As previous reviews state it is a budget hotel. The rooms are in need of decoration,but they are clean. The staff were fairly helpful. The location is great and very close to the Metro. The breakfast available in the Harriet's restaurant was plentiful as it was a buffet but average quality.

Sigh. It is hard to write a review of this hotel because whether you will love it or hate it depends on your reason for being in Washington DC and your budget. It calls itself Washington’s Tourist Hotel and it’s an apt description. On the good side: You will not find a cheaper hotel in downtown DC, nowhere. You can... More

Don't expect anything better than a super 8, but it was ok. The room was very clean, as with the hotel, but the place was just very old and not in a elegant, luxurious way. It was outdated. The staff was pretty friendly, and there was a pretty good gift shop. Harriet's breakfast buffet was pretty good. The lobby is... More

I just stayed at Hotel Harrington with 5 of my friends. We weren't expecting much because of the pictures and age of hotel, but loved the location so we gave it a try. We were all so pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and size of our room. The location turned out to be even more convenient than we thought. My... More

Pros: Hotel has character. Inexpensive for the area. Perfect location to walk with 10 & 12 year olds to Smithsonian, whitehouse, mall and spy museum. Front desk are friendly. The family suite is basically a guaranteed adjoining room with 1 queen and 2 singles, 2 bathrooms and 2 tv's which was a nice setup for us. Cons: You have to... More

Absolute best value in DC, hands down! I would not stay anywhere else. It is in an incredible and safe location - just a few blocks from the White House and steps away from all of the museums on the mall and close to the Metro. If you have young kids that tire easily or seniors who can't walk long... More

I live about 2 hours from DC and whenever we would visit we would stay at the Harrington because of price and it was easy walking distance from the metro and other attractions in DC. Recommend it if you are a traveler on a budget and like walking places. It's no 4 star hotel but the staff has always been... More

The Harrington Hotel is in a great location in downtown Washington DC. It's a 2 or 3 blocks from the National Mall and the White House. The Metro Center red line subway station is less than 2 blocks away. We had a reservation at another newer chain hotel outside the city for $50 more per night, but we decided to... More

Though the hotel is old and in need of a remodel (the only free outlet I could find for charging my phone was next to the light switch up on the wall), my room was clean and comfortable. Staff at the front desk were courteous and helpful. Location is great: near White House and National Mall, also less than 2... More
