Prompt check in tho free early check in would make me want to stay here again, room dated, shared bathroom not ideal but was clean, a great place not too far from centre for an overnight place to stay with free breakfast at reasonable cost. Yes it was hot in the room but then it was outside too

Great staycst the Washington. I loved the older feel of this hotel and the staff were so friendly and helpful. I think the place is just needing some redecoration where paint is ageing and chipping. Loved the fresh ground coffee option in the room, just maybe needed a little more of that in the jar. I would stay here again.
