We spent one night here enroute to the south from Ontario. The hotel is in the wonderful old downtown area of Washington PA. Lots of great architecture to be seen. The hotel is really old, filled with character, clean and quiet and mostly updated within the limitations of a building this old. Simple amenities in the bathroom, but clean and... More

I travel a lot on business and am not a difficult customer. I used to work in remote oilfields - so have I stayed in some rough places. I never ever experienced a place like this. The exterior is ragged. The lobby is old and tired. When I arrived, there was nobody at the front desk for a very long... More

It seemed clean enough, but VERY noisy. The walls are paper thin, loud banging doors, and you hear all outside noises including a clock that chimes every 15minutes. The mattress was creaky every time I moved. Got no sleep. Small bathroom with no room to put your belongings. No hot water in the faucet. Only one nightstand. Certainly not worth... More

After seeing the reviews on this site I was concerned about having all my family and friends stay here for our wedding. I can't believe how different the experience was vs. the reviews. Everyone went out of their way to make my groom and I and all our guests have a wonderful stay. TJ was very attentive to everyone's needs.... More

I have been staying at the hotel now over the last month for about 2 - 3 days per week. The rooms are furnished exquisitely and are very clean. I have found the staff very friendly, accommodating and egar to do what is necessary to make my stays pleasant. The desk staff always speaks and calls me by name when... More

By far the worst place we have ever traveled. We were there for a wedding and the fire alarms kept going off. Understanding it was a new system and they had no organization. I watched the Director of Operations act as if he was to good to do actual work. Also, I found 2 roaches on the 6th floor. The... More

Wow! We were fortunate to be invited to a friend's wedding that was being held at the George Washington hotel. Initially we were going to stay at the Springhill Suites but decided last minute to go ahead and stay at the venue....BIG MISTAKE! Apparently, the hotel is undergoing renovations, but while I saw lots of opportunities for improvements I didn't... More

What a beautiful, clean, and comfortable room the Marilyn Monroe Suite was. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The room had a huge bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and large shower. The towels were extra soft and the bed was the the most confortable ever (firm mattress and pillow). And we really loved watching the sun rise in... More

My wife regularly attends board meetings at the local college and likes the location of the hotel. It has improved, but hasn't tackled the bit ticket items that makes this hotel a poor choice when modern hotels are within 5 miles. Climate control doesn't exist. Our suite was 90 degrees in the living room and less than 65 in the... More

I'm sorry to say that I can't continue to recommend the George Washington Hotel. We came again and not only were the much needed upgrades not finished but many of their great staff had left and had been replaced with untrained fast food workers. When we had stayed we were the only ones in the building. This time the hotel... More
