This hotel was fine for our purposes with the exception of 1) there were no restaurants around of any kind!!! very few in hotel either, that was a problem. 2) housekeeping staff was really poor, but the front desk really tried! Not sure we would really come back because the lack of facilities

My family stayed at the L'Enfant Hotel for a week - the best feature was that the DC metro was in the basement of the hotel. That made getting around town really easy. The hotel resturant and bar was way tooooo high priced. Currenlty the hotel has construction going on -- soooo much jackhammering, hammering, banging, etc. plus, trash and tools on the balcony's and construction workers walking on your balcony. This construction was taking place from 4-8pm everyday - just when you would get back to the hotel from a long day of seeing the sights and walking all over Washington DC and you wanted to rest for a little bit. That wasn't possible with ALL the noise. The staff was rude and indifferent. The hotel also needs a lot of updating - stained carpets, old wallpaper, old furniture and dirty windows - it would have been nice to look at the Washington Monument outside my window - but the dirt covered doors and windows didn't make it look to great + the construction workers walking on the balcony and leaving all their trash - water bottles, pop cans, and various construction items laying on the ground. If you plan on staying here -- check and make sure the construction is completed...they had a lot more to do.

Needs Some Work

The hotel is very handy for sightseeing and access to the Metro. However, there are not many places to eat in the area and the hotel food is very pricey for a family. The pool was out of commission our entire stay which was a disappointment for the kids. They were still working on the balconies also. In addition, the ceiling in our bathroom was leaking and a piece of it was coming down. I reported it to the front desk and they did patch the ceiling the same day. However the next morning the water was again leaking through the ceiling into our bathroom.

Anyone considering staying at this hotel should first be informed that L'Enfant is NOT a luxury hotel. The rooms are comparable to any budget motel and be prepared to pay excessive fees to use the one computer that is available 24 hours a day. My room dhad a view of the federal building next door, not any monuments or city views as described on the website. The rooms are well below any "luxury" standard. The carpets are in bad shape, the furniture needs to be updated andor replaced and the bathrooms are similar to those of a Motel 6. Furthermore, the drinks at the bar are horribly overpriced. I did not try any food, so I can't comment on the quality of the menu items. There are a few pros to staying at the hotel. It's only 10 minutes from National Airport by the green or yellow lines. The National Mall and all it's wonderful sights is a very easy walk. It's worth noting that this hotel is on the south side of the National Mall, where there is nothing but business offices. Most restaurants and other points of interest are on the north side of the Mall. This is a great place to stay if you want a budget hotel experience and can get a great rate. I paid $*/night, which seemed twice as much as it was worth.

Ideal Location for Tourists!

This hotel is an easy walk to the Smithsonian, Archives, Monuments and Memorials. The Metro is directly beneath the Hotel Lobby and very easy to access. Promenade Mall with a McDonald's was also very handy...plan wisely though, the McD's and most of the stores on the Promenade are closed on Saturday and Sunday. The Hotel seemed to be understaffed at times. The Lobby was often full of people who were attending meetings, but were not necessarily staying in that Hotel. The rooms were clean and the beds were VERY comfortable. The Hotel Cafe was good food but not worth the inflated prices. I recommend eating in the Promenade below or just ordering a pizza for delivery. The gift shop was handy for snack food and other stuff, but again, the prices were too much! I suggest taking the Metro to the Crystal City station and buying your junk food at the TARGET there! Also...souvenirs are much cheaper when bought from street vendors, not from the Hotel stores. The Hotel staff was very helpful when they weren't tied up helping other folks. They gladly stowed our luggage on checkout day until we were ready to leave for the airport. Overall, it was a great experience. You can't beat being that close to everything!
