Loved the location and affordable. Enjoyed its history!

Jana, United States of America

The hotel describes itself as a 'tourist hotel', which is what it is. It's location close to the Washington Mall is excellent. It's also accessible by Metro from the National (Reagan) Airport. There is a restaurant on the premises, but breakfasts are of sub-standard quality quality- early evening meals are fine though. The hotel does appear rather 'tired', but it is good value for its location.

Robert, United Kingdom

It was fun being in an older hotel in DC and the location was excellent!

Ken, United States of America

Excellent location to walk to a lot of the Smithsonian Museums, shops, and restaurants. The restaurants (2) in the hotel were excellent: large breakfast buffet starting at 6:30am for us early risers. Large variety on the menu, and very large portions - if you are a small eater, 2 people can share one meal. The 2nd restaurant is more for the evening crowds, drinking, loud music, etc., same menu in both restaurants. We had a small queen room - it was small, but the mattress was firm and comfortable, and we were out all day. The hotel is old, but historic, priced well, friendly staff. I would stay there again.

Lana, United States of America

the staff was really great and very helpful, the location was excellent close to everything. the food in the hotel was good too.!

Russell, United States of America

The location is perfect for a walking tour of the City

Kim, United States of America

The staff was really nice and ready to help. Since check in, they provide maps and information about the area, main attractions and city tours options. The location is convenient and close to the main attractions. The area is very safe and with many options for dinner. If you like coffee and good desserts, you should visit Paul Bakery and café. This café serves one of the best croissants in DC, and is close to the hotel location. About the room it was clean and fresh. The bed was comfortable. The maids do their best keeping the rooms clean, and the guests happy with coffee amenities. I have enjoy my stay :)

Patricia, Panama

The staff was nice. Room was clean but because of the condition of the wall paper, baseboards , and furniture it made it look dirty. Bed was comfortable, room was very quiet, and the room air temperature was good. Overnight parking was not far from the hotel with a very reasonable rate compared to other hotels.

Mary, United States of America

Great location and size for the cost. Our 3 kids under 7 LOVED it. It's old, but I think that added to its character.

Sharon, United States of America

The hotel is alright. It's kinda old but clean. I did not like where my room was located though. We always passed towards the kitchen/service rooms when using the elevator. The price is too high too for the type of room I got.

An Inside Look at Hotel Harrington

Designed by the architectural firm Rich & FitzSimons, the six-story hotel boasted a dining room and two-story lobby with a mezzanine, all finished in marble. Upstairs, mahogany-trimmed hallways led to 80 rooms, all with running water and most with private baths. The hotel proved so successful that in 1918 Mills and McCutchen doubled the size of the lobby and built a 12-story annex along E Street, containing a two-story ballroom and 100 additional rooms. The Harrington now ranked among the city's largest hotels. A final expansion in 1925, a 12-story wing with another 125 rooms, filled in the rest of the E Street block to 12th Street. In 1932 the hotel installed Art Deco embellishments, including the stainless steel canopy, with back-lit letters, over the front entrance. Always innovative, the Harrington in 1938 became DC's first air-conditioned hotel. Late 1940s modernization resulted in reduced ceiling heights in the ballroom and lobby, and modern finishes and furnishings throughout the building. The hotel has provided a comfortable home-away-from-home for its guests—more than 10 million of them over the years—as well as for its employees.

눉The place is SO old, run down, and plain squalid. The bathroom smells like mold. The room was full of noises. I had a 3 nights reservation and I left at 7 am after one night. One the bright side, the personnel is very kind. the location is also very good. But for a 30-40$ more per night you can find totally awesome places in the same area.

눉The rooms are designed "funny". The bathroom is "cut" into the next room, at least that is how they were on our floor - #11. This makes it a little noisy when someone is taking a shower in the next room at odd hours - you hear the water running, and voices.
눇Excellent location to walk to a lot of the Smithsonian Museums, shops, and restaurants. The restaurants (2) in the hotel were excellent: large breakfast buffet starting at 6:30am for us early risers. Large variety on the menu, and very large portions - if you are a small eater, 2 people can share one meal. The 2nd restaurant is more for the evening crowds, drinking, loud music, etc., same menu in both restaurants. We had a small queen room - it was small, but the mattress was firm and comfortable, and we were out all day. The hotel is old, but historic, priced well, friendly staff. I would stay there again.

눉Run down, food quality and our room was not ready at check in time
눇The breakfast buffet was well thought out with great selection. The quality of the food however was not very good. The bar was great and it had outside seating with smoking available which I personally liked. Service was a bit slow but I was ok with that. Thus entire hotel was dated to the extreme. The place is simply run down and in dire need of updating. Gutting it and starting from scratch would be best but at least all new bathrooms (ours looked to be untouched since the 40s) flat screen tv's, new furnishings and windows should be done like last week. As bad as the hotel was, you simply cannot beat the location or the price. We will use this hotel in the future. I understand that the reason the prices are so low is due to the fact the hotel has been untouched but I feel it's time to bite the bullet and start making changes.

눉There was no air conditioning, so we had the windows open. It's in a very busy D.C. corner with lots of noisy foot traffic till the early hours of the morning. When that stopped, there were trucks going through. Did not get too much sleep the night before the half marathon. :-(
눇It was close to the start of the navy half marathon race.
