Windsor Park Hotel

I will not recommend this hotel for anyone to stay. Worst experience ever!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The off-street parking was very inconvenient. After circling the surrounding blocks several times, we finally found a parking space 4 blocks away and parked right at the space opposite the arrow on the no-parking side of the pole. The bumper of my SUV and back tire were within the no-parking space though. I prayed I wouldn't have a ticket in the morning. […] I didn't. It is an no smoking hotel. But as always you're going to have some people who know this, but don't care about other people rights when it comes to getting a good deal. We only endure the smoke smell on the 1st night stay. As for the dirty curtains it wasn't so bad to know that after I turned away. The daybed and master bed squeaked. The bathroom smell of slight mildew coming from the floor under the sink. I brought a can of Glade air freshener for the second day stay. For a quick in/out stay and your expectations are not high-I was not to disappointed only because it was not far from the college dorm my child moved into. But the hotel clerks behind the desk were very nice and courteous. P.S. My adult said she liked the hotel. Read more

I think Windsor Park is great, and would definitely stay there again. But know what you're getting -- you're getting a clean, comfortable (roughly Motel 6-level) room in a great location for a reasonable price. If you want to luxuriate, or want a super comfortable bed where you can lay back and watch a big flatscreen tv, this is not the place for you. […] We had a small room with a full-size bed and a tiny televsion. It was clean and comfortable enough, and having two computers with free internet access set up was nice. The bottom line is that I think if you just want to stay downtown in a great location (very close to both Dupont and Adams Morgan) which has street parking nearby that isn't that close to nail down, and you're going to mainly be out and about and don't want to spend a ton of money, I don't think you'll do much better. If you're going to be spending much time in the hotel room or want a more upscale experience, you should look elsewhere. Read more

Based on other's reviews, I expected a dive but hotel had ac olonial charm to it. Beds were firm, but that's how I like them. AC was adequate but older controls are hard to regulate. Quiet room in quiet Embassy Row with small park across street. Pet-firendly for service dogs. Nice costco brand breakfast muffins, croissants, bagels and Philly cream cheese; […] coffee and juice till 9:30am prompt! Four person elevator ran fine but small Read more

The interior of the hotel was very outdated like some of the reviews mentioned. However, the kindly nature of the staff and management made up for it. Breakfast was sparse, but again it was sufficient to get the day started. My room was quite clean-That is a big deal to me...

As with most things in life, staying at the Windsor Park Hotel comes with pros and cons...but for my purposes the pros outweighed the cons. The Windsor Park is an older hotel and as such, there were no fancy schmancy 21st century bells and whistles (I can't remember the last time I got a non-microchip key at a hotel, the elevator is small and slow, […] and the continental breakfast is simple but adequate: bagels, cream cheese, muffins, and coffee.) It was also in a pretty quiet neighborhood, a good 10-20 minutes from the infamous D.C. tourist attractions, and was a good 5-7 minute walk from two Metro stations on the red line, smack dab in the middle (though there were several restaurants and shops a 5 minute walk away so it wasn't like being in the wilderness.) Of course, this made it a much better deal financially than its downtown counterparts, for the fiscally responsible traveler. There were also two computers on the ground floor with complimentary Internet access, a vending machine for snacks and drinks, and a very pleasant, helpful staff who answered all of my questions and did not hesitate to call me a cab or chat with me in the lobby while I awaited said chariot. All in all, I had a solid experience at the Windsor Park, and would highly recommend it if you're just looking for a comfortable place to lay your head at night and don't mind a minimal amount of schlepping to see the Capitol Building, et al.

Bed was sooooo uncomfortable I had to buy a pad to put under mattress pad. Breakfast lousy and no amenities worth mentioning. No place close to get a quick snack or meal. Really weird atmosphere.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Fine if it's much cheaper than nearby options in Dupont, but otherwise weak in lack of operating wi-fi, mediocre coffee/breakfast options, basic decor, and a location that is just in between 2 Metro stations - in other words, not quite near either. For its location overall in DC during peak times, it's worthwhile. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Always had the sense the neighborhood was safe. Hotel was older, but generally clean. A/C unit did not cool to my liking and appeared to be ancient. One-half mile walk to Metro stop on protected walkway. Free breakfast was minimal, but what do you expect? Free internet connection. Overall fair for the price.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: This is an older hotel so it is not extravagant (rooms are small, the heating/air conditioning unit is not very modern, and some of the bedding looks old and outdated). My room was clean, though, and the bed was comfortable. One electrical outlet didn't work. STAFF: The staff were all very helpful and pleasant, going the extra mile […] to help me when I asked. AMENITIES: The breakfast is not amazing (bagels, muffins, juice and coffee) but it fills you up. No coffee maker in the room, but there was an iron, ironing board, and hair dryer provided. The TV was small, but reception was good and they had a good selection of channels. I did not use the meeting space/available computers, but the wi-fi seemed decent (not super fast, but I could go online without too much lag). LOCATION/PRICE: Great upscale neighborhood with easy access to the Metro and several nearby restaurants/bars. There is a tiny park across the street, and another much larger one about 2 blocks away that you can see from the hotel. The neighborhood was quiet, with lots of people walking/jogging at night, suggesting a relatively safe area. The price was much lower than other hotels in the area. OVERALL: I was here on business, and while I wouldn't call it a "romantic getaway," I would happily bring my wife here (and that's not something I would say about every place I've stayed for business trips). If you're looking for a four star hotel you'll be disappointed, but if you want a nice clean place in a safe neighborhood, you can't do much better than here. I would gladly stay here again.

The Windsor Park Hotel is conveniently located on Connecticut Avenue just across from Rock Creek Park. It is in a quiet, attractive residential neighborhood about 15-minutes walk from Dupont Circle Metro stop. It is cleaned and well-maintained.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Could have been worse! Flat panel TV. Bedding not great. Bathroom redone. Great location, right between 2 metro stops, Woodley Park and Dupont Circle. Free wi-fi. Good for individuals with lower standards, cheap folks, and single guys looking to save a hundred bucks a night.

This is an older hotel that does not have a big screen tv or restaurant or a gleaming lobby. the cleanliness could be better, though it was not horrible except for the dirt in the bathroom corner behind the door. The rooms were comfortable and the AC worked well. The price/quality ratio was fine and the location for my purposes was very good. Easy to […] walk to Dupont Circle or the Zoo or the Metro.

Very small room; Beds were not very firm or comfortable; no view; run-down feel to it. The only thing good was the location.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Continental breakfast selection very limited; not ready at 6am. Wireless internet access not at all satisfactory. Spend a little more for better service. It's worth it.

Windsor Park Hotel is not luxurious or fancy, but it is adequate, in a beautiful, safe neighborhood with very kind, helpful staff. I stayed in a room with two queen beds with my teenage daughter and we did not feel too cramped. There is a huge closet and a tiny bathroom, a desk, a dresser, a desk chair, a TV and a fridge. That's it. It was clean, everything […] worked and it is in a great neighborhood. It was very plain, but one does not go to Washington, DC to stay in their hotel room. The hotel is about 0.75 miles from the DuPont Circle so it was easy to get to the Metro and find food and there were lots of little fun things to do in the neighborhood if we didn't have the time or energy to go for a big adventure (look at the embassies, Adams Morgan, DuPont, Woodrow Wilson house, the textile museum, the Nat'l Geographic Museum). A review of the hotel is not complete without mentioning how kind and helpful the desk staff was. They were always identifying and figuring out ways to save parking spaces for guests. They knew all about the local sites and things to do, how to get there, etc. I'd stay there again next time I go. Read more

We needed to be in area close to daughter's internship location , so Kalorama Circle worked for us. It was safe, albeit inconvenient to Metro , with interesting restaurants around. Hotel furnishing, linens, and wall/carpet conditions need refurbishing. Tired and scruffy , linens , although clean, are thinned out from years of wear. Room and bath are […] clean, but dark and dreary all day long. Complimentary continental breakfast was served, sparse but okay. Consists of packaged muffins, bagels danish, orange juice and coffee and whatever condiments , butter, milk etc.., required. Would not stay there again , if I don't need to be in that location.

Low price, room works as a place to see DC from. Nothing at the Hotel, just cable and a hot shower. Breakfast was coffe, juice and a muffin or bagel.

This is a very adequate hotel for most of tourists who only sleep there and spend their time exploring the city. The location is great-close to two metro stations. There are many places to eat around. Dupont circle area has many restaurants and is nice to take a walk.

Nice old style hotel. The staff was helpful. There is no parking. The Hilton lot was $32/ day and 2 blocks away on Connecticut Ave. The neighborhood bordered on a nice residential section. 3 blocks from the metro. For the modest price, it was clean and well kept. We parked the car and used public transportation, which is well done in DC. We were there […] for 4 days during the NCAA playoffs and did not spend time in the room, nor did we want a pool or exercise room. they did supply a Continental Breakfast and coffee daily. Read more

It's been years (read college) since I stayed in a hotel this sad. I booked the room last minute and this was the last thing I could get within the preferred neighborhoods for under $300. This room was not worth even half of the premium I paid. The first room I was given was horrible. The thrift store bedspread was faded and pilling. The mattress had […] to be 10 years old and made squeaky sounds when I sat on it. The carpet was suspect and the sad little TV was precariously perched on what was probably a telephone table at one point. I asked for another room and was given a 'suite'. This was also a lame excuse for an expensive room. The outer room had a day bed as a couch which I guess is handy if you're bringing your kids. The bed was better in this room and it looked pretty clean. The bathroom sink however leaked and the soaps/shampoos were Motel 6 quality. The curtains in the bedroom were starting to unravel and were dirty at the bottom. The kicker - on the morning I was checking out I spotted a dead mouse in a trap under the radiator. Um - never again. Read more

This was a nice older hotel. Rooms are clean and the staff is pleasant. The beds are definitly in need of replacement. The mattresses on both of the beds in my room felt like I was going to fall through to the floor. Could not connect to the internet at all with my laptop.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was basic no frills

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We aren't picky travelers who care to pay for a hotel that updates everything every two years, so we may not be the average American traveler. That said, we loved our experience at Windsor Park. The room was much larger than expected, including a kitchen, a nice-sized living area with a trundle bed/sofa, and a separate bedroom and bathroom. The staff […] was helpful when asked for suggestions and allowed us to keep our bags there after checkout while we spent a few hours site-seeing in D.C. Additionally, the hotel is in an ideal location near two Metro stops, one being Dupont Circle. If we are back in D.C. for a conference or a site-seeing excursion, we will definitely go back!

All stairs in the front so you will be carrying your luggage up several flights of stars. The elevator said 4 maximum but good luck getting all 4 in. This place has not seen a upgrade in 40 years. Nothing charming here. Small room, old bed, old TV, small barely functional desk, non-working internet, simply nothing to like.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was great. Considering the price I paid I expected less than I got. What I got was a hotel in a great location with friendly staff and a clean room. The only issue we had was that the faucet in the bathroom stopped working sometime during our first night there. We told the manager, and he told use he didn't have a plumber available but he […] would try to fix it, but if he couldn't he would move us to another room. When we got back everything was in working order. Read more

The Hotel staff need some customer Service training. The Winsor people shoudl treat each guest with much concern So the guest will be repeat guests. Common sense right.

This quaint hotel, nestled in the midst of embassies, close to Connecticutt Ave and cute restaurants had awful beds, doors that wouldn't shut and lumpy carpets. However, it's convenience and price helped us endure.

Windsor Park Hotel - is the best hotel in Washington

Genuine Expedia guest review

I choose this hotel due to location and price. It was very satisfactory...with in 10-15 minute walk to metro station. However, there is no parking at the hotel; the street is primarily 2-hour parking There is another hotel with paid parking a few blocks away which we used, but the fee largely negated the savings on the room.
