What to do in Fort Washington
One day tour Washington & Philadelphia from New York
"Staff were exceptionally, as is the property and view. I extended my stay in part due to the courtesy of the first staff member who checked me in. She was 100 percent welcoming and attentive. My companion and I were equally impressed. Having stayed at hotels all over the world and to numerous to count during military, federal government and private industry travel, one of my very best experiences."
"The room was clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast could have had a little more variety, and it may not even be the fault of the property. The breakfast buffet was presented nicely. The parking was adequate and the hotel is conveniently located, and near to the George Washington Historic Mansion tour as well as Washington DC."
