I stayed in the beginning of February for one night for a business trip. The room was very nice and clean. I think it is important for people to be aware that this place is huge. So, if you have a problem walking far, you should ask for a room in the main building. Did not stay long, so I cannot comment on any meals.

We stayed there recently for an event. The hotel is beautiful inside and out. The staff were friendly and very helpful though they had several events each with a large number of people. You would think you'd see some semblance of stress, but they were riding it very well. Kudos to the staff. Rooms were well cleaned and quiet. I'm sensitive to chemicals and sometimes have to move hotels because the cleaning chemicals can be too strong. Not with this hotel. It was perfect. Inside the hotel/on property, there are good eating options, shops and boutiques that kicked it up a notch for a longer stay.

We had the evenings to ourselves and found plenty of great close by good restaurants. LOVED Open City Cafe around the corner. I may go back just to go to that cafe. You must try the Italian Pizza Kitchen around the corner if you like Italian. It's a gem that doesn't appear like one. I had a meatball craving like no other and they more than satisfied.

Nearby, there are fun places to visit all within walking distance. The National Zoo is nearby... check out the Pandas :).

Enjoy!

I was upgraded to an executive room, and it was fabulous. The hotel has great service, and comfy beds. The staff in the concierge lounge went out of their way to make travelers feel appreciated, and the food was great. I really enjoyed my stay, and would stay here again. Close to the metro, and several places to eat nearby.

We stayed at the Wardman Park for a conference in February. The meeting facilities are very good; the staff was friendly and efficient. We stayed in a larger executive suite that was very roomy and comfortable. There are two restaurants in the hotel -- both decent but a little pricey. The bar was very pricey but a fun atmosphere. The hotel is only a short walk from a stretch of Connecticut Avenue where there is a row of restaurants (the Lebanese Taverna and Tono Sushi were both good), as well as the Woodley Park metro station. Very easy to get to the Mall, museums, monuments, etc. For those who like to work out, there is a good fitness room with lots of machines that appear to be well-maintained. Overall, a good stay and we would return here.
