I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was too awful not to share. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful. The room was filthy with no towels, no toiletries, and it smelled like stale air and mildew. To make things worse, housekeeping walked into our room unannounced at 8 AM, saw us, and just said “oops” before walking out. Completely unacceptable. The bathroom had black mold on the walls and yellow stains on the toilet seat which was truly disgusting. The elevators didn’t work, and when we asked about storing our bags after checkout, they charged $2 per bag, which felt like a money grab considering the state of the place. Save your time and money! This hotel is unsanitary, poorly managed, and not worth a single star.

There were no towels in my room. When I called guests services I was told there will be no towels until next day 10am. I was checking out at 8am as I was there for work purposes. There were not helpful and I told them they needed to find something for me. The provided me with a hand towels. There were also no toiletries. No soap in the sink or nothing in the shower Granted I always carry my own but if you didn’t bring them you had nothing to wash yourself with or dry yourself with. The desk is on the 5th floor and you have to look for the signed that states that when you reach the entrance.

Comfy bed, great view, lacking basics for price

Comfy beds. Mold in bathroom shower, no tissue, and only one bath towel (no wash cloths or hand towels), no ice buckets. No one was at reception and I had to wait to check in. Elevator repairs are needed.

Stay elsewhere.....

I never write negative reviews because I understand and respect the service industry. However upon arrival at The Washington my experience was subpar. I was initially given a room and upon entering I immediately realized that the bed had not ben made. I simply went to the from desk and told them that the room wasn't ready for me.I was told that the entire building was waiting on linen. I had dinner reservations for 7 and did not get towels till 6:45 pm. I noticed that the a/c was not working and informed the front desk. An engineer came twice both visits were unsuccessful in repairing the unit. I was told that because there wasn't a large demand (other rooms utilizing the a/c), the main unit kept shutting off and would not work to supply just one room. I know for a fact that isn't how HVAC works. I was told "I can recommend that you crack the window". After the whole inconvenience I requested a late check out and was given an hour, that which while showering, housekeeping banged on my door and condesendinly yelled and pointed to their phone, to indicate the time, Overall, the staff was very unprofessional, poorly dressed, the conditions of the room are nowhere how they're advertised. I paid a pretty decent amount for poor service.

I really like this hotel, but they seem to be having some service issues. There were no towels in our room when we arrived. Also, there were some issues with the elevators. Finally, the lighting in the bathroom is awful and we could not close the slide door between the room and bathroom. Not sure if I will stay here again.

Shameful! Avoid this place at all costs! It’s shocking that a hotel like this exists right next to the World Trade Center and is even listed on this platform. Everything was below standard—non-functioning elevators, a dirty room, and zero signs of renovation or care. I was given just one old, worn-out towel. Truly disappointing and unacceptable. Shamefu!

Fantastic location, however the property needs major repairs and updating. It seems the property isn’t ran that well either. We got checked into a room and there were still guests in the room we walked into. Then we get another room and theres no soap or amenities. The main elevator was broken so sharing the service elevator with 30 other floors of guests took forever. Overall it was disappointing but the location was fantastic and it was priced cheaper than surrounding hotels but still pricey at $350/night.

One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at

One of the WORST hotels that I have ever stayed at. I think that the lift situation is illegal. I spoke to multiple staff members who said that all lifts have been down for nearly 3 months. It is incredibly dangerous that there is only 1 working service lift to serve the entire building guests and staff. My room smelled of damp and didn't even have any soap. There was a hole in my sheets on my bed. Overall AWFUL experience. Do not stay here.

Great view from hotel room and comfy bed, but none of the guest elevators worked at all and we had to all use the service elevator which sometimes took 20+ minutes and sometimes had to ride up and down with packed housekeeping carts or way too many people. Overall the room could have been significantly cleaner (shower head & shower & overall bathroom did not look properly cleaned), cracks in the walls/ceiling, some stains on the alcove. The staff, other than the super kind and welcoming guy that checked me in, were very standoffish and seemed irritated during every interaction I had with them and would answer my questions poorly so I was still confused afterwards. The concierge also didn’t tell me until when they’d be able to hold my bag downstairs and front desk also didn’t effectively communicate that information, so I returned later that night to pick up my bag to not see a concierge anywhere in sight and have to go upstairs to the lobby to ask about it only to see my bag and all my stuff thrown on the ground in a corner of the lobby with no security insight or anyone present other than the front desk personnel. Thankfully no one intended to steal my belongings but if they had wanted to there was nothing really keeping them from doing so as they couldn’t even hold my stuff behind the counter. I don’t think I’d stay there again nor recommend it, to be honest.
