My husband and I stayed here while celebrating our anniversary in DC. We have stayed at many hotels in the DC area over the past several years, but this is, by far, hands down the best one. The staff and everyone that worked at the hotel made the experience extra special and wonderful. It is one of the reasons that this hotel is not only worth the money but also is on another level. The hotel and rooms are beautiful and clean. There are many extra details and special touches in the room. Every interaction with all staff throughout the entire stay was welcoming, positive, helpful, and lovely. The location was perfect as you can walk to many restaurants, museums, and the White House. We dined in The Lafayette for breakfast, and again, beautiful room, the food was great, and the staff was professional, accommodating, and nice. The coffee was even good. There is even a cool bar... It won't be easy to stay in other hotels after staying at The Hay-Adams!
