"Excellent location, very comfy bed,pillows and bedding,very welcoming atmosphere in the lobby and bar,very friendly and helpful staff at front desk"

"The staff is friendly and helpful. They serve a great breakfast and give 2 complimentary drinks per person per night. Beds comfortable and rooms clean. Parking garage available at extra cost. There are other eating establishments about a mile away. We walked but you could take a metro bus. Metro bus stop close by. We were there for NIH visits. I think it took 15-30 minutes by metro bus to get there."

"What a great little gem in such an accessible part of the city"

"The staff at the hotel is amazing and the location was perfect."

"The scenery and atmosphere was beautiful "

"This hotel is well located near the national mall and a quick 10 min walk to the wharf that’s home to multiple restaurants. Any taxi ride required was never more than $10-15. Mr Ali was quick with the door and always there to answer any questions and offer any service. The morning coffee in the lobby was the only negative. It was just never hot enough! "

"Positives…Inside, the Shoreham is a beautiful, classic hotel that seems as if it materialized out of the pages of the Great Gatsby. The interior is appointed with amazing chandeliers, relief paintings on high arches supported by doric columns, Persian rugs, polished wood trim, and marble floors and counters. The grounds in the rear of the property are gorgeous with sweeping staircases leading down to a gazebo and garden area where they regularly hold weddings. The hotel also has a great pool, banquet halls, meeting rooms, shops, and a coffee bar. The food and service at the restaurant were excellent, and they have an upscale lounge for evening entertainment. The front desk staff were very friendly and offered several extras for us upon check in. Our king bedroom was spacious, very clean, nicely appointed, and the bed was comfortable. The property is also a very short walk to restaurants, a CVS, and the Metro. Negatives…the exterior of the hotel is really showing its age and could use a “facelift”…it’s like wrapping a Tiffany bracelet in a brown paper sack. So don’t let that deter you from staying here. Additionally, all the furniture in the lobby is worn and stained, which was very surprising to me for an Omni property, and it takes away from the rest of the ambience. They should really consider replacements/upgrades. Other than those two points, the Shoreham is our favorite place we have stayed so far in DC and we will definitely stay there again."
