I have just returned from a three night stay at the Quincy. I found almost everything about the hotel horrible! I am used to staying at Marriott and Hilton chain hotels, but my company contracted with a new travel agent and those hotels were no longer available for work trips. I had read the reviews before choosing this hotel and tried to follow guidance from other reviewers. At check-in, I asked for a room on the quiet side of the hotel. The gentlemen at the front desk laughed and in a condescending manner said that DC is a loud city and I have to learn to get used to that. He provided "the last room on the L street side," however it was directly over Mackey's pub. Additionally, the windows have no sound proofing, so you hear every street noise--including bar patrons who stepped outside to smoke. So much for a good night's sleep!
The room was a nice size for DC hotels and had a full kitchen; however, the refrigerator was extremely loud and right next to the bed. You could not adjust the temperature of the room, therefore it felt like a sauna for the three nights.
I also had trouble with the tub and toilet draining. Both clogged easily. It took 10 minutes for the tub to fully drain after a quick morning shower.
Housekeeping does not knock on the door before they come into service the room or turn down the bed, so make sure you keep both the security locks fastened at all times if you are in the room. TV was old and remote only worked if you stood directly in front of the TV--not from sofa or bed. No full length mirror. No overhead lighting. Dirty grout in the shower.
Only good things about this hotel were its location and the free Washington Post delivered to your door each morning.
I would not recommend staying at the Quincy!
