Excellent Experience

I was incredibly satisfied with my stay at The Jefferson. Classic charm and styling mixed with luxury. The room itself was incredibly clean, albeit a little small but given the age of the building itself I have zero complaints about it. As someone who usually stays in 3 star hotels for business travel, the cleanliness standard is VERY HIGHLY appreciated. Front of house staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the complimentary snacks and water provided about an hour into my stay were unexpected but made for a vastly more inclusive experience. The ability to order room service, housekeeping and other services from the provided tablet and app were also greatly appreciated. Knowing anything I could need was just a few taps away added to the excellence of my stay. Overall I would 100% recommend this property for anyone coming to the DC area who is looking for a high class experience, in a charming, comfortable and well kept old hotel.

We try to stay at different properties each time we’re in DC. We’ll be hard-pressed to find one that is better than the Jefferson. The rooms sparkled, the staff were incredibly helpful, the amenities were spot-on, and the location was great.

Our stay was 3 nights. The property is beautiful and the staff are warm and welcoming. We loved that the hotel is a very short walk to the White House- you can see it from the hotel. We walked to the Washington Monument and the Museum of Natural History from the hotel. We had our 8 year-old son with us and therefore utilized Lyft for excursions beyond a mile or two round trip. Make no mistake though - this hotel is in a terrific location for sight-seeing, especially for 1st times to DC like the three of us. Turn-down service, several staff on the door every time we came and went, impeccable house-keeping, assistance with everything (FRIENDLY Valets and Bellhops). At some 5-star hotels, you get the sense that you are being humored (at times even tolerated) for the sake of a tip. This is not the feeling we had at The Jefferson. To the contrary, the ladies and gentlemen who helped us seemed genuinely nice. I cannot say enough great things about the hotel and its staff. The reason for a star deduction is because of the sleep quality. We stayed in a double queen and the bed seemed a little short. I am 6'03" and found myself lying diagonally on the bed in order to "fit". Also, the mattress was too firm for our liking. Last, there are 3 pillow types among the 10 pillows - 4 VERY firm LARGE pillows, 4 King VERY soft pillows, and 2 throw pillows. None of which were comfortable. So much to love about The Jefferson. Just not the beds/pillows.
