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.

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!
