My room was always warm, extremely clean and very inviting. The Mayflower was a lovely hotel located in the heart of Downtown DC, just blocks from the White House.

Fantastic location near metro. Very poor room view. Loved the hotel - very close to the Metro - convenient for travel. Room view was horrible - overlooked air conditioning units.

Old school hotel with great charm and curb appeal. Noisy. Doors/walls not very sound-proof. Charming, old school hotel with grand lobby, great location and easy access to Metro system. Bed was comfortable and room was larger than I was expecting. Overall, great place to stay. Great value on Priceline.

Others attending the same conference booked though the hotel at a special conference rate - which was significantly higher than we paid through Orbitz. The service was excellent. Check in and check out was flawless and took less than a minute.

Staff was very attentive, accommodating, and professional. Great location for vacation travelers. No flat screen TV, limited channel lineup. I would recommended this hotel for anyone who is vacationing in the DC area. Very convenient to the Metro with plenty of restaurants and stores within walking distance from hotel. The hotel staff was very professional and accommodating to my needs. I would definitely stay here again.

Very nice upscale hotel. We had a great time. The concierge service was superb, although you should offer more than one tour shuttle. I was a little disappointed that we could have taken the tour mobile which goes through the Arlington Cemetery, but was told that they prefer the Trolley. My mom was with us and at 80 years old it was a little tough to walk the hills in the cemetery. Other than that, the concierge were wonderful and very helpful. Thank you for a great experience.

Good location to D.C. sites. No pool or gym on premises. Had to go 2 blocks to the area Y. No freebies here. Everything from parking to WiFi costs extra, and the mini bar must of had golden drinks for the price they asked. Not a place to stay.

The location was excellent (very close to Metro and within walking distance of White House) and numerous restaurants; large room. Noise. We were a family of four traveling with 2 children. At check-in, were originally offered a room with one queen bed. When we politely asked for two doubles, we were accommodated. We were very pleased with the size, cleanliness and comfort of room and bathroom. However, it was noisy (right above an air exchange). Given the location and beauty of the hotel, we considered it a very fair value for the money. Wonderful stay.

Our first suite was lowest level with views of the air conditioning equipment. Dirty carpets, no view, no king bed, no decor. After arguing with the front desk, front desk manager and assistant manager, we got an 8th floor suite. They ""don't have any control over 3rd party vendors"" (travelocity) therefore they won't match their own lower pricing offered prior to arrival, won't confirm bedding, won't really care that you overpaid by $130 a night. Hotel breakfast was obviously union labor on their own schedule. Black mold in the shower grout, filthy carpeting, no pool or sauna. This DC landmark needs a new owner. Won't stay at a Renaissance hotel ever again.

Great location next to the Metro and very elegant lobby and hotel. Room was clean and comfortable, although I was told they had queen beds and got double beds instead. That made for sleeping somewhat difficult with four people. Would stay here again with just two people, although would also check other places, too.

What has happened to my beloved Mayflower? This was always my hotel of choice in DC when traveling on business, and I usually added a personal day before or after business. Things have changed. The rooms now have modern furniture, which does not fit in with the Mayflower's grand lobby. The rooms are still nice, the beds are still comfortable, but it's just not the same. Now this is your typical, run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter Marriott, but without plasma televisions. Unfortunately this is not what I want in DC. I will be looking elsewhere next time.

This was a very good hotel experience all the way around. All staff was very friendly and helpful. It was clean and quiet. I only ate breakfast at the hotel, but the $18 breakfast included many tasty choices - especially fruits - tasty and ripe. The gym was nice with new equipment. However, for free-weights there were only dumbells. I was hoping for barbells - but no big deal.

While there, the outdoor temperature was 95 to 100 each day, and my room a/c kept me plenty chilly when needed. Staff was always posted in the lobby ready, and offering, to help. Valet parking is pricey at $35 per night, but when I handed the keys to the valet on Saturday night, he suggested I try a spot on the street for free to save me the money. I happily found one in the first spot around the corner. He could have easily taken my $35, but didn't.

The location is great. The Metro (subway) station is on the same block. The Metro takes you to all the places a tourist should want to go. The rate to The Smithsonian area is only $1.35. I flew into Washington National Airport, got on the subway there and took it all the way to the hotel for only $1.70.( I rented the car for only two of my 7 days here so I could visit friends outside the city.)

Excellent restaurants are all over the place - especially two blocks over along 19th Street. Across the street you can shop at The Gap, Victoria's Secret. Or just jump on the Metro and head to Freedom Heights ($1.70) and you've got Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor, etc. at the mall.

So, a terrific hotel for your trip to Washington D.C.

Location was excellent. The location was very noisy. The Panache club has a very loud speaker system. Great location, however, the downside is that it was noisy.

Friendly, helpful, and trusting personnel. We were given excellent advice about parking without asking. View. To use computers for e-mails was $.59 a minute which was very expensive. The woman at the desk gave us all options on parking. She did not describe only the more expensive option that the hotel offered. This candid advice was refreshing after some of the sale's jobs that some hotels give. We asked for extra packets of coffee. This request was answered politely and quickly. These examples underscore the wonderful personnel that the hotel employs.

The ambiance was stunning. Fabulous. Other than no water pressure in the shower, it was a beautiful stay. Staff was friendly and attentive. The room/building was beautiful (however our room had a view of the HVAC center).
