"The Riggs is a beautiful old bank building, with comfortable rooms and attentive staff. They make great cocktails too!
The Riggs is in a great location too - all the main sites are walkable - the Mall is only a few minutes away from where you can see all the main sights including the Capitol and Washington Monument.
If you need to go further afield, the Metro is very efficient and cheap, with a station not far from the hotel. In all an ideal location to explore Washington DC"
"The hotel itself was fine. The staff was great. We were in town for sightseeing, and I would not recommend this hotel for that purpose. I regret not paying a little extra to stay closer to the White House area or even in Alexandria - we loved the feel of that area. That being said, I would still stay here again if I needed to be in the area. "
"This hotel is a winner--customer service at the front desk was outstanding, rooms were neat as a pin and nicely designed. It wasn't in a super exciting part of town--mostly big office buildings, but easy access to parking garage, a Tatte around the corner for breakfast, and close to the Judiciary Square Metro stop that made it easy to get around. Highly recommend!"
