8/10 Good

Staff was friendly.
Jorge, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good location very near downtown.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a lovely, small boutique hotel. My room was small but sparkling clean as was the bathroom. An iron and ironing board, hair dryer and the usual small bottles of soap and shampoo were in the room. And, great internet access. The hotel is located in a lovely residential area where I easily found safe, street parking for the weekend. The hotel keeps the front desk open 24/7 and in the morning hot coffee is available. I don’t consider this a con but this is not a hotel if you are planning to spend a lot of time in your room. It’s definitely for those who want a quiet place to sleep and to get dressed and out in the morning…
Suzanne, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel was quite standard, with basic amenities and services.

Basic but does the job
OSCAR, 10-night trip

8/10 Good

Clean and convenient. Majority of staff (save one at the front) were pleasant and helpful. Aside from key swipe to get into my room never working, all was fine. And yes, the AC worked, which was crucial, given the temp was ~100 degrees F most of my visit!
Edward, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great staff, clean & cute boutique hotel.
Evelyn, 1-night trip

LUIS, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

It is an old historic place, and is reasonably well kept.
Patricia, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The Windsor Inn was a throwback to an earlier age with great working AC, and though the room was small, it did provide everything I needed for one person on a business trip. It was not fancy but very serviceable and very right on the price for DC.

Hundred and Ten percent World Class Customer Service, thanks for Team support and the Amazing experience that you provide.

4/10 Poor

This hotel has had years of bad renovations. It is pretty rundown
John, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent for a night away.

For a one night stay when you have plans. This hotel is a budget friendly option. If you just need a place to lay your head, I would recommend for a day trip but not for a week unless you’re really on a budget or traveling alone. The location is excellent. There’s ample on street parking surrounding the in on the weekends. It’s a good 30 minute walk to Dupont Circle or the Lincoln theater.
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The property is good for budget travelers, staff was friendly, great location, easy to reach and cozy
AHMED, 7-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Hotel is very old, carpet was smelly, shower was unclean and mildew, missing tiles in the shower can cut your feet, sink falling apart. No elevator, no water at all for customers, not even to purchase. Terrible experience. I will never stay here again.
Alec, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Unique charming older property in DC

6/10 Okay

No refrigerator, no security box, no body wash. The build in old, so the noise is bad.
Yosuke, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This place was so cute and in a fabulous location. It was quaint and clean with lovely staff and quirky decor.
Alexandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Enjoyed the outdoor seating area.
Caroline, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Great spot, safe and walkable, lots of dining options, YMCA close by. A very clean bedroom and bathroom. Sparkling white sheets and towels. Coffee and tea in the lobby complimentary 24/7. Staff is excellent. An old building which could use a lot of TLC but everything works great. Just for spending a night or a few while enjoying the city, a very affordable option. Thank you for your hospitality.
