	Date of Stay: July, 2009
Nice hotel, great location. Close to Metro station and a short walk to Dupont and Logan Circle neighborhoods. Friendly staff. Only downside - no wireless in the rooms and a very short cord.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
The lobby waas pretty. The staff was not helpful regarding activities. I asked about the Jazz Festival and the person tried to tell me it was the weekend before. Good location. Metro was very close. The lobby was very attractive. I did not find the staff helpful.

	Date of Stay: May, 2008
Still a Grand Hotel....Restaurants a bit pricey....Go away from the area to Logan Circle to find great reasonable restaurant ...ThaiTanic.......great for Thai food

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
We used the Metro to see all the sights.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Not much. Nice sense of history. Small outdated rooms. No WiFi A tired, overrated hotel.

	Date of Stay: January, 2008
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.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
We checked in very late and didn't get the bed arrangement that we had requested. The following day they upgraded us (at no extra charge) to a very spacious executive double. Hotel is conveniently located 1 block from Metro. Concierge made some wonderful restaurant recommendation. Staff was very friendly; nice breakfast buffet; charming older hotel.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Great location, beautiful rooms and common space. Air conditioner was nosier then a motel 6 It was like a plane taking off when it turned on in the night. Very romantic and beautiful. Rooms are not big but beautiful and first class. Bath tub was too shallow for a bath marble through out. Fantastic lobby. Very Friendly staff.

Date of Stay: October, 2007

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.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
staff was friendly and courteous. rooms were spotless and very spacious. beautiful decor. located near popular restaurants and landmarks. would love to go back!

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
The location was great; the room spacious; and the lobby beautiful. The restaurant host was rude and they only serve brunch till noon on Sunday.

Date of Stay: August, 2007

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.

We appreciated the convenience to the Metro and DuPont Circle. We were actually close enough to walk to the White House and Mall area, and found many great restaurants nearby. We asked for a king size bed, and the add described the rooms having a living space. However, we were offered a queen or two doubles and told that even though we called the hotel to confirm a king size bed, the hotel doesn't actually offer confirmations. Apparently, you have to get a confirmation of the type of room you want in writing and bring it with you to the front desk upon registering. We were able to work it out, but it took two days and two conversations with the manager. Oh, and I think "living space" includes a desk and chair. The hotel is nice, safe, pretty clean and has ammenities that you would expect. The location is great -- you can't beat it. We're not sure we would pick this hotel if we were travelling with kids -- you need more room in the room and definitely a pool!!!

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Beautifully decorated. No flat panel TV. Everyone was friendly, although it seemed hardly anyone really spoke English. Room service was very expensive. The gift shop/convenience store was open long hours so you didn't have to pay $6 for a bottled water at the wet bar.

	Date of Stay: April, 2007
I spent hours trying to pick a nice hotel located withing walking distance of the Smithsonians, White House, etc. I didn't see any negative remarks about this hotel and I have to agree it was a great find!! The bathroom was awesome, beds comfy and far enough away from the crowds while still within walking distance of the Museums. Even my 10 yr old loved it!!

Date of Stay: May, 2009

We were met immediately at our car. Luggage was retrieved. We were taken to our room promptly and we had a lovely overnight stay. Dinner in the Promenade Cafe was delicious (Maryland crab cakes, soup, salad) Service was attentive and friendly. Continental breakfast and lunch were more than satisfactory. Throughout the stay we were very satisfied. Room was clean, bed very comfy. Only negatives were no tissue box anywhere in the smaller than usual bedroom.

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Great location. Near everything. This is an old hotel. The Mayflower is an old hotel located near Dupont Circle. Great location for this Grand Hotel. Attentive staff run this great hotel.

	Date of Stay: October, 2006
"We really loved our stay at the Mayflower. The room was simple but classic. The service was impeccable. We got the Romance package, would highly recommend. It includes complimentary bottle of champagne and buffet breakfast the next morning."

Date of Stay: May, 2009

I went to DC for the Memorial Day Weekend. I have been in a few, the same class hotels in DC before and have to admit that this one is the best so far. The room was very clean and big enough, bathroom absolutely amazing, big, new and really nice. The AC was a bit loud but I saw worse in different hotels. The only thing I didn't like was that on the street where our room's window was located was a club and I could hear the music until 2am. Try to pick a room on higher floor, mine was on second, and I believe that would help with the noise. Besides that everything was perfect. Will definitely come back there!

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Beautiful, comfortable and great location. Beautiful historic hotel, large rooms and very helpful concierge.
