Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I checked in today after booking on Hotels.com - not directly with the hotel! Even though I did that when I checked in I explained to the desk agent Mary that I had two reservations this week - the first for business, which I was required to book a standard room, then the second for my wife and I that I booked an upgraded room with a view. I did explain to her that I preferred not to switch rooms and understood that if I had to downgrade rooms to make that happen. She immediately went to work and got me my upgraded room for the week - no questions - she was all in about helping me and asking what else she could do. Offered all kinds of toiletries if I needed, made suggestions for best places to go see the Cherry Blossoms - gave me a weather report for the week, etc. Great example of what a hotel desk agent should be! If I had to make a hotel decision alone based on my experience with her, I would never stay anywhere else in DC except the Hotel Washington. And, add on to that the VUE rooftop restaurant food quality - and that VIEW!!!! Wow!

Great location and a great hole to escape into while working. I completely forgot this was the old W Hotel. As an ex-hospitality executive, I know exactly what to expect from this brand, and even though another entity now owns it, it does not disappoint. The staff is professional and friendly - a great combo. I was upgraded at check-in as the gentleman realized I was there for less than 12 hours on a business trip. I was in a corner room, and for a few hours, I enjoyed the room and the view—it was amazing. Highly recommend the hotel, the location, and the restaurant.

We all enjoyed the Hotel Washington. Although the rooms are small, they're very classy, well decorated, clean and with nice amenities. Of course it isn't anywhere as luxurious as the Willard, but then neither are the prices. The elevators are fast, the lighting excellent, the shower good and there's a coffee service. You are given an $8. allowance to spend in their downstairs mini bar, but it doesn't buy much. For example, two tiny cookies are $5. They do, however, leave bottles of water in the room, which was appreciated. The one strange thing was that the safe was located down at the floor, which made it very difficult to access...especially for older people. The roof top bar is a noisy scene, but the view is great. Best of all, the location is superb. You can walk to almost anything.

The vibe of this hotel is fantastic!! From the energetic rooftop bar with great cocktails to the amazingly comfortable beds, makes for a truly great experience in the DC area. The staff are super accommodating and friendly. Mary on the front desk was awesome and all the gentlemen assisting with luggage and parking were friendly and very professionals. I highly recommend this hotel.

Finda did an absolutely wonderful job at cleaning and changing our room. She went above and beyond her duties to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of. I would just like to highlight this action to you all. It is not often I get met with this type of customer service. So I truly appreciate it.
