Hotel Lombardy - Excellent Accomodations

Very nice clean, comfortable accomodations. Small sitting area off the bedroom with Mini refrigerator, coffee maker and sink for eating/drinking beverages. Small room off bedroom and bathroom with closet and small vanity for doing makeup.
Very close to George Washington University, 3 blocks from Metro stations, 5 blocks from the White House. Great restaurants close by. Founding Fathers Restaurant just across the street toward the White House.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Quaint small elevators that still need to be operated by elevator operator, so may need to be patient if in a hurry. Those in a hurry could use the stairwell. However if on the 11th floor it could be quite a trek
Toilet backed up and hotel staff responded immediately

Very convenient. Clean comfortable rooms. One block from GW University. Very reasonable price for area. Elevator a bit problematic if you are in a hurry.
No Extras Here

April 8 2009 ' I unfortunatley booked a double double for 3 large people. The rooms here are very small. The bathroom is so small only one person can fit in at any time. The shower water went from too hot to too cold took 5 min just for me to get in. Our dirty towels ended up all dry and back in the bathroom the next day. No shampoo or conditioner replaced after first use. The floor was not vacuumed each day. There was not evan a microwave oven in the kitchenette. So I called Travelocity to see if they could put me in a differant hotel after the first night of seven. They said that they could not do anything about my problem. I contacted the hotel manager and they said they had a suite that would be bigger but I would have to pay 50.00 extra per night. I had already prepaid over $ ***a night four months ago. I searched other hotels today and could stay at the Ritz for less than that..: ( If you or anyone in your party is a BIG person dont stay here.....
Quiet Elegance in the Heart of Town

We put up visiting family members here in mid-March 2009. The lobby is tiny but elegant. Theroom was small but well appointed and very comfortable, with a small kitchen/breakfast nook and amenities such as a hair dryer, iron, refrigerator/freezer, and coffee maker. It was also provided with heating/air conditioning and an overhead fan, allowing for minute adjustments to room comfort. The daily Washington Post was delivered to our door every morning. The elevators are small and manually operated, not automatic; but we never had more than a brief wait. Our room was *right* next to the elevator shaft; elevator sounds were occasionally audible but generally not obtrusive. The front desk was chronically understaffed, but the rest of the hotel staff were very attentive, courteous, and multilingual (we heard English, Spanish, and French). We did not have occasion to use the hotel restaurant or the exercise room.
The location is excellent: four long blocks to the White House complex, three blocks to George Washington University, walking distance (for the healthy) to Washington's West End and Georgetown; also a short walk to two different Metro (subway) stations, and it's easy to find taxis (which are now on a meter system, replacing D.C.'s old, long-standing, and sometimes indecipherable zone map). Highly recommended.
Pleasant and convenient

The Lombardy is a quaint hotel made from a 1920s era apartment building. Its rooms are small, but entirely adequate for a stay that involves a lot of going out. Location is pretty good; it's only four blocks to a good Metro stop that can get you anywhere worth going in DC. Lots of decent restaurants in the neighborhood, too. Enjoy the elevator with a live operator!
