I had a good experience at The Mayflower Hotel, with attentive staff and a charming room that made my stay enjoyable. The beautiful lobby and convenient location near major attractions added to the appeal. However, I did encounter minor issues with housekeeping that slightly marred my overall experience. Overall, a lovely hotel in D.C.! 🌟

My room felt stylish and spacious, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The layout was well-designed, providing a sense of privacy between the sleeping area and bathroom. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring I got a great night's sleep. However, I would have appreciated a coffee maker in the room for those early mornings.

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.
