Washington Plaza Hotel D.C.

This hotel needs a lot of work. I am not a picky consumer, and this is the FIRST hotel I walked out of within an hour of checking in. The bed was not a queen like I requested, but rather two full sized, so I changed rooms. The room with the queen sized bed was nearly 1/3 smaller in size. My view outside showed a gentleman working on their swimming pool. There were renovations occurring on every floor, so much so, it made the air very dusty. I didn't learn there this until my second visit to the Guest Services desk, they didn't tell me after I wanted to switch rooms and they didn't inform me of this when I made my reservation. Aside from my personal experience, however, the photos of the room are very deceptive because they look much larger until you're standing in one. The gift shop is small and the staff working in it were discourteous to the point of unprofessional. Every aspect except for the front lobby, which was beautiful, was a hotel experience I wouldn't mind forgetting.

P.S. Upon leaving I found more then adequate lodging at the very next hotel I looked at, which I will not name, but it's atop a CVS, in which the rooms were twice the size, with better amenities and wonderful service...for the same exact price!
