I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Mayflower Hotel. While the location was absolutely fantastic for exploring D.C., and the housekeeping staff was truly commendable, I faced significant issues with the valet service that made my stay considerably more stressful than it should have been. The restaurant experience left something to be desired as well, which was disappointing for a hotel of this stature.
