Simply A+. Great staff, room, location, food-we only had breakfast but it was great. It is so central to DC tourism and one of the best hotels I have stayed in-and I've stayed in a lot around the world. Also, their tour guide recommendations were also great! Thank you
The room was clean and nicely decorated. The room was also quiet. The staff were very helpful. The on-site restaurant had a nice selection of food and excellent service. The bar was also nice. In addition, our group booked appointments at the Spa. After a long day of sight-seeing, this was a nice place to relax. They have a nice selection of services to choose from. I highly recommend this hotel when traveling to DC.
We absolutely loved our stay!! The beds and linens were great, the food in the restaurants was great! Location is superb for sightseeing! We loved attending the Great American Fair and seeing all the beautiful monuments and fountains the week of July 4th!

Attached to this hotel. Looking fwd to the opening of the full bar. Staff did their best to make us feel special!
This hotel is stunning! Beyond expectations! The staff was so helpful when I needed them for LOTS of special requests during our 15th wedding anniversary! This will always be my 1st choice for places to stay in DC!
Clean & well kept property, very friendly staff, housekeeping went above & beyond. Only issue was at check in when 1 of our 2 rooms wasn't ready & they didn't have the floor we pre-reserved available. But they made it up in other ways.
The Willard is a grand old hotel that lives up to its reputation. Our room was spacious and fully stocked with everything we needed. The staff was outstanding in their prompt service, starting with Ramona at check-in; she was wonderful and very helpful. Five stars isn't enough!
the opulent foyers and the beautiful room were a memorable way to see Washington DC . from the parking attendants to the front desk staff - all very helpful x
