I needed to book a room in Washington on short notice and I decided to give the George Washington a shot based on the web site I found. We arrived at check in time - 3pm on Saturday. The guy at the desk told us he thought the maid was done cleaning the room. We went upstairs and she was still in the room. We waited for about 40 minutes in a sitting area right off of the elevators till she cleared out of the room. When we entered the room, I found the shower hardware laying on the toilet and there was hair in the tub which had many stains which I took as more dirt. We decided to go to dinner while the problem was fixed. The guy at the front desk told us that the maid had reported the issue with the hardware from the room but he didn't know how to find us. Umm, I booked the room with a cell phone and I'm pretty sure I gave that number to them....That night, there was a children's christmas party in the suite down the hall which we could hear them plain as day and also an adults party in the ground floors which we could identify the music being played from our suite on the 6th floor. The TVs must be tuned from an antenna since there were only 10 or so channels and half of those are CSPAN and Shopping and crap channels. The next morning, we got up early because we had to be at our event at 8:30am. I turned on the water in the tub and it was ice cold. I let it run for ten minutes and then my wife called the desk to ask them why we had no hot water. The girl at the desk was unaware and said she would call back. 10 minutes later WE called back and were told there was no hot water to any rooms. We skipped the shower to avoid being late and went to check out. I put the key on the counter and this girl said 'Okay that's all I need'. Then, as I hesitated to leave since I was expecting an offer of a partial refund or at least a heartfelt apology, she asked if I needed another receipt or something.

I just stayed at this hotel for a weekend wedding and was appalled at the condition of the facility.

During our one night stay, we experienced two rooms. We moved from our first room due to an offensive odor, blood stained sheets and walls that were so thin I felt like my neighbors were on the pillow next to me. Management moved us to a suite on the same floor, but unfortunately it was only a larger, not better, room. This room had holes in the ceiling, no shower curtain, a dirty toilet seat and a crack under the door that a dog could have crawled under. After switching rooms we were so disgusted by the rooms cleanliness that we went to Wal Mart at midnight to purchase sleeping bags and our own pillowcases.

On business for a couple of days in Washington, The George Washington Hotel was perfect for me, room was very clean and spacious...They have a bar and restaurant on site which was a big plus for me not to have to go anywhere after a long day working. Staff was great...
Read other reveiws and I was surprised of the negativity..Staff was very very helpful...

Wow, where to begin. This is by far the worst overnight experience I have ever had in 26 years of travelling. Smack dab in the middle of Main Street of the most depressed town hosting the most degenerate group of employees I have ever witnessed, you will find the Historic George Washington Hotel. What a joke. The room was of abhorant condition. It was too hot to sleep, dirty and cheap decor throughout. The restaurant food was worse than the crap they serve in an inner city cafeteria. Even worse than the food, was the person who served it. Really! I can't even begin to explain the level of unprofessionalism exuded by this woman. It's beyond belief. I could go on forever about why you should avoid this hotel like the plague...believe the other negative reviews, they are true! Best advice, call the hotel and ask a few questions. Let the ineptitude of the staff be a clear indication of what your stay will be like.
