First I would just like to say that the Jefferson exceeded my expectations with regards to attention to detail and overall satisfaction with our stay. I planned a nice little getaway for my wife and I to celebrate our 9th anniversary. I mentioned this in passing to the front desk when I booked the reservation. And to both our delite they really listened. […] When we arrived for the actual date they not only upgraded us to a larger suite (free of charge) but had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us. To be quite honest we werent expecting much because we didnt make a big deal about the anniversary it was just mentioned during conversation. They also left us some very nice personalized notes from the management team. These little touches really sold us on the Jefferson. The hotel itself is very nice warm and inviting. It has a somewhat historic feel to it, which is what they were going for in honor of Thomas Jefferson of course. It's a nice tribute to Americana. The reading room was inviting and cozy and the room was well situateed. Overall it was a very pleasing stay and one which we would certainly repeat again and again. Read more

This is obviously a very nice hotel and the hotels.com rate allows us more frugal types an entry point. The architectural nooks of the hotel are delightful if you use them. If you're just going to walk by everything without taking the time then I wouldn't spend the money to stay here - you can always walk in and have a look and get a drink at the bar. The […] bar (Quill) by the way is excellent with great ambiance and crafted cocktails. Being so great, they don't come cheap. As I said - if you go, go big. The room we were given was next to the elevator and was without view. In fact, they apply a fancy film cover to the window precisely so you can't see what's outside your window, which are ducts from the adjacent roof. That said, the hotel is only four floors, so I doubt there's much of a city view to be had out of any of the rooms. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is the best you'll ever find in the world. You'd think that's not a big deal, but when you've been walking around DC all day it really is. We ate a Plume and it was one of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had, although they obviously set us in a tucked-away corner away from the more famous architectural elements that the restaurant is known for. If you make a reservation, be sure to specify your desired location. Regardless, we greatly enjoyed our meal and payed mightily for it. If you go, go big. We showed up in a SuperShuttle and felt very out of place. We really should have taken the town car. If you go, go big. We showed up for breakfast prior to our outgoing flight and didn't get the impression we were highly welcome in our plane-ready attire. If you go, go big - and dress nice. The metro is not very close to the hotel - a few blocks away and the city blocks in DC are rather large. Plan on walking or having personal transportation available. The neighborhood is comfortable, feels safe, and has a few decent restaraunts at affordable prices nearby. If you're prepared to take the Read more

It took going through an uncomfortable night in an unacceptable room before we were moved to an attractive room. The first room we were shown was small and felt claustrophobic and the second we ultimately accepted turned out to be noisy and not comfortable for two people. Only after a complaint after that bad first night were we given a room that had […] been available when we checked in. After that first night we had a very enjoyable stay. Read more

The Jefferson is an excellent choice for a stay in Washington, D.C. The staff was friendly and very accomodating. When we arrived 6 hours after our expected arrival time, and 2 hours after our reservation for dinner across town, the staff got us in at the hotel restaurant - Plume - for a late dinner (which was exceptional). The White House and Lafayette […] Park are 5 blocks away straight down 16th, and the Capitol, National Mall and most main sites are about 10 minutes away by cab. Rooms are a touch on the small side, but they are comfortable and very clean. Read more

The service and public areas were above and beyond my expectations. We were called by name and our every wish was catered to. However, our room was minute - NY hotel rooms are more spacious. We had to take turns getting into the wardrobe and there was no chair to relax and watch TV - only the desk chair which was nice, but was in front of the closet, […] so the TV viewer had to move while someone was getting dressed. The bathroom and shower were absolutely wonderful - I think they may have been larger than the bedroom. Read more

We stayed at The Jefferson for one night and loved it. The decor is an interesting combination of old world and modern, and we thought it was beautiful. The bed was comfortable and we didn't hear too much street noise because we were on the 4th floor. The bathroom was lovely and spacious, and I particularly enjoyed the two windows that let light into […] the bathroom (with privacy sheers you can use while bathing). We did order room service, but they had to keep calling us back to confirm different parts of our order (and they ended up being out of the dessert I wanted), so it seems like some service kinks still need to be worked out. I thought the food was only okay (tomato soup way too salty). Although the fries my husband had with his burger were delicious, and my chicken was nicely roasted, I didn't think the high prices were worth the quality of the food we received. Overall, though, we enjoyed our stay and would go back. Read more
