I work in television and shoot a lot in Washington DC. I rented a suite here to conduct an interview. The suite cost $550.00 for the night and was abysmal. The carpet had stains on it and the furniture was old, chipped and scratched. The room smelled moldy and the street noise was unbelievable. A Motel 6 is nicer than... more

The Jefferson staff is absolutely the best we've encountered in the world! From reservations, to the manager, to the restaurant server, to housekeeping-----I don't know how they could make every single person so genuinely caring. The hotel itself is old--that's the charm, no cookie cutter decorations. Real documents signed by Thomas Jefferson were a thrill for our children! Food was... more

Sad to see what has befallen a once fine hotel. Booking it for the inauguration we had to pay an overpriced rate along with a guarantee stay. Should have stayed in the Comfort Inn around the corner for one quarter of the price! We switched rooms, and even with an upgrade to a junior suite it was a tired, musty,... more

After reading several enthusiastic reviews of The Jefferson, both by patrons and professionals, I was expecting a great deal from this hotel. And therein was the problem - I was in for a substantial letdown for a supposed "four star" property that's at best average. For example - I asked a for a bucket of ice after I was escorted... more

My family and I spent the weekend, arriving on a Saturday, and leaving on Monday. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by being able to check in early, we arrived just after 11:00 am. the staff is very attentive, and resolves problems efficiently. As to problems- Initially the suite we were given smelled very musty, apparently it hadn't been opened for... more

I stay at this hotel often, and the service I receive at this hotel is impecable... from the General Manager on down. The customer comes first must be their motto. The rooms are very nice and each one is distinct from one another. Since it is an older hotel, some rooms have some aging effects, but certainly minor compared to... more

Stayed here 6/11/04 - 6/17/04. Were upgraded to king size bed with room overlooking front of hotel. Nice lobby, nice room. Staff really do go out of their way to be pleasant and heplful. Restaurant is very good also, somewhat pricey as are all better DC restaurants. Great bar / lounge area: great place to drop into a chair and... more

I have stayed at the Jefferson frequently on business trips. I can count on a clean, comfortable room, excellent food, a quiet night, and extraordinary service. The staff manages to be both remarkably efficient AND hospitable. Any time I've needed extra attention -- as with a dry cleaning emergency, they have come through with courtesy and style. There's no gym,... more

This smallish hotel is one of my favorites in DC, with an excellent and attentive staff. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet. As with all hotels, glitches occasionally happen and the true worth of a hotel is in how they handle the situation. When we checked in the last time we were there, we were given a very small... more

I stayed here in January 2003, and it was lovely. All hotels have quirks, as does this one, but overall, it's a very nice place to stay. We got a special deal through expedia, thus it was entirely worth it. The room itself wasn't that small, as many people claim. It had a large walk in closet with double doors... more
