The Spectrum

We come to DC from NY often to visit our daughter attending Law School. The staff here is always courteous, attentive, and kind. Checkin is always quick and efficient. There are great places to eat and easy access to the Metro. We’ll be here many more times this next 2 years.

Staff was pleasant and its very modern which my family and I enjoyed. The lot is literally across the street and the penthouse view is gorgeous. I really enjoyed the gym and i loved how responsive staff is to texting Whatever I needed I received right away. If I want to stay in the DC area again I will be visiting Arlo. Thanks for a great time

Our stay was 3 nights. The property is beautiful and the staff are warm and welcoming. We loved that the hotel is a very short walk to the White House- you can see it from the hotel. We walked to the Washington Monument and the Museum of Natural History from the hotel. We had our 8 year-old son with us and therefore utilized Lyft for excursions beyond a mile or two round trip. Make no mistake though - this hotel is in a terrific location for sight-seeing, especially for 1st times to DC like the three of us. Turn-down service, several staff on the door every time we came and went, impeccable house-keeping, assistance with everything (FRIENDLY Valets and Bellhops). At some 5-star hotels, you get the sense that you are being humored (at times even tolerated) for the sake of a tip. This is not the feeling we had at The Jefferson. To the contrary, the ladies and gentlemen who helped us seemed genuinely nice. I cannot say enough great things about the hotel and its staff. The reason for a star deduction is because of the sleep quality. We stayed in a double queen and the bed seemed a little short. I am 6'03" and found myself lying diagonally on the bed in order to "fit". Also, the mattress was too firm for our liking. Last, there are 3 pillow types among the 10 pillows - 4 VERY firm LARGE pillows, 4 King VERY soft pillows, and 2 throw pillows. None of which were comfortable. So much to love about The Jefferson. Just not the beds/pillows.
