The room was beautiful! The room amenities were fantastic! I especially loved the kind and courteous staff. The food was amazing. We had a wonderful dinner at the Fairview restaurant and ate a hearty room service breakfast in our room.
Great stay. Beautiful historical property with a very welcoming staff.

Just a few nitpicks. Pillows were too thick. Requested thinner pillows never showed up. Room door kept sticking and had to kick it open a few times in order to get in. Staff was really friendly and helpful.
Under construction
Friendly staff!
Amazing service!
Will come again!

We stay at Washington Duke typically at least twice a year. However, this stay was not up to their typical standards. Very low water preassure in the showers and the water was barely warm. The front desk sent someone up to check it, but his efforts did not improve the situation. The room we stayed in was clean but the furnishing were in poor condition. The food was fabulous though!
I always stay here and it’s pleasant and always clean. Unfortunately the rehab has created a huge issue checking in and accessing the gym. Hopefully they will complete it quickly
Very nice stay at the WDI. All the people there were very helpful and pleasant. Everything was clean and organized. I will be going again to stay in the future!
