Don’t waste your time!
The bathroom was very small. The shower was awful to work. The bedroom was tiny!!!!! They did not state it was less than queen bed but rather a full sized bed. Definitely not for a small family . Our two little girls didn’t even fit!
Awful hidden fees. They charged us for amenities… that basically included a gym which we never used!!!!
Our room wasn’t even clean! Found dirty socks in room!

Fab location, superb friendliness and extremely well trained and accommodating staff, and a lively and hip place near a plethora of good restaurants (including at least four or five by José Andre). The City Center near by has most of the great European designers. A+

A Good Choice in DC
Located close to major museums with lots of nearby restaurants. Spacious room with comfy chair. Excellent shower, but toilet area a little cramped. Nice restaurant and bar, which is popular on Friday evening. Would stay again, although I don't much like the "resort fee." Good value for Washington.

water was way too hot, & difficult to adjust. shower door was hung wonky, so water rained through the separation, putting lots of water on the bathroom floor. I'm used to 2 sheets on a bed, not just 1. does that duvet get washed every client change? I normally only cover up with a sheet; a heavier cover is too much. overall was a nice place & close to metro, which was one reason we chose it.

Visit The Riggs
The Riggs Hotel was located in a very convenient area within walking distance of the Mall, museums, shops and more. They had some bikes we enjoyed borrowing to ride around the area. All was lovely with the exception that the shower was very hot and not easily cooled and the electricity shorted in our room, but was quickly fixed, making it a brief and odd occurrence. Every staff member was very friendly and we were glad to have stayed at this charming hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at the Riggs! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The cafe was delightful with delicious food. The location is fantastic and the rate was more than reasonable in comparison with other local hotels. We will definitely be back.
