As much as I hate to be negative I have to say I would never ever stay here again. Other reviewers have stated that the lobby is nice and that much is true; its just too bad that the rooms are so grungy! The bathrooms need to be completely gutted and re-done. They could not have been touched for at... more

Positives: Good location- with in walking distance to the mall, metro stop in basement, quirky store in lobby (lots of diverse fashions) Negatives: Indifferent staff, we were given a room with a broken fan making a horrible noise, they wouldn't move us and insisted on sending up a mechanic, then after he confirmed the problem would take hours to fix... more

I must say I was very wary of this hotel after reading previous reviews but was very pleased once I got there. My family stayed for 3 nights on vacation. I believe that we got lucky and got a good room. Big enough for the 4 of us. Comfortable beds and very soft linens. The bathroom did have a couple... more

The main reason we stayed here was for the location - we wanted to sightsee along the National Mall. We stayed for 3 days, and I really have no major complaints about it. The room was comfortable, the staff was reasonably friendly. Our daughter was given a welcome gift with a beanie baby. We also had a dog and a... more

I stayed at the L'Enfant while attending the NEA Convention and found this hotel to be very enjoyable. The staff was wonderful and treated me like visiting royalty, seeing to my every need. My room was immaculately cleaned every day and the bed and linens were crisp and luxurious. The air conditioning was quiet, as was the hall, so sleep... more

The Starbucks on site was very handy. Foggy Bottom pub on site was very good and good quality. Hotel had great access to metro... more

I stayed at L'Enfant Plaza Hotel for a convention. I had read reviews before my trip on TripAdvisor that caused me some alarm about this hotel. During my stay, I noticed several of the previous review details were true. The contruction noise happened between 4-8pm, the fire-alarm went off one morning, my faucet dripped the whole time, the pool had... more

I stayed at the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel for seven nights during the first week of July. The location is NOT worth the extreme pain of staying at this establishment. My room on the 15th floor was filthy; some areas could not have been cleaned for months. The carpet was frayed and coming loose in the corners of the room. The... more

Seriously one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at - and this includes some dumps in the middle of nowhere. How can this place be listed as a 4 star hotel??? I have to say the lobby was nice and the convenience of the hotel and the metro could not be beat. Those are the only positives I... more
