From the first welcoming e-mail a few days before my arrival, to assistance with a cab to the airport, my stay at the Latham was a perfect spot for my adventure in Washington. Comfort, location, security, and kind assistance were there for me all weekend. The only thing I wished for was a small refrigerator or easily accessible ice.

Although the hotel was very well located for us, (near Georgetown University), our room was quite run down. When we checked in there were cobwebs everywhere, as if the room had not been used in a while. We had to ask at the desk for a clock radio, and a smoke alarm. The smoke alarm had been yanked off the wall. Also, the hotel did not have a cafe or restaurant, so everyone had to go out to M street to get breakfast. Our room backed up to the garbage area, so every morning,VERY early, the garbage was collected very noisily. The staff was very kind and helpful tho.

check in , sunday 5 pm for a getaway with hubby...lovely little room in a beatiful builing ....with great stuff right outside our door. out and about in georgetown 5 hrs....back to the room....looking at purchases from shops in town....planning for some late night cocktails....relaxing with some tv and the newspaper.....and then.....................................................................................................MOUSE!!! i saw it, then did my husband....call the desk and insist on another room immediately!!!...problem....not good enough service at 11pm ....the "mousy" young man at the front desk didn't seem even a bit shocked or anxious to make us feel better about this nasty sighting.....we had to pack it all up, carry it to the lobby to get a key for a new room....nobody figured out to get their tails up to us and take everything they could for us to a new room without us having to go up and down/ back and forth deal with this at 11pm...mortifying!!!! very skiddish for the rest of the stay, even in our nicer corner room...upon check out i just let the day manager know about the issue....she shrieked....apologies all around from her and the entire staff at the desk that morning......and she offered us a gift certificate to come back again (if we wanted).....i told her of the only attempt to make us happy .....2 $10 certificates for the bakery across the way.....really not good....and the manager agreed. needless to say, this creates a mood for your romantic getaway that is less than desireable. i will say that the hotel is lovely...in a great location....with nice beds, linens, and well decorated. we will go back to the latham in georgetown....for our complimentary night.

Just so you know the parking arrangement here is a disaster when you book they dont let you know that there is a $30.00 valet fee, which I was unhappy about. However the door man was nice enough to check on special rates for self parking in late and leaving early. Beyond that the hotel in cute and the rooms small they need some updating but over all we were pleased

This trip I traveled single, and as a Single girl, found the location fantastic, and felt safe! No Taxi needed to shop, eat, etc. HOTEL STAFF WERE INCREDIBLE! NICE, Easy, Helpful! Quiet Hotel, with an understated elegance. Needs a Lobby Bar though for meeting guests, clients, etc. CLEAN ROOMS, Modern streamline Furn, but NEEDS A FULL LENGTH Mirror for WOMEN! Can't say enough about the Staff! I WOULD RETURN AGAIN!
