    pizza and other restaurants are around the corner before AC hotel :)
    Sara Y.

    New Yorker is rating this hotel. Convenient location. If you come from Union station, take a bus 33. Mini fridge and microwave set up in the room. There're 7eleven, pizza store and others are around the corner. When you go out, make a right, you see the AC hotel before that, before you hit there, just make a right...you'll see it. It's less than a block from the hotel. It made like a tiny town. I also attached extended photos. Took 3 star the front desk don't pick up the phone. (Lucky, if someone answers) , front desk and elevator are very slow. Too many customers and each fl stop.....so, in case, take the lower level to stay. You can use the stairs. If you are coming here for the slow vacation yes. More of that, morning service is good but some customers don't clean the table for the next ppl and very judgement vibes bring. It was pretty crowded. Many ppl were selfish to eat... ah it's disappointing! While I'm staying here, I was told that only one cleaning lady so, it will take time but it took 2 hrs to add amenities. :( I personally avoid staying at this hotel, it's such super slow services and makes me frustrated! I know many New Yorkers are here, so it's frustrating every goes up more and more. No game. Try one day. I'm not sure why one person is at the front while busy checking in/out as well as cleaning lady is One person. *make sure th deposit back in $100* Walking distance from Chinatown, less than 10min. 901 6th st NW Washington DC

    What's great about this hotel? Excellent downtown DC location with free breakfast every day! In addition to being walking distance to the convention center, it has perfect access to dozens of area restaurants, shops, and downtown venues. Plus, it is within 1 mile of Union Station, which is especially nice for incoming train travelers. Also, Ms. Antione at the reception desk is quite helpful! Not only does she check you in with a smile, but she takes great care in explaining the various hotel amenities and related services. With this hotel having such high volume foot traffic among the guests, it is amazing how well Ms. Antione and the entire front desk team are able to triage and provide great customer service to all. It is clear that Ms. Antione takes great pride in her work! Five (5) stars for this portion of the review. Opportunities to improve at this hotel? The air-conditioning unit is very loud for such a compact unit. I stayed in two different rooms this month at the hotel - room numbers 716 and 1221, and my experience is the same even in different rooms with regard to the air-conditioning units. On another note, the staff who services the breakfast area is slow on food service such as -- replacing empty pans, refilling waffle batter, cleaning food service areas between replenishments, and cleaning tables and clearing plates for departed guests. Three (3) stars for this portion of the review. Overall, this hotel has an average of a four star rating in my view. It is located in a very accessible part of downtown, the hotel rates are very competitive, the reception desk team is efficient, and the free breakfast are all great for guests.

    Great hotel in the Mount Vernon Triangle of DC. Located near Chinatown and literally everything else, the Hampton also offers free hot breakfast and amenities. There is a pool on the 2nd floor, small fitness room and laundry room for guests. There is a liquor store and Seven-Eleven convenience store maybe 3-5 mins walking distance from the hotel. Go out the front entrance, make a right, continue up the street and turn right again at the corner. Very convenient for late night beer and cigarette runs. The staff was nice and the night auditor John was was particularly accommodating and helpful in answering questions about the city. Clean hotel with nice views, good custoner service, convenient location to local attractions, monuments, reataurants and shopping. I would stay here again in a hearbeat!

    To be honest - I'm not sure here. Usually I stay at the Navy Yard Hampton Inn, and after staying here - that will continue to be my main place. Several issues: (1) 4PM checkin - which they don't adhere to. Wut? So we had to change rooms bc the one I chose? wasn't cleaned yet. So why have a 4PM checkin if it's not going to be held to? (2) Room thermostat was broke - or shut off. It was 80° in the room. So I cranked the window unit to 60° and prayed to God things would cool off soon. Even waking up with the AC humming full tilt I was sweating (3) Mask mandate wall to wall. Why did we get vaccinated if we still have to wear masks? Remember when the President said vaxxed folks didn't have to wear a mask "period"? Me too. (4) Have to wear gloves in breakfast area - lol. I mean what are we doing here? Joke. People were nice but I won't be back - sorry.

    The hotel very nice and clean however that is not the reason to come here. The bar is a hidden gem. The bartender Thomas is a true mixologist unbelievably friendly makes great drinks as well as great conversation.

    Walk to Chinatown!

    Most excellent stay! A group of six of us came in about 11am on a Friday morning, ready to drop off our bags to go exploring. We were delightfully surprised to be offered an early check-in. The location is convenient to a Metro station in China Town, smack in the middle of restaurants, bars, music, parks. The hotel is super clean. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The free breakfast is better than most I've run across, serving turkey sausage, eggs, french toast sticks, many pastries, a few cereal options, oatmeal with toppings, yogurt and fresh fruit. They also have premade smoothies. The breakfast attendant kept everything going, I never saw anything empty. The ONLY reason I'm giving less than 5 stars is because the temperature in the room could not be easily regulated. It was either freezing cold or swealtering hot. During the day we turned it up while we were out. At night, before bed, we turned it to cooler, which was high AC. I probably could have mentioned it to the front desk, but by the time we got down from the 12th floor, meeting friends, I really forgot.about it. At the end if the day, we were too tires to complain. We dealt with it, so it obviously was not too bad. Bottom line, I'd definitely stay here again on another trip to DC.

Too bad stored blankets were unavailable for sleepers wanting more warmth than their traveling companions. We had to make a second request for one. May I also suggest providing more than one bar of mini soap bars. It's such a minuscule cost item but would obviate having to repeatedly move the precious one bar from sink to shower. We found the valet staff particularly helpful especially when navigating awkward arrivals and parking needs of our personal guests. Sean was a prince. He supervised an otherwise complicated set of logistics with competence and gentlemanly grace. Another shout out to the manager ( sou?) of the breakfast dining. We watched him rigorously oversee staff and guests while occasionally stepping in when helpful. His leadership is likely responsible for the professionalism of said staff. This is in direct contrast to the staff of the Willard across the street where we took the first breakfast of our stay. We were dismayed to have to endure extremely loud staff socializing, boisterous laughter and downright flirting. This type of behavior would have been unacceptable at the JWMarriott.

Upon welcome we received free Trolley tickets for one day and some food credits, probably based on our Bonvoy Status (we travel all the time). The price for a room I guess because of the multiple conventions in the place was excessive. I think for a room, not a suite, it would have ben $750 per night during the week. I thought that was a lot so we used points, and the 1st night they had not held our King Room for us, and despite being our anniversary, we had to sleep in a double room and move the next day. Unfortunately, the double room was quiet, and the King Room had an adjoining door and we heard every little thing from the room next door. I would put this down one point, but the service, staffing and helpful Concierge made this place really nice for us.

Traveling can be exhausting, and during our stay, my son Colin often went down to the bar and restaurant on his own in the evenings and mornings. What stood out to me wasn't just the quality of the food or service--it was how the staff treated him. Every single time, he was met with kindness, respect, and genuine warmth. He ordered his meals, sat comfortably, enjoyed his time, and never once felt awkward or out of place. The staff made sure he had what he needed, checked in on him naturally, and created an environment where he felt completely at ease. As a parent, that level of care is something you never forget. For me, the experience was just as special. Corey, the bartender, was exceptional. Each evening, he made sure I had exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it, and engaged in thoughtful, easy conversation that made the space feel welcoming and safe. It wasn't just service--it was connection, and it made a long, tiring trip feel restorative. This hotel doesn't just deliver luxury--it delivers humanity. The staff understands how to read people, how to make guests feel comfortable, and how to create an atmosphere where everyone feels like they belong. I've stayed in many beautiful hotels, but this experience stands apart because of how we were treated as people. Thank you to the entire team--and especially Corey--for making this such a memorable stay. We will absolutely be back.

The vibes are opulent- the Peacock Alley is located in the grand lobby, which is massive and airy with a glass ceiling overhead to let in tons of natural light. A harpist also set the mood beautifully, but they didn't stay for very long- they maybe stayed about 30 minutes past our 3:30pm tea appointment. Tea services are offered at 12:00 noon and 3:30pm. The central cherry blossom tree is the showstopper, and the main reason I chose the Waldorf for our afternoon tea. I had heard that there are several cherry blossom-themed afternoon teas all over DC that may have better food options, but this was the only one with decor this grand. My main concern was with our seating. I had called ahead of time to ask if they could accommodate my group to have a close seating location close to the cherry blossom tree due to our special occasion. The staff assured me during two separate calls that they would be able to accommodate our request, but upon getting seated, we were seated in the far corner by the bar. It is true that there is a fair view of the cherry blossom tree everywhere in the lobby, but I was disappointed at our far vantage point given the fact that I had called to confirm a close spot to the cherry blossom tree twice in advance. This is because I wanted to originally schedule the premium experience (premium seating, champagne, and fine china), but it was not available to groups larger than 4 and we were a group of 6. The service was otherwise perfectly fine and the portions of food were generous and tasty. We were all definitely full after finishing our savory bites. Our collective favorites were the chicken cherryaki and crab beignet bites, but we all appreciated the diverse offerings. We also had a friend with a peanut allergy dining with us, and they accommodated her easily by separating her pastries onto a separate tiered tray. It looks like the only item with a possible nut allergen was the crab beignet (her version had tofu). Despite the mild issues with seating, the experience was gorgeous. As a cherry blossom lover, I can see myself doing this every time I'm back in town. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Service: 4/5 - Food: 4/5

Furthermore, for a five-star hotel, lacking a proper hot tub and standalone shower is unacceptable. The towels provided are cheap, rough, and feel entirely out of place at this price point. The bathroom ventilation is so old and loud, that I can't even believe it's there. No fridge in the room, only a mini bar that will charge you if you move around mini bar items to place your own drinks. The view of the White House was severely misadvertised. To actually see it, you are required to pay an extra $700 on top of an already steep $600-per-night room rate. The acoustic insulation is non-existent. If anyone is staying in the room above you, forget about sleeping--every single footstep and movement carries straight through. The front desk staff was entirely dismissive. After promising to switch our room to resolve our issues, they dragged us through three separate attempts, wasted hours of our time with non-responsive answers, and then finally demanded we pay even more money to fix their mistake. After we went through, not even a complimentary breakfast or really anything. Shocked that this place is more expensive than Four Seasons, St. Regents, and the kind. This is barely a three star hotel (except location of course). Stay away.
