Washington hotellit lähellä St. Mary's Episcopal Church

Plussat: Size of the room and location

Miinukset: Would have liked the ability to eat in the hotel but there were plenty of places to eat close by

Plussat: The suites were large, clean, and well decorated. The kitchens had everything you would need to cook meals. There were two nice cold bottles of water waiting when you got there. My daughter loved the open fire place in the lobby. Close proximity to the metro, specifically the green and orange lines for easy access to the National Mall. The folks at the front desk were very helpful. The washer and dryer was a real perk. We had a great stay at AKA!

Miinukset: The tubs are a little high, but I assume so water doesn't splash out.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The hotel is tired. The room i was assigned was very tired.

Plussat: Will never go back to this hotel. The appart is very spaceful. This is the only thing you can appreciated at this hotel. 5 days no cleaning service but they are ready to charge you anything

Plussat: Huge Room. All the amenities of home (full sized refrigerator etc), comfortable bed, easy access from Metro

Plussat: Close to my destination

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We enjoyed the spaciousness of the apartment, the choice of furniture, decor, the desk for office work, the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the kitchenette, the 3 HD televisions with the ample selection of free on-demand movies and the many many plugs to charge our devices. We liked the cleanliness of the surfaces and the appliances were spotless and worked well despite having paint splashes and wear on he stove. We appreciated the complimentary water bottles and other small supplies like dish soap. They even delivered whatever else we needed to our door.

Miinukset: When we arrived, we didn't know where to park or if we could stop - my husband had to circle the block while I went inside to enquire. Putting the hazard lights on, after dark, we had to rush to put our luggage on a trolly ourselves - and there was no bellhop to help at the front. We had an SUV that was too big for their underground parking (too expensive anyways). We had to find something else. We learned as my husband was walking back a few blocks away from another parking garage, that a few doors earlier from our hotel, they could have taken our truck - front desk did not volunteer this information when I asked for alternatives... There was a disconnect between the lovely, bright, pleasantly-smelling lobby versus the dreary upper floors. We were on the fourth floor and my heart sank went we exited the elevators into the dimly-lit, unpleasantly odored halls to access our apartment. We had a view of the back lot on to office buildings. At 4:30 am on a Friday morning, we were awoken by very loud trucks (sounded like garbage trucks) Lasted about 15 minutes and we couldn't fall back to sleep. Heard them again Saturday but it was 7am this time. While the choice of furniture and decor were tasteful, new-looking and of good quality, it didn't hide the quality of the renovations done to the apartment which was not on par with the quality of the decor - cracked caulking with gaps and holes where water infiltrates from the shower and black (mold?) spots were visible and likely forming behind the tiles; the washrooms for my unit didn't look like the photos in the posting - much smaller, less luxurious; the doors to the apartment are very loud when used. We could hear neighbors coming and going at night, though nothing through the walls, just from the doors.

Plussat: AKA Whitehouse was a great modern spacious apartment in a great location to explore the tourist destinations of Washington.

Plussat: There was more room than I expected or needed. The suite was well appointed and felt luxurious. The staff were very helpful and courteous.

Miinukset: One bathroom counter was not very clean. The outdoor noises, which were present late into the night, were significant. I'd recommend better, quieter windows for such a nice hotel.

Plussat: Where do I start... the spaciousness of the suite, beds, bathrooms.......

Miinukset: Having to leave!! It was such a fabulous space, and would of loved to have stayed more than 2 nights

Plussat: location of the hotel on center of the capital.

Miinukset: in the 9th floor on my suite there was very noise left , which have a big sound when arrive to the floor, so he wakeup me of my sleep, many times on every day of my 12th night.

Plussat: I liked the comfort and facilities particularly. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment and we were a group of 3 adults. The space was large and comfortable. The heating system was easy to manage and the kitchen area was better stocked with utensils/equipment than the place we stayed in NYC. I was particularly pleased to have a washing machine and dryer in the apartment. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with information. The location was also excellent - just a short walk from the White House and it was an easy walk to most museums etc.

Miinukset: Our criticisms of AKA are minor. A "light breakfast" is available Monday to Friday. This is tailored to the American market. We would have found it more usuable if more cereal options and toast were provided.

Miinukset: No maid service

Plussat: We like the great location and the friendly and helpful reception staff. Scott from engineering is very responsive and dedicated.

Miinukset: The cleaning staff is one of the poorest we have encountered in our travels. Their attitude is surly and their work poor. On our cleaning last cleaning day, 30 July, dirty sheets were left all day in the general hallway just off the elevator and our room was not cleaned. It was cleaned Saturday by a resentful staffer, who did not replace towelling completely and we found out later, threw out or bags we were saving in the cabinet under the sink for our own trash and shopping.

Plussat: Location - walkable to everything

Miinukset: Requested several items - fix drain in tub, additional remote for TV and did not get them.

Plussat: Excellent quality

Plussat: terrace

Miinukset: missing breakfast on Sunday

Plussat: An apartment feel in a hotel setting. Very comfortable and welcoming. Lots of space and facilities which made for a luxurious end to a 5 week travelling holiday. great position, quiet- 1 block from the white House and a short walk to the National Mall and close to Metrorail.

Miinukset: Lamminta vetta saisi tulla ympari vuorokauden jotta voisi ottaa kylvyn silloin kun haluaa. yos laskutus useamman makuuhuoneen huoneistossa pit'isi voida jakaa yopyjien kesken eika ottaa koko summaa yhdelta kortilta, varsinkin kun asiasta oli huomautettu. Nyt joutuu itse jakamaan laskua ja vaihtamaan valuuttaa, mika ei ole matkan jalkeen kiva asia.

Plussat: The accomodations were fabulous. Great fitness and business center. Courteous staff and location can't be beat when business at the Capitol.

Miinukset: Little trouble communicating with maid.

Plussat: I had a very comfortable and modern furnished 1 bedroom apartment. It included a complete, well equipped kitchen and also a washer and dryer--quite luxurious!

Miinukset: The public hallways always had a cooking smell--not always pleasant. The smell did not penetrate into the rooms.

Plussat: Super clean, helpful staff. Made my time in DC easy.

Miinukset: Room wasn't cleaned until the afternoon, so often I was back from my appointments before the room got tidied up. Not a huge problem.

Plussat: We arrived early and the staff let us check in early. The location is really convenient. The pizza sold was perfect and at very reasonable price.

Miinukset: There is no kettle provided in the room, so it was not possible to make tea.

Plussat: The staff!

Miinukset: Better description of room before booking.

Plussat: Location ideal: between Lincoln Memorial and Georgetown Everything new. Great Bar Vibe. Center of GW University Young and older crowd: students to bizmen .

Miinukset: Small rooms

Plussat: While I understand the idea of less is more and simplicity, the rooms could be a smidge bigger. Also I need a mini fridge and microwave and coffee in my room. LOL Did not love the pizza only menu, could use a few apps or small plates and the staff was so friendly but slow and limited.

Miinukset: See above lol

Plussat: Walking distance to the main sites of the city, staff was great and room was very good too.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Lovely boutique hotel. Staff were amazingly friendly. Highly recommend!

Plussat: The staff was wonderful, professional and attentive.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Excellent location. Just a short walk from most of the sights you'll want to see, and also extremely convenient from DCA. The staff were friendly and engaging, and I found it a great overall experience.

Miinukset: I honestly do not have any complaints. I honestly do not have any complaints. I honestly do not have any complaints. I honestly do not have any complaints. I honestly do not have any complaints.

Plussat: Great location with a inside comfort to Relax.

Miinukset: Maybe larger lobby.

Plussat: Valet staff was excellent.

Miinukset: It is a historic hotel. Although the square footage was decent, it was broken into small rooms. So the room itself felt small and somewhat cramped. The bathroom was small and cramped. Hallways were not well lit. Carpeting appeared to need a change. The bar is small and open only until 10 pm.

Plussat: Very quiet

Plussat: The staff was the best, so helpful. Offered to let us check in early, valet parking, did not lift a bag. Heavenly mattresses. Clean room, especially nice bathroom, pretty bedroom. Terrific bathrobes. Helped us split room chargers.Would go back again!

Miinukset: No microwave or coffee pot!!!

Plussat: The decor is beautiful and it’s a very quiet hotel Great location, close to great restaurants and the Black Lives Matter Plaza The bed was comfy and had plenty of pillows I liked the laptop workstation I loved the double doors that separated the bathroom from the bedroom Absolutely loved the vanity set in the bathroom The “screen door” was something different I had never seen before in a hotel, it was a nice touch Hotel staff was extremely friendly, very hospitable place There was ample street parking during our stay Exceptional value for our stay

Miinukset: The actual door to our room wasn’t very heavy so often times I found it hadn’t closed properly but the screen door was a nice bonus to maintain our privacy when that happened The shower water pressure was way too hard and the shower curtain was annoying The fridge wasn’t very cold Terrible view from our room All of these things weren’t really the hotels fault and did not affect my feelings towards staying here. Overall it is a great place

Plussat: Definite Not 4 Stars

Miinukset: Carpet was grimey. Furniture dated. Room was tiny.

Plussat: Breakfast, the staff, the room, the location

Plussat: Location..great room.

Plussat: The suite was larger than expected and I have to give a shout out to housekeeping because the room was immaculate. The bed had fabulous, clean, fresh white linens and was super comfortable. The suite is nicely updated, but retains an old world charm with original wood doorway trim, nice furniture, drapery and room darkening wooden blinds. Front desk check in with Shareen and check out with Richelle were terrific - both women friendly and accommodating.

Miinukset: Two suggestions are: trash bucket liners (I am sure housekeeping would agree) and sealed, sanitary, disposable cups in the bathroom instead of glassware. Sorry, but I don't know anyone who uses glassware in hotels - just aren't confident how clean they actually are =( Thanks.

Plussat: woman checking me in on 11/22 was great. very comfortable bed. great location.nice tv, internet hookup great, concierge very nice and helpful.

Miinukset: unfortunately, i was not given the wake up call at 5 15 am like i requested.also, it was tricky to adjust the thermostat to desirable temperature.

Plussat: People were nice, exellent location, free internet, complementary water / news paper/ gym/coffee/ very cozy

Miinukset: coffee machine broke

Plussat: good location,location,location.

Plussat: I love "historic hotels" and this is a really nice one, with the upgrades that matter--excellent, comfortable beds, free internet, good location, helpful staff.

Miinukset: You have to climb up stairs from the tiny lobby to the main floor. Is there wheel-chair access? I couldn't tell.

Plussat: Hotel was conveniently located and quiet generally. Since I only stayed for one night I did have time to form any strong opinions on the place.

Miinukset: I thought the price was high but perhaps not given the address on Penn. Ave. The staff failed to inform me when room was available having arrived early in the morning.

Plussat: Hotellin sijainti on erinomainen - aamulenkillä pystyy kiertämään Valkoisen talon, National Mallin, Watergaten ja jopa Pentagon/Arlington on lähietäisyydellä. Historiallinen sisätila saa yleiset tilat vaikuttamaan ahtailta, mutta huoneet ovat todella miellyttäviä.

Plussat: Vastaanotto vähän tympeä - vain yksi virkailija. Muuten hyvä palvelu.

Miinukset: Olin tyytyväinen kokonaisuutena hotelliin. Suosittelen.

Plussat: coosiness

Miinukset: the elevator is really outdated

Plussat: Friendliness of the staff

Plussat: Staff far more "accessible", more communicative. Seemed also to be more folk around to help ... bellmen, etc.

Miinukset: I can never remember how to run the thermostats ... I wish each room had an instruction card. Had to chuckle >>> When checking out, I noted to staff that the toilet might be clogged ... they gve me a comment card and suggested I mail the report of my jammed toilet in! I guess my comment lost something in its presentation, all wokred out oki.

Plussat: The room was very spacious and very well located.

Miinukset: The staff service was particularly slow. We booked in for the Thanksgiving set dinner at the Cafe Lombardy, but when we sat down were initially told there was no more turkey. When pushed, the waiter said we could have the last serve and informed another table they would have to choose from the A la carte menu.

Plussat: Great welcome from the doorman to the elevator operator (yes, they have old fashioned elevators); all staff seemed very interested in helping guests in every way; well-maintained and updated older hotel with great character

Plussat: This hotel was amazing! Beautiful inside and out! Staff was more that helpful. Rooms were extremely clean. Prime location for this area! One way was less than a mile from Georgetown waterfront park which had multiple restaurants right on the river. The other way was about a mile to The White House and monuments. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to D.C. for the historic landmarks during the day and the patio bar scene at night!

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing. This place was exactly what we were looking for!

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: All the absurd hidden fees

Plussat: Erinomainen sijainti.

Miinukset: Huone oli aluksi kylmä. En saannut lämmitystä toimimaan.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Location, nice room, friendlyvstaff

Miinukset: Shower was terrible, tub leaked everywhere. TV was awful, with limited channels. A/C didn't work. Windows opened all the way, you could jump out.

Plussat: I loved the staff the valet service doesn’t work for me especially pre virus stage.

Miinukset: . I would book again but please offer self parking

Plussat: Excellent hotel with a great location and price!

Plussat: Everything.. I would recommend this to anybody..and i am definitely staying there again..

Plussat: They helped my new wife and I celebrate our quarantine honeymoon with as much flair as possible!

Plussat: Love the location. Guest services personnel are very polite and helpful.

Miinukset: Cleanliness of the rooms. Lack of communication about changes and interruptions in service due to covid-19. I understand that many changes are necessary to keep people safe but there was no communication regarding these changes so I was completely surprised when I arrived and found out that parking was 4 blocks away and we had to walk back to the hotel at 1am. Also the fact that there was no service of food or drink in the hotel and nothing to replace it. No vending machines or prepackaged foods... no nuts, chips, nothing! Also was put into a room that seemed it had not been cleaned in a LONG time. Unacceptable. I will not be back. The 5 star rating should be 3 stars at the most.

Plussat: Room was large stayed in a executive suite. Separate bedroom was nice and isolated any noise.

Miinukset: I would highly recommend the hotel invest in a revolving door at the main entrance in the lobby. The bar and restaurant are there and on a cold windy night when the doors are open the wind jand cold just blow right in diminishing the warm feel the bar has

Plussat: The facility is perfect

Miinukset: The staff in charge of parking is not as good as i thought to be

Plussat: Close to monuments in Washington DC

Miinukset: Do you have to tip? Tipping is stupid.

Plussat: Since I was in DC as a tourist, its location in central DC, close to public transport, friendly staff, etc. werer much appreciated.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The staff. They were so friendly and helpful. Very welcoming and greeted us personally each time we passed through the lobby.

Plussat: I enjoyed the classic design of the hotel. Not a "cookie cutter" hotel, like the major chains, which are too sterile. Nice dining room.

Miinukset: The ceiling in the shower is in need of repair

Plussat: sijainti

Plussat: close to metro-easy to get around

Miinukset: no pool

Plussat: Great room, very clean, and well appointed.

Miinukset: The exorbitant charge for using the in house phone (although I was warned by the concierge

Plussat: Good value for money for an excellent room

Plussat: The staff were very helpfull and the hotel was very clea and the location was excellent

Plussat: Yakkell, the concierge, was friendly and always eager to please, but she was clearly at the mercy of a management staff that would change policy on her day to day.

Miinukset: The housekeeping was so so. The carpets were filthy and the air conditioning didn't work so when the temperature in Washington took a sudden climb the room was sweltering. The dining room had similarly low housekeeping standards. The morning I left I stopped in for breakfast and was seated twice at tables with dirty linens and crumbs.

Plussat: Excellent hotel. Wonderful combinations of retro look with modern conveniences.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: The hotel can be reached comfortably by public transport. Service is friendly and the breakfast is fairly decent.

Miinukset: Upon checking out, my colleagues and I had to discover several items on our hotel bills that bore no relation to our actual stay. After some haggling, the staff eventually conceded that - e.g. having arrived by plane and public transport - we could probably not have used the valet parking ... Even later, minor items were charged twice to my credit card, without any prior notice or prior explanation given by the hotel management.

Plussat: Great location. Central to all parts of town. Awesome view of the Potomac river.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The luxurious atmosphere and costumer service. It was better than I expected since I knew it was an old hotel. I learned it was remodeled. The bathrobe was the best!

Miinukset: My room didn't have a bathtub. There is an extra charge for use of the amenities and I forgot about that, therefore I didn't use them. That kind of upset me, but it s my fault.

Plussat: We loved the location it had a beautiful view and was only a block away from the metro. Our room was amazing and so comfortable. I absolutely loved the shower. You are given robes and slippers the robe is so soft and comfortable. Everything was exceptionally clean. After a long day when we got back to our room everything was cleaned daily, SOOO NICE!!

Miinukset: There was really nothing that we didn't like about our stay.

Plussat: The room was amazing, a beautiful view over the Potomac. We could see the amazing sunsets, watch students rowing on the river and look out on the people simply taking a walk. We loved the pool, and I was impressed by the gym, which was very good for a hotel, in my experience. The lifts were very fast! Service was always cheerful and friendly.

Miinukset: Breakfast was probably the least favourite bit. The buffet was a bit unimaginative, although there was a good range of food to order.

Plussat: Very clean, friendly staff, and great location..

Miinukset: Very poor breakfast..

Plussat: The Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Miinukset: It was difficult to determine where to park.

Plussat: Historic, clean, good view of river/courtyard

Plussat: Excellent breakfast. Room with river view was spacious and comfortable. Hotel is moderate walking distance to some restaurants and Lincoln Memorial at the beginning of the National Mall. Quick cab ride from museums at far end of Mall.

Miinukset: The hot tub in pool area was still cool at 10:00 am on our last morning.

Plussat: everything

Miinukset: nothng

Plussat: Excellent staff, top notch customer service- particularly from the front desk, very accommodating. Staff went above and beyond throughout our stay.
