The location cannot be beat...RIGHT across the street from where the line forms for White House tour. Again, great location. The rooms, however, are small. Felt cramped and crowded with our family. We like to stay in top-notch locations and properties with comfortable amenities. We're just not "W" people-- too hip for my tastes! No other complaints. The POV rooftop bar/lounge has a view that is tremendous. Although, when we checked in with the hostess we were told that "anyone under 21" (our kids are 10 and 7) needs to be out by 5pm-- we got there at 4:15...plenty of time, seemingly, to have a snack and a few bev's. POV was uncrowded at this point, plenty of servers milling about. However, we went unnoticed until 4:30 when we had to get up and ask for a server to take our order. Seemed a bit incongruous to me, since they made a point about our party having a time limit. Our light snacks arrived, leaving us 10min to eat and get our check. The check....another process that took way too long. Seems like the kind of place that knows they have a good thing (the view), so no one needs to tell them what to do. Oh well...we had a wonderful time in DC, nonetheless. We stayed for 2 nights at the W. Next time we'll seek other properties-- likely the Willard next door.
