I had read a few - pretty awful - reviews about this hotel beforehand and was a little dubious about what to expect. Bad service, terrible rooms, noisy? We felt that the service was excellent, especially at reception. The room was enormous and the bed could have slept 5 comfortably - well, at least 3. OK, the decor was a... more

For a hotel that was charging $270 US a night I was extremely disappointed. From the dated décor to the dirty room I was extremely disappointed with the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel. Aside from the location to the Mall and access to the Metro I would avoid this hotel at all costs. I recommend staying closer to DuPont Circle. more

In a previous review, the hotel management claimed they were unaware of the website touting the health club facilities and roof top pool, but they would in fact be ready after maintenance period for the week of Nov 2. Well, we checked into the hotel on Nov 4th (with 3 small children with lots of plans for museum visits, walks... more

I have no idea what everyone is complaining about. We arrived Monday at 11am and they allowed us to check in that early. We had a beautiful clean room with comfortable pillows and bed with a stunning view of the Washington Momument. Service was amazing and they were very helpful. We had a 11 month old with us and they... more

First off we got a great deal on this hotel. 3 nights w/air from Burlington, VT was $425. Room rate worked out to around $75/night. With that said we had a great value. Hotel has a great location, having the metro below was definitely a plus. Restaurants were overpriced for passable food, typical in most hotels in my experience. Unfortunately... more

Stayed at L'Enfant Plaza Hotel mid-October 2009. he Inexcusable: Web site on 10/13 shows a top notch workout facility. In fact it has been closed since about 10/1/09. Bunch of signs direct you to a long walk to it on the 11th floor. When you get there a sign says it is closed. The hotel manager was unaware of the... more

We do apologize for the inconveience that was caused by the fitness center being closed. We are currently renovating the Fitness Center to better serve our guests and it will open the week of November 2nd. During the renovation the hotel is providing a shuttle service to a local Gold's gym. The hotel is located in an office complex and...

I had stayed at L'Enfant Plaza a few years ago and had a good experience but my most recent stay was poor. The location is still superb and if you decide to still book here don't pay the outrageous parking costs. On weekends the meters 100 feet away are free and usually open. The first problem we hit was when... more

There is a metro stop right under this hotel. We only used it once but you could do it all the time. We walked to the very nearby museums and National Mall. Taxis were a large part of our time spent and the hotel always has a ready supply of them. If you were to ask the doorman they would... more

Although I was told I had a room with a view of the city, I actually had a view of the pool. At times it was loud and I was disappointed. I enjoyed my stay and would return to this hotel in the future, but would be more specific with my needs. more

Our stay at this hotel was made more enjoyable by the Metro Station right under the hotel lobby. Although the entire mall area is within walking distance, we had a pregnant daughter-in-law and a 2 year-old, so the Metro helped. There is also a small underground mall with several wonderful places to grab a quick breakfast or lunch. The restaurant... more
