Second time to stay here. Easy walking distance to the mall. Service is good. Rooms and bathrooms are adequate size. Bed and pillows were comfortable. There was an odd smell upon entering room, but it dissipated or I grew accustomed to it.

Rooms were comfortable, nice and clean. Baths were spacious and i didn't see any mildew as some reviews had reported. It is a older hotel and some ware is... More

This hotel is located couple blocks from the capitol hill and union station. Clean and comfortable hotel. The experience was soured tremendously when my bags were stolen out of my car in while it was parked int he garage (valet). There was no damage to my car - so the valet attendant must have either left it unlocked or one... More

We booked this hotel with a very good deal and were not let down. The location is superb, you can see the Capital building and it is a few blocks away from Union Station Metro. The hotel room was nicely furnished and the bed was to die for. The bathroom could have used some new caulking, etc, but was absolutely... More

My friend and I stayed at this hotel during the Cherry Blossom Festival. The hotel was within easy walking distance from the Capitol and other places of interest. It was clean and comfortable. The staff friendly and helpful. The parking was expensive, but did allow for in/ out service. It would have been nice to have self parking for easier... More

My husband and I have been to DC on several occaisions and have stayed in different areas.. The location of the hotel is one of its selling points- within an easy walk to the Capital, Mall and to Union Station for metro use. We had a small corner room that was clean and nicely appointed- the size and lack of... More

The Washington Court is a clean, comfortable property within easy walking distance to the Capitol, the Mall and DC Metro. Frequent travellers will be fine there for business or tourism. I have to give huge props to the bell staff. They went way out of their way to be friendly and hospitable from the minute we stepped out of the... More

Wife and I spent 3 nights there. Nice, clean hotel with an excellent location a block from Union Station.We stayed in the Deluxe room which was very nice, but basic. No micro, no fridge (although we did request a fridge and they were very accomodating. A definite plus). Seems like a lot of the hotels in the DC area cater... More

The hotel is located reasonably close to the Senate and because of the sheer distances is much further away from the House; the distance to the Capital is irrelevant for this review since politics rarely ever takes place in the capital building. The food is very good especially the fine breakfast buffet of which you can choose either a cold... More

I am writing this review as the hotel was very nice, clean, and comfortable. We had a great room as we were in town for the New York Rangers game last month.
