I've stayed at several 4 star chain downtown DC hotels over course of the last two years and this past weekend's stay at the Westin Georgetown probably tops them all, First, I was able to secure a rate of $129 per night through Westin's website--great deal. Valet is $40 per day but totally the same at all types of these hotels. Even the Marriott in Woodley Park where parking is not a premium charges $30+. I liked the smaller feel of the Westin. The bellman upon greeting us promptly handed Westin "Kids Club" bags to each of my two tired kids stumbling out of the backseat. Nice sun hats, travel sacks and maps all made for a nice arrival. There are only 8 floors to the hotel and we were placed in a nice double bedded room on the 7th floor which is for SPG guests. Other than free water, I am not sure what this got us but the room, while a bit tight, was totally fine for the price. Typical nice Westin beds, LG flatscreen, Ihome clock radio. But the bathroom was by far the nicest I've seen in DC in a non-five star property. Separate shower and bath was great and a particularly awesome deep soaking tub which had incredible water pressure and heat (same with the shower). Nice service and hot apple cider available at all times was a nice touch. The lack of any coffee access (except a restaurant) outside of what was provided in the room was a disappointment. But there are many great options including Starbucks and a cool market where they make omlettes to order right across the street. Nice new bar inside the restaurant of the hotel. Gym looked great although I did not use (chilled washcloths in a refrigerator a particularly nice touch). The location was pretty good--close to Georgetown (about a mile walk to Wisconsin and M, the property is definitely not in Georgetown) and easy access to the mall. However, this part of DC is a bit boring and the closest metro is five blocks away. In sum though, I liked the smaller size of the hotel, attention to detail like keeping kids happy and the bathrooms were top-notch Four Seasons quality, even in a standard room. Will definitely stay here again.
