Holiday Inn Washington-Central/White House by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location. The breakfast buffet was excellent. Alexandra in the breakfast room was so sweet and helpful. Id stay there again!"

The Darcy Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff help was great! Only complaint was that I expressed concern about the greatly overused mattress in room 615 and nothing was done to correct it. The mattress was horrible and it should not be in any room. Other than that, I would give high marks to the Darcy Hotel."

"Friendly staff, easy walk to metro and convention center, lobby bar with fabulous decor promoting equality"

The Jefferson, Washington, DC
