Washington hotels near Mary McLeod Bethune Council House

Cons: If you forget to tip housekeeping each morning, don't expect clean towels.

Cons: Colonial parking provides valet parking at the Willard for $55 per night. They refused to tell me about any other options when there was another parking garage just behind the hotel. I won't return to the Willard until they lower their parking rates.

Cons: Tiny gym, mold in the bathroom grout, room amenities were average, surprising amount of wear and tear in our room for a hotel in this category.

Cons: The sofa sleepers

Cons: Front desk staff on more than one occasion Very small rooms

Cons: The construction impacted the ease of navigating the main lobby floor. Also, i was not instructed on how to use the elevator system when i checked in, which confused me and delayed my movement toward my room.

Cons: They offered to an upgraded room with a view for more $ Room had no view. AC broke , took 1 full day and multiple sells to get it repaired.

Cons: TV system was being upgraded so there was no access to in-room films at all, just all the usual uninteresting TV channels.

Cons: Parking cost / benefit : ok but very hefty

Cons: Valet service was lacking due to extended wait times. The hotel is renovating the front lobby, so the entrance was moved to Pennsylvania Ave.

Cons: Absolutely not one thing. It was an outstanding hotel.

Cons: Housekeeping forgot to clean our room in the morning so we had to call and ask that they come at night when we were out to dinner. The pillows were also really too soft without much support. And we didn't realize until we got there that the overnight parking fee was $59 per night....kind of a lot when you gross everything up we might have been better off at another hotel location with less expensive parking! Once you are there though you are stuck with it. Ugh. Next time.

Cons: Very small rooms. Housekeeping tries to go into occupied rooms without properly knocking, room service food and deliveryis poor, phone attendants seem angry.

Cons: As an Ohio State Buckeye fan, there on the annual rival between OSU and Michigan, we wore our OSU gear and decided we liked the hotel bar nooks of chairs around TV. We were so disappointed the bar only plays music and the TV’s are muted. There were other guests also asking to hear the game. First staff said they can’t play the TV volume. Then they said they would try but there was no one in house that knew how to. We certainly would have spent the time at another establishment. I’m glad I wasn’t hearing impaired. No one on site even knew how to put on subtitles to follow the story. Didn’t expect that negative experience.

Cons: Clearly some deferred maintenance in the guest room bathroom.

Cons: Cost

Cons: The room service options were slightly limited

Cons: To big. Staff was not very friendly.

Cons: Unfortunately our room was on the street side (I did ask for a room with a view) and even though we were on an upper floor, the street noise was much more than expected. Sirens and honking and back-up beeping kept us up most of the three nights we stayed. The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable as well. There were no lights on the desk and tv side of the room-only on the bed side. We found that odd as it was difficult to see while reading or writing at the desk. The bathroom was spacious, but I would have liked a "night" light or dimmer in the bathroom for at night.

Cons: Having to pay for in-room Wi-Fi just not what I expect from a quality hotel

Cons: Did not enjoy that on Sunday the continental breakfast was not complimentary.

Cons: room was small and far from the elevator. had to call maintenance to get the tv to work

Cons: Very outdated Raggedy carpet Stench in hallway Noise from plumbing in next room

Cons: The parking very expensive

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Did not have a king bed available even thought it was confirmed online. USB port did not work. Self-checkin did not work.

Cons: The food prices were a little steep.

Cons: A bit dated, but that is part of the historic charm. Could use a few more outlets.

Cons: Slow internet, load air system, small bedroom

Cons: Noisy HVAC. Slow draining shower / tub with slippery bottom. Not enough outlets to power all our devices at once.

Cons: Garage charge for the rental car was bit pricey.

Cons: The double doors were unnecessary. Bathroom was a bit small.

Cons: A/C was noisy in my room. I used earplugs to sleep and it was fine after that.

Cons: It is a historic hotel. Although the square footage was decent, it was broken into small rooms. So the room itself felt small and somewhat cramped. The bathroom was small and cramped. Hallways were not well lit. Carpeting appeared to need a change. The bar is small and open only until 10 pm.

Cons: Pillows were hard (I am picky), plumbing fixtures were broken (reported, not fixed, reported again), coffee not replaced for next morning two times, TV's are not HD. On a positive note, we had an excellent steak in their restaurant and the service there was outstanding.

Cons: I didn’t like the pillows (personal preference) and the door knob to the room, which was very hard to open. How would handicapped people open the door? Also, I didn’t see any recycling, a must in today’s world. The room could use a refrigerator.

Cons: No coffee in the rooms!

Cons: The room was filthy. It was NYE so we didn't make a big fuss about it but we were not happy right away. Random sprays of stuff on the walls, a nice little white stain on the bed skirt. The first thing we did was check for bed bugs and luckily there were none. We went out for a nice dinner and when we got back there were security guards in the lobby who stopped us and asked if we were guests but we just nodded and he let us right by. We spent the rest of the night listening to one of our neighbors break glass and toss furniture around- I get it it's NYE but we didn't think this hotel was that kind of place or we never would have paid this much to stay here. The only thing the front desk did was offer us comped breakfast and to have security "look around". The final blow came upon checkout when we found out the valet fee was $50! $50?! Why not offer to comp that instead of breakfast no way we were gonna eat something made in this filthy place.

Cons: Morning coffee ( that was free!) was horrible

Cons: Everything met my expectations.

Cons: At times wait staff was sparse

Cons: Room was a little warm despite the air conditioner on high.

Cons: If it had a pool it would have been perfect, but otherwise it was fantastic. Service at the in-hotel restaurant was slow and food was a little overpriced compared to the excellent food you could get around town.

Cons: No negatives really. We did have a problem control the air temperature/freshness at night, but that might have been because it was a warm weekend in spring -- maybe the air conditioners weren't on yet?

Cons: The bed. Way too uncomfortable. I'm in the mattress business (Sleepy's), if you need new mattresses, let me know!

Cons: The view from our room was not great, but we didn't care.

Cons: One comment, the cleaning staff woke us up at 8AM to ask us what time we wanted the room cleaned. I thought that was a little weird... would generally prefer they just come when we're not there.

Cons: breakfast service downstairs extremely slow I ordered smoked salmon bagel and cream cheese with C it took over 30 minutes to get it to me the serverwas very flustered I asked for a to go box she just gave me just the box with no wax paper to take away my food.

Cons: Expensive valet parking.

Cons: I wish ice machines were on each floor however when I ask for ice at the front desk, I was supply with a bag.
