and milk in the room and one big cup, one small cup in the room which was puzzling as to why there weren’t two of each? Also coffee flasks in the lobby were empty each time we went to use them.

    Fabulous location and views of the Potomac from the rooms.

    Great location between Georgetown and the Mall. We explored both. Grand building with echoes of recent history all around. Fantastic breakfast available, and room service very good.

    Out of my control but the snow even though it was beautiful. For the amount of money for the stay parking should have been free. I was trying to schedule a spa or massage and was unable to book on line. Once we got there an attempt was made however the times weren't Is compatible to our stay.

    The room was wonderful and at a good location overlooking the river. The restaurant was really nice. Nice and friendly staff all all around.

    A bit of history, but higher quality options available at a similar price

    The lifts are in need of servicing and at times can be very loud, even in the rooms. The rooftop bar is closed over the winter period which we hadn't realised until we got up there. The price of the minibar/confectionary in the room was extortionate, made worse in that there are very limited options around for any such things.

    Lovely historic hotel with a very good breakfast (albeit pricey). Well preserved exterior and reasonably modern interior. The view of the river is pleasant. Small details like the cup mats had information about the hotel and it's history which was a nice touch.

    The bread was hard and there were not that many choices. Just sub par. They need to elevate it for the place and price they charge.

    The breakfast was a complete disappointment. They need to provide a higher quality and variety. Had it not beed for an amazing staff member, it would have been really disastrous for me.

    For such a high-end hotel, there are a few things I was surprised by. The carpets in the two rooms we rented were visibly worn and stretched. Also, the rooms do not offer modern amenities like blutooth speakers or streaming services.

    It's a beautiful hotel and the staff is great. As a political history buff, it was also my wife's goal to stay there.
