The location was amazing it was right along a bus line and very near everything that we wanted to do during our vacation. The main lobby was a cozy space that made you feel at home and the staff was very nice and also helpful. We will definitely come and stay again.

After staying at this hotel, I was surprised at the overall low rating. While it is an older property, it was clean and well-kept. The location was convenient to off-site parking and metro. It was only about a 45 minute walk to the National Mall. The neighborhood was nice.

This quaint inn was an excellent stay in Washington DC. The staff was super nice and helpful. The location was real close to the DC sights (1.3 miles straight down 16th to The White House). Bikes, metro everywhere and it all clicked to provide a fabulous dip in the huge pool of sights and sounds of the nations capital. This is a great place with wonderful people.
You’ll love this place (except lack of elevator) what do you expect!

The area has some quick restuarants very close. About a five minute walk is the Dupont Circle area with lots of restuarants, entertainment and convenience stores. The hotel is older/dated with zero amenities. Beds are average at best but the area is very quiet and very safe.

I told myself "at least it's cheap!" because the photos looked horrifying, but the Windsor Inn is quiet, charming, and the photos don't do it justice. No elevator might bother some folks, and having a bathroom sink in the sleeping area was strange, but the shower was clean with good water pressure. Wi-Fi was reliable with a secure network. Front desk staff was very friendly and held my luggage for a few hours after checkout. Neighborhood is serene and beautiful with some cheap food options (Bandit Taco) nearby. Can't beat it for the price!

Room was clean, a bit dated but good enough for what I needed. Had an early flight in so my room was not ready yet. The man at the desk in the morning was super nice and helpful. The afternoon man at the desk was rude. Had to wait for him to finish watching a video on his phone before he’d help me.

The location is good, but the interior furniture is not. I understand they try to maintain a legacy look, but the actual furniture in the room was just old and poorly maintained. There was nothing charming about it.
