Sidney Harman Hall

This small, reasonably priced, well-located hotel is incredibly clean, the rooms are quiet (although the air conditioner does make sound when it goes on and off), the staff is very helpful and there is a great bar/restaurant attached. It's two blocks away from Union Station and besides its own restaurant, there are several others within a 10 minute walking radius. The downside for us is that there isn't a coffee maker in the room. There are two machines for everyone's use on the 2nd floor, but they happened to both be out of order when we were there. Still, we would definitely stay there again the next time we go to D.C.

Nice location with friendly staff. The hotel is a bit dated and the rooms were too dark for my taste. The fitness center was extremely hot - I had to leave, you cannot adjust the thermostat and the fan is fixed and falling apart. Otherwise the room was large and comfortable, beds were nice, and the bathroom was great, but they could use some anti-slip assistance on the shower floor. Overall I liked it and would stay again.

We checked in on July 1st and noticed AC was not cooling. Called the front desk and they said they will send someone to reset and no one came. The temperature outside was 102. By the time they offered to change the room we were already in bed. We said we can change the room next morning. They sent a small table fan. Next morning one Engineer was supposed to come and check and they said they couldn’t get in because of the sign. We have gone out for sightseeing. When we got back room was hot.we complained and we had to move our things three times to three different rooms since some of them had no safe no fridge. Finally we settled for a room without fridge. I request you to refund our first night charges since there was no AC. Hope you understand. Thanks Anand Ramachandran
