We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Harrington. It was a great location, escpecially if you need to make frequent trips back and forth to the hotel from attractions. We were able to be flexible with our small children, and come back for lunch and snacks mid day wtihout having to spend time traveling. The hotel is slightly dated, and there... more

I stayed at the Hotel Harrington, not by choice but as part of a Girl Scout group. The place was absolutely disgusting, as a group of two moms and two daughters we had adjoining rooms and when we checked in the "moms room" had a filthy bathroom, not cleaned from the previous guests and there were still dirty towels in... more

This is comprable to a British Travellers Hotel, old but servicable. We got a room with two Double Beds on 9th Floor. Room was very clean but a little cramped. Bathroom was very cramped but everything worked. Staff was very helpful. Best thing is location...we were able to walk to several Smithsonians after dinner right before closing and the museums... more

We can only say positive things about this hotel.There were 5 of us, and no one had complaints including the 3 teenagers who are used to staying in very nice condos when on vacation.The Harrington will see us again! Location,price,cleanliness all tops! more

I don't understand the negative reviews about this hotel! If you have enough money to change hotels anyway, then just spend a bit more and stay somewhere else. This hotel is in an amazing location, everything is literally a few minutes away from you. All the major attractions are just down the street - the Washington monument, all the museums,... more

I stayed here with my husband for 5 nights. Its not the Hilton - our room was a little on the shabby side. But the room was exceptionally clean and the bed was comfortable. And the location was just amazing - just a couple of blocks from Metro Center, about 20 minute walk from the Capitol/Supreme Court and the National... more

When we first arrived, I had already known it was the oldest operating hotel in D.C so I was expecting an older building. What I did not expect was what followed. As soon as we walked in we found the lobby packed with several large groups of preteens making a ton of noise. When we finally checked in, instead of... more

The location of this hotel is perfect - a couple blocks from Pennsylvania Avenue and the National Mall, about four blocks to the White House in one direction and the same amount to major Smithsonian museums in another direction, in the middle of restaurants and shops downtown, and about three blocks to a metro (subway) stop in two different directions.... more

Harrington Hotel's location can't be beat...within walking distance to all the historic sites on and around the Mall. The staff was friendly and helpful with our early check in, holding our luggage until our room was ready, allowing us to walk around the city. Unfortunately, this is where the positive comments come to halt because the rooms were less than... more
