Hotel Courtyard di Washington D.C.

Abdul provided great service at Lady Madison. He was friendly, helpful and made our experience enjoyable. The hotel itself is dated and old. There was someone else’s hair in our shower. The rooms smell musty. The online photos are deceiving for the actual room quality

We've stayed at other five-star hotels, but the luxury, opulence and level of service of this hotel just swept me off my feet. Sometimes my teen daughter feels out of place in ”fancy” settings, but the staff were so welcoming that she was at ease for our whole stay. We were first greeted by the valet Dennis (”Dennis the Menace”). He was energetically welcoming and his smile can't be resisted - you just have to smile back. He gave us bottles of Evian and escorted us inside, where he introduced us to Said at the front desk. Check in was quick and efficient but without feeling rushed. We arrived a bit early and our room was being cleaned, so we sat in the breath-taking atrium and just soaked in the beauty. They had added cherry blossom decorations that were stunning. I have included pictures. I booked a king guest room, but I believe we were upgraded to a 585 sq ft premium guest room, 2 levels up. It was formally decorated and very luxurious, but not at all fussy or overbearing. A very helpful bellman escorted us to our room and showed us some of the features, such as the electronic ”do not disturb” light and the electric curtains & sheers. The mini bar was well-stocked with a variety of liquors and mixers as well as a split of champagne (Veuve Clicqot if I remember correctly). The hotel is walking distance to some of our favorite museums and attractions, but we ended up spending extra time in the room, just reveling in the luxury! The mattress was moderately firm and incredibly comfortable. The pillows were large and soft but supportive for side sleepers. And that oversized bathtub... I want one in my home! I am 5'8” and my feet did not touch the opposite end when I bathed. The water came almost to my shoulders. And Frette bathrobes afterwards was such a thoughtful touch! We ended up not using the shower, which was the size of a regular hotel's entire bathroom and was equipped with both an overhead shower head and a hand-held sprayer. I booked the room too late to go to tea or the spa, but I did peek in on both. I almost wish I didn't because both were so enticing. We had breakfast delivered to our room and it was delicious. We did not hear any noise outside our room. There are plenty of outlets for plugging in multiple chargers. Check out was equally smooth and efficient. A bellman arrived within minutes of my request. Said processed the checkout and remembered that we were traveling for my daughter's 17th birthday. Recalling that kind of detail impresses me that he was actually listening when we chatted at check-in. Dennis was outside again when we left. He gave us fresh bottles of Evian while our luggage was being loaded and sent us on our way with smiles. If we return to DC, staying at the Waldorf Astoria again will be our obvious choice!

Bilik pertama saya ok sehingga lampu mula berkelip dan tidak akan padam. Jauh TV n kemudian tidak berfungsi. Oleh itu, saya pergi ke kaunter penerimaan tetamu dan De'Angelo membantu kami. Dia menghantar kakitangan yang memeriksanya. Setelah jurutera datang, dia pergi untuk memberitahu De'Angelo untuk beralih atau bilik. Jadi mereka berjaya, tetapi satu-satunya barang yang mereka ada adalah bilik yang diturunkan, jadi dia memasukkan beberapa nota untuk kami dan membuat kami menyiapkan bilik dengan balkoni untuk menginap semalam. Dia dan kakitangan malam sangat baik dan dia hanya berada di sini sebentar. Sekarang kakitangan di seberang sana sangat teruk. Pergi ke meja grint pada pukul 11 untuk bertanya mengenai peningkatan bilik kami, dan diberitahu bahawa ia sedang disiapkan, tetapi kami tidak beralih sehingga kira-kira pukul 4 petang. Kami mempunyai jadual perjalanan yang tidak dapat kami selesaikan kerana menunggu pertukaran bilik kami. Juga meminta perkhidmatan bilik untuk 2 set barang perak, dan mereka membawanya kira-kira satu setengah jam kemudian, dan juga memasuki bilik kami tanpa pemberitahuan semasa saya sedang mandi. Oleh itu, apabila anda datang ke Watergate, pengalaman malam anda akan menjadi lebih menyeronokkan daripada berurusan dengan kakitangan harian.

Comfortable- only negatives were a noisy air conditioner and a bar fridge that froze everything. Good places to eat near by.

I've always wanted to stay at the Jefferson Hotel, and I'm glad we did. The location is excellent, not far from the White House and other sights. The building is very pretty, especially in the immaculately kept common areas. The staff are nonpareil! So helpful, all of them, from housekeeping to the concierge to the front-desk staff to the doormen, and all. The concierge (who also manned the front desk sometimes) and the lady who checked us in gave us a nice restaurant recommendation for Le Diplomate, which we really enjoyed. They gave us help at every turn, too many times to list. The room service at the hotel was very nice indeed, too. We had a breakfast and a dinner, and it was really superb. The dinner had a spectacular hamburger, a salmon tartare, and for dessert, a cranberry-cherry fruit crumble that we thought was out of this world. The truffle mac and cheese was wonderful too. We're very grateful to this hotel for our experience there, and we look forward to returning when next we come to DC!
