“Willard's White House doorstep”
InterContinental Hotels The Willard Washington D.C. is a century-old landmark — retro-gorgeous decor to match — literally across from the White House entrance queue, five minutes to the Washington Monument, twenty-five to Lincoln. The praise: flawless housekeeping, a big well-equipped room with slippers and water, an excellent view and friendly service. The critique is harsh: staff are described as cold and smileless including room service; facilities feel old — a last-century hairdryer, only a fixed overhead shower that complicates kids' baths, uncomfortable pillows and mattress, light-leaking curtains, and outlets placed far from the desk.
