Bed and shower was lovely
Robert, 5-night trip

Heart of DC

Right in the heart of DC for a great price.
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cosy, easy, friendly, just go for it.

Very cosy and friendly. It is not modern, it is better, it has something historic about it. Even with fireplace in our large room. Unbeatable for the price witch was around 100 USD for 4 people.
Pål, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was friendly.

The hotel was quite standard, with basic amenities and services.
Tomohiro, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great staff, clean & cute boutique hotel.
Evelyn, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room had an extremely strong smell of chemicals upon check in, but didn’t seem like it had been that thoroughly cleaned (dust on carpet, spiderwebs, dirty walls, dirty looking bathroom). After the first night, the chemical smell was replaced by a mildew and wet carpet smell, and it was clear that the hotel has no humidity control. It was extremely moist and uncomfortable, and the smell permeated my luggage after only a 2 night stay. Beds were extremely uncomfortable. Staff was polite, and the location was fine, but I would not stay again.

Basic but does the job
OSCAR, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is good for budget travelers, staff was friendly, great location, easy to reach and cozy
AHMED, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is an old historic place, and is reasonably well kept.
Patricia, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and convenient. Majority of staff (save one at the front) were pleasant and helpful. Aside from key swipe to get into my room never working, all was fine. And yes, the AC worked, which was crucial, given the temp was ~100 degrees F most of my visit!
Edward, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location.
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was quiet and out of the way
Keith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a lovely, small boutique hotel. My room was small but sparkling clean as was the bathroom. An iron and ironing board, hair dryer and the usual small bottles of soap and shampoo were in the room. And, great internet access. The hotel is located in a lovely residential area where I easily found safe, street parking for the weekend. The hotel keeps the front desk open 24/7 and in the morning hot coffee is available. I don’t consider this a con but this is not a hotel if you are planning to spend a lot of time in your room. It’s definitely for those who want a quiet place to sleep and to get dressed and out in the morning…
Suzanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good place to be

This was the second place I stayed while on my trip, such a relief from the first. It was clean and quiet and felt safe. No breakfast but I don't eat that anyway.

LUIS, 3-night trip

Great stay. Convenient for where we wanted to go. Perhaps no frills but great service and staff and a decent sleep!

Pros: Quiet, nice staff, close location to U street corridor Con: No elevator, rooms not maintained well
Joel, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Windsor Inn was a throwback to an earlier age with great working AC, and though the room was small, it did provide everything I needed for one person on a business trip. It was not fancy but very serviceable and very right on the price for DC.
Renato, 5-night trip

Stayed for two nights and it is simple , clean, and perfect for an amazing downtown experience .
