Stayed on the top floor (16th) with a direct view of the Capitol. I asked for it when I reserved the room (based on other Trip Advisor reviews), and they accommodated my request. It was beautiful!!! Especially at night, when it's all lit up. Great view! The hotel lobby is pretty with a glass atrium & glass elevator (but not... More

Hi, We stayed in September last year 2011. Finally (after having moved house etc) to reviewing our holiday. We booked the Washington Court as the rate was good and a few people on Trip Advisor said it was a good location. They were right. We arrived from New York via train so all of us had a backpack and large... More

We chose the Washington Court because it is well located withing walking distance of Union Station and The Capitol. It's a large, modern hotel with a huge glass covered lobby, which contains the bar, restaurant and lots of sitting and meeting space. When we arrived in the late afternoon on a Friday, the lobby was packed with businessmen and politicians.... More

I was on a business trip to DC and the Washington Court hotel was recommended to me due to it's proximity to my meeting. I was travelling and temporarily without internet at the time, so I called the hotel to make my reservation. It was a nightmare. I was cut off three times, put on hold for 10+ minutes, belittled,...

Stayed here 2 nights. Extremely comfortable and classy hotel. Rooms were very spacious and modern. The bed was super comfortable and plush. The bathroom was very big and featured a double-headed shower, which is always good after a long day sightseeing. From our hotel room, you could see the Capitol Building. It was situated close to Union Station and bus... More

Three night stay here for a conference while Cherry Blossoms were out. Overall, nice property -- some minor issues at check-in, as the room wasn't ready on time and the staff seemed overwhelmed, but the room itself was clean and well-appointed. Lobby would also seem to be a good place for a drink or two after work - very large... More

This hotel is right at the base of Capitol Hill. Many rooms have a gorgeous view of the Capitol and surrounding buildings. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. The non-accessible rooms do not have bathroom doorways wide enough to fit a wheelchair (as with most hotels) but they do have convenient ramps in the gorgeous lobby to allow an easy... More

Spring weekend at the Washington Court was very comfortable. Hotel is in good location near capitol building. Very comfortable beds. I found cheaper weakend rates by calling hotel directly. I would recommend that especially if you have a special room request. Would stay again

Simple rooms, great location. Next time I'll stay at a Kimpton but over all not a bad hotel.
