“Hotel Harrington's age shows, yet its location near the National Mall and White House remains a distinct advantage. I see it as a practical choice for families and business travelers who prioritize access to D.C.'s landmarks, and I appreciate its family-friendly rooms. While some may find the decor a bit worn, the hotel's history and affordability strike me as its core appeal.”

My experience at the hotel was definitely a mixed bag. On one hand, the location is fantastic, making it super easy to explore all the major attractions around the area. The hotel itself has a certain charm, but the cleanliness of the rooms could definitely use some improvement. While the staff was warm and welcoming, the dining options didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, it feels like a decent place to stay if you're focused on location, but you might want to manage your expectations regarding room comfort and dining quality.

Rooms

The rooms were small and felt like they could benefit from a deep clean, although they were not unsanitary. The bathroom lacked an outlet for a hair dryer, which was inconvenient.

Dining

The dining experience was lacking; I found the breakfast to be just okay, and the restaurant's food didn't quite impress me.
Facilities

While the facilities were alright, I didn't have much opportunity to enjoy them, as they seemed somewhat dated compared to what I expected.
