"On my first trip to Washington, DC, almost 70 years ago, I stayed with my family at the Shoreham. This was my first time staying there since then, though I had attended several conferences there during the 45 years I lived in the DC area. I'm so glad I chose the Shoreham. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. My room was spacious, lovely, and clean, with good lighting, lots of outlets, very nice, comfortable furniture, and terrific bathroom amenities. The water pressure in the shower was probably the best I've ever experienced in a hotel. The housekeeping staff did a great job. All this for a very reasonable price. And, though I really dislike "resort fees," this one actually included a credit at the bar that was enough to get me a light dinner one night. The Shoreham was a great hotel 70 years ago. It still is. And it is in a very convenient location, a block from a Metro station and just a block or two from a number of shops and restaurants. I recommend it highly."
