Windsor Park Hotel

Stayed two nights for a conference down the street. HOWEVER, I left covered in bedbug bites. Dozens of bites. I attempted to contact hotel management privately for almost 3 weeks with no reply to emails, website contact forms, calls, messages, and voicemails with various members of the hotel staff. Had to get my suitcase, clothes, and house treated upon leaving. My attempt to save a few dollars by staying at this hotel ended up costing me a fortune. Do not make my same mistake! Bedbug bites are VERY itchy, so between the bites themselves and any scars left from scratching you won’t forget your stay at the Windsor Park any time soon. BE WARNED.
On the plus side, location is good. Breakfast, if a bit light, is nice. Shower pressure and temperature are good. Hotel staff was nice (albeit haven’t been helpful getting me in contact with the management), room was quaint and seemed clean.

Nice small hotel.
Very small elevator that can only fit 4 people without suitcases.
Elevator makes tapping sound if you happen to get a room next to it.
Breakfast is complementary but ends early (9am) and in a tiny kitchen space.
Free wifi though.

Super duper clean. incredibly accomodating. A little outdated, but who cares. For the price, location, and free cute breakfast you can’t beat it!!! Parking coulda been a problem but we lucked up on a weekend.

I stayed at the Windsor Park Hotel for 2 nights. I had a conference up the street at the Marriott, but even with the conference’s discounted rates, it was too expensive for the two rooms my coworker and I needed. The Windsor Park was half a mile away and in walking distance (although I took the cab while my coworker enjoyed the walk :) This hotel was very clean, although appears to need some updating. The bathroom seemed pretty new, however. My only complaints were a bad wifi signal, too soft a bed and pillows, and a very hot room. My trip was in April and they haven’t yet switched to AC. The front desk told us to just open our windows, but without a breeze it didn’t do much. I wasn’t in the room that often, just to sleep. With that said, it wasn’t a bad stay. If we decide to attend the same conference next year, for convenience purposes alone, we will probably just bite the bullet and spend the money at the Marriott since it was a pain in the neck getting a cab in the early morning hours.

Great charming little hotel near Dupont circle, Adams Morgan and Woodley Park. Right off Conn Ave. Less than half mile walk from Woodley Park metro. Great prices on super room less $ 100 a night. Stay here. Large flat tv, Comcast cable with many channels, cold cute mini fridge for food. Large clothes closets with iron board and iron. Could use new window treatments the drapes are pretty tacky. But no room is perfect right! I would definitely stay here again. Free breakfast till 9am with room!!!

Dreadful. Worst hotel I stayed in ever. Two stars because its location is ok. The room had literally no view (the window looks out on a concrete chute — no idea whether it was open on the top). The mattresses are old and broken, the complete furniture is rubbish (the newest item was obviously the 20 years old tune-​tv). The bathroom seemed to be quite clean but the air conditioning vent showed the dust of the last century.
I guess there was a garage sale thirty years ago and the Windsor Park Hotel made a great bargain — to my disadvantage. I can’t say whether the room was clean as everything was old and wet (terrible ventilation) and therefore, it was too disgusting to assess such details.
Breakfast is until 9 o’clock — I mention that as the concierge will not tell you. We came down at 9:15 and were told that breakfast was over.
This is my first review and I don’t know whether I can add photos — I will try as it is really interesting what Windsor Park Hotel offers for its not too low rates.

I had to attend a conference, didn’t read reviews, and booked this hotel because it was the closest to it. When I walked in I was shocked to see that the hotel and room were not modern at all. The room has an actual key, the AC only has two options (e.g. Heat or cooling), the bed frame was a gold color and looked like it belonged in a sleazy motel — well equipped with squeaky sounds as you sit on it, and the art in the room looks like it came from a garage sale. Needless to say, if you’re looking for a Marriott or even Best Western quality room, this is not for you. Good news is that the room was clean and the hotel staff were very nice. I stayed at the Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio the week before and my sheets were dirty. I checked the sheets at the Windsor and the towels and was happy and relieved to see that they were clean. Each room seems to have its own mini fridge. There’s a computer center (with only two computers) on the first floor. And the Wifi was free and fast. Not too bad.

Stayed here the past three nights.
Not even sure about the second star. Although the place seemed clean the only reason to stay here is the price. I had to be at a convention at the Hilton which is about four blocks away. I would have stayed at the Hilton but it was way too pricey plus it was overbooked. You get what you pay for.
First off — no air conditioning. I am from the north. When it is 90 degrees out I can’t sleep without ac. So I opted to open the windows. The windows are old and need to be replaced. Opening the window really didn’t help and brought in a lot of noise.
The beverage vending machine had no water. That seems unacceptable to me. I should be able to get bottled water on premises.
The shower didn’t have much pressure, nor did the sink, but the water was hot!
I found the room to be smaller than I imagined, but it did have a certain old fashioned charm that I might have appreciated more if it wasn’t so hot.
The bed was lumpy.
The room did have a decent sized closet.
The TV was an old one. It was not a modern flatscreen. I’m not really a TV person but at one point I was looking to see the weather and I could not get the TV to work. I did not feel it was worth it to complain to management about it.
The staff was friendly and the place was pretty clean.
I did not have a car and I’m glad I didn’t because there is no place to park at this hotel.
Only reason I would recommend this place is if you are on a really tight budget and need to be in this area. At $ 193.51 per night (including taxes) it’s not really that inexpensive but it is one of the least expensive in that area. Otherwise spend the money and stay at a nice place or find a budget conscious hotel near the metro. You can pretty much get anywhere you want to go by metro.
I don’t think I’ll stay here again.

I’ve stayed in plenty hotels in my day.
Wait… That makes me sound like a whore. I’m not…, just saying… I like to travel.
So from experience I no longer like to stay close to downtown areas unless I absolutely have to. So I found this place which is a very nice and convenient 10 minute walk to the metro station, and along the way plenty of restaurants, pharmacy, Dunkin donuts, mmmmmmm donuts. And from that metro station it takes about 10 minutes to downtown.
I’m used to small rooms in hotels but I was very delighted when I walked into this one. Spacious and nice. TV had actually full on cable! Not like those hotels that give you 10 shitty options. Shower was clean (more than once have I seen bathtubs and toilets with dirt rings and rust).
Closet was big. One thing that did bother me a lot was that as I walked in, in the corner of my eye I spotted something that could have potentially made my stay here very unpleasant. One of the paintings on the wall was hanging sideways. I fought my OCD to the death the last two days but I got over it and made the best of it. (And yes I’m being sarcastic, for all you non emotional Unilocal readers)
I will be staying at this hotel every time I come to DC until something dramatic changes in management. Because they are doing a great job.
Room 286 fo life!!!

I stayed here a few weeks ago. Overall, it is an adequate hotel. The staff was friendly, and my room was fine. The whole hotel has an older feel to it. For example, the doors use actual keys rather than key cards. Still, there was a newer TV with digital cable, and free wifi. The breakfast was nothing special, but it was also fine.
I would NOT recommend staying here with a car. There is no parking, and the closest garages are all about ½ mile away. All the nearby garages I could find cost at least $ 18 per day. There is 2-​hour parking on the street during the day. I did not see anywhere within a several block radius that had free parking.
Also, this hotel is not in Dupont Circle. The area is nice enough; it’s just not Dupont Circle. It’s across a bridge from the Woodley Park area. The closest Metro station is the Woodley Park/​Adams Morgan stop, which is about a 10 minute walk.
For the price, the Windsor Park Hotel is not bad at all.

A good bargain in a great location. I needed a hotel last minute and found the Windsor Park Hotel. I love that they still have actual keys to get into the room. Also, I have never stayed in a hotel with a better TV selection! You get all of the premium channels including On Demand! The bed was comfortable and it was clear that they have done some renovations (new bathtub, for example). Yes, it is an older hotel and the continental breakfast was limited to muffins, bagels, and coffee, but for the price of a last minute reservation, this was a great hotel. Very quiet and clean as well.

I stayed here for 5 nights. Needless to say I was not impressed. The first night, my doorknob became extremely loose and was ready to fall off. This made me nervous. The walls have not been maintained or painted anytime recently. The hallways stunk bad. The shower was fine, but toilet and sink were seriously outdated. The front desk staff were helpful when asking questions regarding DC area. The wi-​fi worked when it wanted too. It was not a good experience. If management would put a little work into this building, it could be comfortable. Just because it is an old building, does not mean it could not be made more presentable. I will not stay here again. It was not worth over $ 200 a night.

Stayed here twice in past few years. Windsor Park is a good hotel, nicely priced, friendly staff, and in a great location in Northwest Washington.
Very convenient to the Woodley Park/​Adams Morgan area (& metro stop) and not too far to travel from Downtown and Georgetown areas.

Blindly going into a hotel can be a bit like blindly going into a date. Well, a blind date, I guess. Your friends tell you, «Yeah, he’s great! I love him! I mean, I personally wouldn’t date him, but he’d be great for your standards!», and then proceed to rattle off a number of generic credentials. And then you go out on the date and find out he’s the kind of guy who asks for your BMI within 10 minutes of meeting you and then proceeds to check his phone for the next hour. And this is all taking place at Ruth’s Chris Steak House.
I feel like this has happened with lodging recommendations in the past, as well as with men, and for this reason, I am frightened to stay in places about which I know nothing.
Once in awhile, however, you get a nice surprise. A nice date. Someone classy who doesn’t come across as trying to hard to be a 5-​star with a roof-​top bar. Someone who says «bless you» when you sneeze and who isn’t consistently trying to impress you as much as make you feel welcomed and listened to. Someone who cares about your level of comfort rather than their image. I had this experience at the Windsor Park Inn Hotel on Kalorama and Connecticut.
Just south of the beautiful lion-​statued bridge over leafy, lush Rock Creek Park and Woodley Park Metro station, the self-​described ’boutique’ hotel is indeed well-​located and well-​staffed. I know other reviews have stated having issues with things like not having cards rather than keys and having WiFi issues, but I experienced nothing but hospitality, comfort, and most importantly in my lodging criteria, cleanliness. It was absolutely spotless. The bathroom was beautiful. I think the shower actually sparkled with cleanliness. And the rest of the room was comfortable and roomy as well. I think I may have been in a corner room, so I’m not sure what the others are like, but my room was so large I’d wished I’d brought a workout DVD to do in the room. It would have beat jogging in the 105-​degree heat outside.
As for the daily conveniences such as WiFi, continental breakfast, AC, calling cabs, getting responses at the front desk to my questions, I had an excellent experience in my four days here. At one point, the front desk even loaned me a bottle opener. I guess my only issue was that the water pressure in the (incredibly pristine) shower was a little low, but I don’t remember if that was a DC issue in general or not. In any case, overall, I can’t complain about anything regarding my stay. It was great, and I’d stay here again for the rate I received, which was a steal.

Staff is friendly, accommodating and flexible. But the hotel itself leaves a lot to be desired. They still use actual KEYS and everything about it just screams OLD. Rate was similar to a much nicer Embassy Suites a mile away, but had to stay at this WP because it was walking distance from where I needed to be this weekend.
The Adams Morgan area is wonderful, so it was worth it for me to stay here — the area itself was more important than fancy lodging.
Continental breakfast was anemic — coffee, juice, muffins, bagels, that’s it.
Seemed expensive to me for what you get… I’m used to getting a whole lot more for $ 179/​night!

If you are not picky, travelling by yourself, and just need a relatively cheap place to stay in D.C., then fine. It’s clean, the staff are friendly, and the neighborhood is nice.
However, when a cold front dropped the temperature to 40 degrees, the heat didn’t work until the last day. It’s an old building with a boiler, and had been turned off for the season. The attendant suggested I spend more time in the lobby, or could send up extra blankets. He wasn’t dismissive or rude. Most hotels would provide a space heater, or solve the problem rapidly, however.
The internet never worked reliably… once again glad to have tethering.

I reserved here 3 nights, but left after first night. It is comfortable enough for a hotel of itslevel. But I was in town looking for apartments so internet access was crucial. I called before booking and the staff specifically promised in-​room internet. Sadly, the internet mostly did not work, even after the attendant restarted the router several times. Instead of looking at apartments, I spent time dealing with the hotel’s internet. Eventually I left after the attendant refused to deal with the problem further. It was frustrating to have to find another hotel quickly and move. More so because of the contrary promise made.

It was nice but consider its in Washington
the front desk person was nice

currently watching a mouse run around the «living room» of my «suite» here. concern of bed bugs in our first room. attendant at front desk was rude and basically blamed me for the concern. don’t book on travelocity because you cannot get your money back (I tried).

This is an affordable and reasonably nice hotel in a good location in DC; I’m not sure why there isn’t more written about it here. I am attending a conference across the river in one of those very large Woodley Park hotels. This hotel is in a very nice neighborhood full of embassies (I noticed that many of the countries with embassies in this neighborhood seem to have had rocky relationships with the US — not sure what that means) and next to Rock Creek Park. There are parking garages a couple blocks away, but I found a free spot around the corner on 23^rd. (The hotel staff told me that spots that are not reserved for diplomats or zone permits are fair game.) My room is clean and totally adequate; uneven plastering by the baseboards reminds you that you’re not at the Omni but to me that’s kind of a plus. The guy at the desk was friendly and professional. Overall I’m very pleased and would stay here again.
