The hotel can be very expensive, and if you have ever stayed at a 4 seasons, you will be disappointed. The hotel is gorgeous, and the staff is amazing. Nonetheless, the rooms are old and antiquated. The room I stayed in was $589.99 a night and had furniture from the 1920's. The only part of the room that was updated was the bathroom with granite counter tops. The bathroom lacks jacuzzi tubs, or a separate shower. The main bedroom had old wallpaper, most views are not that spectacular, and they have not updated the linens nor the technologies. They are missing flat screen tv's and cd alarm clocks. Most rooms closet space is adequate but not spectacular. I would not recommend this hotel if you are looking for a gorgeous room, or a comfortable bed, though the location is amazing.

If you're in DC for business then you already know this is one of the best, if not the best, in DC. On the other hand, if you're visiting DC for pleasure then this hotel is definitely worth staying at; if the impeccable service, well appointed rooms and unbelievable bar + restaurant (many people say lobbying was invented at the Round Robin Bar) are enough for you then, perhaps, ask yourself the question: when visiting DC and exploring this countries history why stay at some cheap chain motel when you can spend a few extra bucks and say you stayed at a hotel that so many visiting dignitaries and presidents and ….. have stayed at. Definitely worth the extra few dollars!

This is a very comfortable hotel while on business in Washington DC. Nice restaurants around the area since the hotel is located Downtown. Easy to get to special sites to see.

Whenever I have the opportunity to visit DC I stay at The Willard. It is downtown, close to everything. When we visit it is usually for business at the Supreme Court. So staying at The Willard is very conienvient. The shopping in the area is good. The restaurants in and around the hotel are also great. The staff is always helpful.

Had a great time. location was great. Service excellent. Only complaint was regarding parking, and honestly, this was minor as the access to the subway is great.

Great location next to Treasury and White House. Same with Hotel Washington too. It's almost as good. A great history surrounds it back to the Civil War and has outstanding accomondations.

It is a great old hotel ... but why bother when there are so many other great locations like the Westin in the same area for a much better value? Stay here once for the experience ... and then go somewhere else.

Although the views leave something to be desired, the Willard has by far the best rooms, dining, tea and service in DC. The Willard Room was everything to be expected and desired-dimly lit, exceptional service and a staff ready to accommodate! By far one of my best visits to DC and now the hotel of choice.
