The Churchill Hotel

I found a good deal for this hotel on the web, but I wouldn’t stay here again. First of all, the walls are ridiculously thin and you can hear every conversation going on in neighboring rooms.
The counter in the bathroom did not seem very clean and the hot water in the bathroom sink wasn’t working, We had to «fix» the toilet when the bowl wasn’t filling and there was no coffee maker. How can a hotel not provide a coffee maker in the room? When requested, an old-​fashioned one was brought in – not the K kind. The coffee was dreadful.
The bed was fine, but there were no extra pillows which would have been helpful for back issues.
The location is good – close to Dupont Circle Metro and easy access to the museums. But I’d rather spend a little more and get better quality than settle for less. The people were very nice and professional and we were given a room on a higher floor, away from the elevator as I had asked. If only there hadn’t been guests next door – it would have been much quieter.

Came here off a deal, met Andrew who is the night manager. He took care of two needy guests ahead of me. Still showing me amazing hospitality he directed me to my room and offered to serve me dessert at 130 in the morning… unheard of in DC at this time. Service was impeccable will be back soon, thanks again Andrew you made the stay awesome

It’s an older hotel but they’re working on renovations — which made the stay interesting. The walls in the rooms are very thin as other reviewers have stated. We could hear everything in the hall, other rooms and outside.
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. You have a lovely view if you can put up with the street noise. The staff was helpful and kind — in an above and beyond way. Very attentive. Even the bar tender was awesome and topped off our drinks at the end of the night.
You’re about half a mile from DuPont Circle and the good shops and food. You can walk to the White House and museums but it’s a haul.
I’d stay here again!

The service here is incredible (probably one of the best I have had at a hotel). The location is perfect. The accommodations are great. I will be staying here every time I come to DC from now on!

Beautiful location and building, lots of character. Staff was exceeding friendly and helpful. Room was small but clean and the bed was very comfortable. Noon checkout is a nice touch, and there were no hassles that we were a bit later than that. Only complaint would is that the shower was weak with very low water pressure.

It is a historic building, right in Dupont Circle so very convenient. However, the building needs some renovation. The elevator was very slow. We could not watch hbo from the tv in the room. They sent someone in twice but it was never fixed during our 4 day stay.

My husband and I had a very comfortable stay at the Churchill. I would recommend this hotel for casual stays.
Useful notes:
— no pool or continental breakfast if you’re in to those sorts of things.
— street parking or valet service (at a fee) only
We checked in late, past 1am. We were pretty beat to say the least. The staff were very friendly, offering a later checkout (so we could sleep in), and a bottle of water for each of us.
My favorite things are that the Churchill didn’t have not even a hint of smoky smell (at least where we were) or that cheesy chain hotel vibe. The rooms are charming, homey, and clean. The historic aspect is nice. The fridge and microwave are hidden inside beautiful furniture. Very cozy. What the hotel lacks in «bells and whistles», it immensely wins with comfort and GREAT VALUE.

Like many hotels in the area, this one is an older building. Not sure when it was renovated last, but its *slightly* outdated and dank.
The staff are very attentive, happy, and friendly.
Our room was a nice size, I believe it was a junior king? A small sitting room is separated from the bedroom.
For $ 180 bucks a night it’s a fair deal, but not somewhere I’d stay for an anniversary or other special occasion.

The following days are even worse. Our friend arrived a day after U.S. And they get a parking place and then we went and ask them again. AGAIN! They told us they do not have space. We went to check out where our friend park. There are tons of place available! There is a car parking in front of the hotel for two days and this morning when we tried to park in front of the hotel for 15mins so we can get our stuff ready. They told us we have to pay $ 26. REALLY! And the staff when I said hello to her, she just ignored me and passed.

I purchased this hotel stay through a third party vendor. I wasn’t sure what to expect. It seemed a bit older but was in the part of town I wanted to stay in with access to Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle.
The staff members varied. The staff members I encountered on my arrival — they were fantastic! There were a few over the course of the week that rose to that level. Others were mediocre.
My room was HUGE! I couldn’t believe how much space there was! It was an older building but had everything I needed and was very quiet, which I like when traveling for work. I had a semi-​private room with a desk for working which also had a mini-​fridge and a safe. I had two beds, which I love — I’m one person, I know but I dig it for some reason. The bathroom was divided into a sink area and another space with a toilet and tub/​shower. I did notice that the showers were very loud and could be heard very well through the ceilings/​floors.
The only strange thing that happened was upon returning to my room from work all day, I found the dresser moved about 5 inches from the wall. It’s a heavy dresser so I couldn’t move it and couldn’t imagine why anyone would. I had to call to have someone move it back. Weird.
I didn’t find any printed materials about amenities (like room service) in the room. The only thing there was a flyer about breakfast hanging on the door. I wouldn’t have like to know more about their amenities but honestly, they can’t expect folks to use stuff they don’t know about.
Overall, a good stay and I’d consider booking again!

Checkin at the desk began with upgrading us to a suite for free, so we were thrilled as our stay at the Churchill would be for 4 nights.
The room was spacious, looked great, and was clean. All amenities were as expected: plentiful and clean towels, in-​room coffee maker, free wifi, and a nice view from the windows.
The hotel’s bar has a good happy hour and there’s even a free beverage Unilocal offer if you checkin at the Churchill. Food was serviceable at the bar so no worries if you drop in after a flight.
All employees encountered were polite and helpful. Located not too far from the DuPont Circle area and its metro stop. Good restaurants and bars are within a short walk. The Smithsonian Museums are just a quick Metro trip away. We’d definitely go back to the Churchill.

I have no complaints about my stay here. Check in and check out was easy. Staff were friendly. Room service was fast and the burger and fries were above average. The room was spacious and clean. I’d stay here again.

This staff is incredibly friendly and the location is great. It has an «old school vibe» but I personally loved the charm. I don’t get all the negative reviews about housekeeping, I mean if you’re looking around the room for dust bunnies in every corner, it’s not them it’s you. We got great recommendations for restaurants and there is a lot of places within walking distance. Quick shout out to Mohammed the valet who was really kind and also very friendly.

We were so pleased with the Churchill experience. The staff was very responsive initially when we were «shopping around» for hotels. Once everything was confirmed, they were on hand to provide general guidance and field frantic questions and requests. Everyone we encountered was very professional and our wedding guests felt at home. All our needs were met and I would recommend The Churchill Hotel to anyone without hesitation.

Well so far i can’t disagree more with the negative reviews on this place. Staff (Steven) was the friendliest I’ve ever been treated in DC and the room is gorgeous. They asked me upon checkin if I’d like a map and list of restaurants. Heck yes. Then he proceeded to give me a quick run down of sites and dining options. Steven was exceedingly helpful with directions to the room. I am a thumbs up on this place. A high thumbs up. I was worried based on some of these reviews but nothing like that has happened for me (negative.). This place is better than the Hilton or Sheraton. Rooms are beautiful and very clean. The price i got at
was the cheapest in DC except for cheap and low cost chains. If you are going for cost this is the place.
I’ll edit the review if it goes south but for now for me Lovin it!!!

You can’t beat the location. The building is impressive. The lobby was elegant and the dining room too. The service has been efficient and personable. The elevators were no problem. The room is huge. First impression was lovely.
Started to look at the details. The wallpaper is at least two decades old and peeling. The doors, hardware, fixtures, and the lamps had seen better days. The bathroom is tiny and odd. It is a remodel nightmare. It appears to have been installed in the fifties or the sixties and they have done hodge podge updating over the decades.
I looked at the mattresses — they appear to be bed bug free. But they are old and hard. The bedding is new and nice.
The one thing that I reconsider not booking again, the housekeeping/​maintenance is terrible. I had to clean the knobs and edges of the doors; they were sticky and dirty. The bathroom is filthy. I don’t want to go barefoot on that floor. It is gross. I had to clean the faucet and the toilet handle. You could see visible dirt that has piled up during a long time. There is no excuse for that unkempt state. I have stayed in cheaper hotels that were cleaner than this.
It is a matter of management caring about this. I read a number of reviews that indicate that this has been going on for at least several years.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! Got a great deal and it was BEAUTIFUL inside and out! I had some friends visit from out of town and they really appreciated the historic structure and décor. The room was VERY spacious and the staff were courteous and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again!

This is definitely a retro hotel. Don’t come if you expect brand new, clean and shiny accommodations. That being said, I’ve experienced good service and a pleasant front desk staff.
Sure the corners are dirty and the wallpaper is peeling; but for the money, I’ll take it.

Hotel room was HUGE. There was dust. Lots of it. There was a LOT of dirt in bathroom corners. 24 hour room service is not available as advertised. Menu is mediocre and the crab soup was cold and so not a bisque. However, we were mostly out at an event, so I can say that if you want a big room and can overlook the shortfalls of housekeeping, it is a good deal and, In fairness, they took the soup off my bill.

This is one of the best hotels value for the money spent in Washington, D.C. I have stayed here numerous times over the past few weeks and have stayed in lots of other hotels in this city.
The Churchill Hotel is my recommendation for one of the finest hotels of Washington, D.C.
