MediocreSep 20193.3
That I realized the Mandarin Oriental is a far and above superior option in every single way.
The hotel seemed like an ultra luxurious spot but isn't. Poor Customer Service, clearly untrained staff that lacks proper etiquette and finesse. Room was completely underwhelming, outdated (so old that room telephones were from the 90's) not to mention the view of the side alley and trash from our only window in the room was just pathetic. Only Restaurant was not even available since it was closed. Even the car valet staff was abrasive and rude. Never coming back.

Great location across from the White House. Old world charm.
Bathroom too small. Typical of “old” style - nowhere to put personal toiletries or hang damp towels. Poor lighting for a woman applying makeup. Poor lighting in bedroom.

The bed was very comfortable. The service was impeccable and the meals in the Lafayette room were flawless. The staff were very pleasant and professional.
As is typical with a booking site, the room didn’t have any view at all. But if that’s the worst I have to endure to stay in a property like this, I can deal with it.

Great location, elegant setting, nice space.
The check out took a while, that’s the only thing that really bothered us.
