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.

The hotel was quite standard, with basic amenities and services.

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.

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

It was quiet and out of the way

charmant hôtel confortable dans joli quartier

Joli hôtel confortable à l'opposé d'un hôtel moderne. L'ambiance est maison de famille avec un accueil très gentil et courtois. Le quartier est très agréable et à proximité de restaurants. Bus et métro à environ 15 mn à pieds chacun.

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

2/10 Poor

It looked nothing like the photos. I didn’t get the renovated room that was posted on Hotels.com and it was very disappointing for the price.
Jayden, 4-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

4/10 Fair

This hotel has had years of bad renovations. It is pretty rundown
John, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent for a night away.

For a one night stay when you have plans. This hotel is a budget friendly option. If you just need a place to lay your head, I would recommend for a day trip but not for a week unless you’re really on a budget or traveling alone. The location is excellent. There’s ample on street parking surrounding the in on the weekends. It’s a good 30 minute walk to Dupont Circle or the Lincoln theater.
Sharon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel is very old, carpet was smelly, shower was unclean and mildew, missing tiles in the shower can cut your feet, sink falling apart. No elevator, no water at all for customers, not even to purchase. Terrible experience. I will never stay here again.
Alec, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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