Sure it’s old, like I mean real old. Like maybe the oldest hotel in DC. However that doesn’t justify $400 a night if it doesn’t provide a clean bathtub or a fresh pillowcase on the spare pillow. I don’t usually notice those kinds of details but you can bet my girlfriend does. Yes and only one spare pillow for our king bed. Would it break them to put a tv or telephone in the room? I know we are all supposed to want to be intellectual and tv is so twentieth century etc but let’s face it, we don’t all love to stream. Which left me squinting at my cellphone trying to watch Unexplained Mysteries with my Netflix app. Breakfast was delicious but not entirely included in the price of the $400 stay. Oh and no elevators made climbing the three flights of narrow winding staircases a real workout even without the suitcases. Crazy eclectic artwork everywhere with a decidedly left wing slant made an already uncomfortable stay even more anxiety inducing. My crazy sisters love the place for among other reasons because Tabard’s promotional materials proclaim the place is haunted with its own private ghost. So listen up people I stayed in a real clean and friendly motel in the Catskills the week before and paid $95 a night and came away very happy and well rested. I prefer my bizarro hotels in the movies.

This is a historic hotel full of character and charm. The lounge area is cozy and the ambiance is great. My husband and I enjoyed cocktails and relaxing after walking around sightseeing all day. We would stay here again -- at the very least come back and enjoy the lounge/bar area.

It has a bohemian touch that is charming. The bar and restaurant ambiance are awesome. The furniture could have a bit of a restoration without losing its charm.

Loved the old-fashioned decor. Room not cleaned the first day and for the money no special touches. Most of the staff were great, but one guy at the front desk was indifferent.

Liked: Amenities
Late Victorian era building with a boutique hotel vibe. Our room and bath were spacious. The old building has its quirks. How things work in the room are not as intuitive as in newer hotels, but we found what we were looking for. The common areas like the lobby, bar and restaurant open for breakfast and lunch are unique in a good way. Staff are great. We arrived early. We checked our bags and they were in our room when we got back to the hotel later in the day. There is no elevator, and high ceilings add to the stair count, but the stairs were comfortable.
