We stayed 4 nights in the Hotel Lombardy in March 2008. The hotel is quaint and has a historic charm that cannot be found in the newer chains. We found the staff to be friendly. We had no issues with the manual elevator, but chose to take the stairs to our third floor room when we were not carrying our... more

This hotel was a great stay for us. First off, the location is superb--2 1/2 blocks to the Metro but also walking distance, if you are walkers, to lots of things--Vietnam Memorial, Georgetown, etc. Right on the edge of GWU campus which was always enjoyable to walk through. We had a nice room with a view on the 10th floor.... more

This was the best Christmas surprise ever and the most charming hotel we've ever stayed in. We were there from December 24 to December 28, and from checking in to departure, the service was smooth and seamless, without being obsequious. On the first morning, we left the room for 45 minutes for breakfast, and when we returned, the maid had... more

This hotel was a real find. The rate was exceptional. Every single member of the staff was extremely courteous and just went out of their way to make our stay a first rate experience. We even had a couple of requests out of the norm and they just took them in stride and got it done immediately. The room was... more

Convenient Location: Walking distance to White House, National Mall, major points of interest. Also, just across the street, 2000 Pennsylvania facade, are several places to get a quick bite or replenish water supply, Au Bon Pain, Bertucci's, Kinkeads (seafood restaurant), a Mexican restaurant and TGIF also nearby. Getting Around: Cab fare throughout Zone 1 was $6.50, $1.50 for a second... more

In DC alone? Then this could be a great hotel for you. It's an old, charming building (complete with elevator operater - I found it so quaint!) I was in DC for a business related meeting, but had to pay my own way. I was only in the hotel from 9 pm to 7:30 am - so all I needed... more

My wife and I stayed here for a brief weekend stay. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. We took full advantage of DC free weekend on-street parking so no worries about having to pay the hotel to valet. We could walk EVERYWHERE from our hotel location, and where we couldn't walk, the subway station was just a few blocks... more

I stayed at this "boutique" hotel for 4 nights in July. I was in DC for both business and a mini-vacation. Overall I would not stay here again. Pros: close to a lot of tourist attractions (walking distance to the mall, Georgetown, etc.), very nice doormen, several restaurants nearby, and the bed was VERY comfortable. If the bed hadn't been... more

We did not have any of the problems that some of the reviewers experienced. We never had to wait too long for the elevator, which they even let my son operate! Our a/c worked very well and the staff was extraordinarily courteous. There were tons of restaurants in the area and it was near the subway, which was quite easy... more
