Overall an Enjoyable Stay

First of all, the hotel is located just about 2 1/2 blocks away from the National Mall so it is definitely convenient. The rooms were adequate, with the bathroom being the nicest feature of the room. The view was of an office building, but I was staying there for the proximity of attractions, not for the view. Room service was quick and efficient, but expensive ( but what do you really expect). Also, you can order any item from one of the onsite restaurants with roomservice even if it is not listen in the room service booklet. The pool was nice and the exercise room was well appointed. Front desk staff was helpful and the maid service was very good. Only real complaints with the hotel were that the hotel lobby was having some trouble with flooding...random hammering and drilling going on in the hotel at 9 in the morning...and the guys at the front door were much more concerned with talking to eachother than helping (hands full with luggage and groceries, didn't even hold the door open.)
Excellent hotel

My husband and I came in for just a two-day stay at the end of April 2009 (1 night), but we would have loved to stay longer. We walked nearly everywhere the whole two days (except for the one visit to the Supreme Court for oral arguments . . . we didn't want to get too warm in our business clothes!). The location is beautiful, looking out over the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument. The room was the most exquisite hotel room either of us has ever stayed in . . . downright luxurious! We can't wait to come back.
Second time a charm

The first stay at the Mandarin Oriental was a little disappointing and I wrote the manager to explain. They assured me that my complaints would be corrected during my next visit. They were right. Our room was lovely with a fabuous view of the Jefferson Memorial. The bathroom was immaculate (with a flat screen TV). We had a wonderful lunch in Cafe MoZu. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
Would not Return

Excellent location. Friendly staff, great bed & bathroom. Downhill from there. Gift shop closed so can't even buy gum. Even ice comes from room service. Flyers about Hotel going 'green' not wanting to change sheets or towels daily, yet charge you $11.00 ea for water in a very heavy glass bottle. Restaurant food presentation excellent, but quality poor. Prices outrageous. (Lunch for 2 over $60.00 for inedible sandwiches). Air conditioning did not cool in rooms. Would not recommend.
Great Place!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff were great and treated us very well. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Great food at hotel restuarant. We would return to this hotel if we visit D.C. again and strongly recommend it to others who visit D.C. This hotel gets a 10 from us.
