Our room was very hot and the AC did nothing to cool it down. We had engineering check it and they said that there was nothing that they could do.

The front desk gave us 2 free drinks as compensation for one of the worst nights I've ever spent in a hotel. Gee. . . Thanks!

Deenny is always on top of the flow of the entry way to this bustling hotel with a too small driveway. However, due to his diligence and professional manner, the place is always a comfortable reception.

Modern and serene throughout. Exceptionally comfortable beds. Rooms are soothing tone-on-tone brown/bronze/light green décor with beautiful European furniture. Large, attractive baths with a remarkable lit-from-behind mirror (must be seen to be understood) that takes a good 10 years off your face. Note that the room’s light switches require only a very gentle tap to turn fixtures on and off. Friendly, efficient, and proactive staff throughout.

Super location on a quiet, “gold coast” corner across from the Fairmont and Park Hyatt Hotels and the Blue Duck Tavern. It’s an easy 2-3 block walk down M Street across a bridge to Georgetown but with none of the Georgetown traffic or noise. I think this area and the Westin would be perfect for corporate and grown up travelers but less so for tourists or families with children. The Capitol, Smithsonian, and White House, e.g., are not nearby.

The Caucus Room restaurant (in the Westin) is attractive and serves excellent coffee and tea, but other menu items were unremarkable to us.

Cab prices: Capitol/Union Station $12-15 with tip; Smithsonian/White House $10-12. Foggy Bottom Metro station is a few blocks away. No one in his right mind wants to drive around Washington, DC. If you bring your car, whatever the hotel charges for parking, and whatever the restrictions are, just factor it into your trip planning and be done with it.

My wife and I just spent a lovely holiday weekend in the Washington, DC area visting our children and grandchildren. WE stayed at the Westin Georgetown and hyad a great stay. We were upgraded to an executive suite with a nice seating area, the beds were extremely comfortable and it was quiet at night. Sloane Aurelia in Guest Services at the hotel was especially helpful. We would strongly recommend this hotel.
