Willard InterContinental Washington

Only favor I would ask next time is that they let you know it is $60 to park overnight... and if you are paying that, the least they could do (during the Women's March) when there are street closures - they should provide some instruction how to get out of the area... literally all the streets were closed around the hotel and we found ourselves being directed the wrong way down one-way streets by random "security" people... The hotel was GREAT. Great location, great service other that the valet issue. For the safety of the guests, they should be more proactive. Those people were a little crazy down there.

We went to go to the Holocaust Museum and to see the sights. Amazing, quiet, very comfortable beds. Rooms are beautiful and well kept. History of the hotel is worth the stay, make sure you go to the room and look at the history. We ate dinner at Cafe du Parc for Washington restaurant week and had an amazing steak dinner. I would stay here again and again.

marvelous hotel, well trained staff, excellent management

The room was very large and nicely decorated. There was not a tub but the shower was fantastic. Staying at the Willard is a very special experience. The Christmas decorations were an added surprise. Everything was easy. The elevator comes almost immediately after you press the button. Check in and check out was a breeze. The Café Du park restaurant is not particularly nice, but there are other restaurants very close.

Valet service was less than attentive, but was prompt in moving vehicles from the front of the hotel, which is a positive as space is a premium to get into the area. Check in was uneventful but staff was professional. When I told the staff I had left my valet ticket in the vehicle, I was told to walk downstairs to the valet garage and let them know so I could get my vehicle, which, while being admittedly pretentious, seems a bit off. The area was convenient and being DC, the area is entirely walkable. The facilities are clean and efficient. Overall, a great option to have a space next to the White House and nearby the National Mall, but don’t expect the individualized experience you might find at a boutique hotel.
