Kimpton George Hotel, An Ihg Hotel

Highly recommended! The room was clean, spacious, and well-designed with a very comfortable bed. Excellent staff service—they were polite and incredibly helpful. Hotel is near to many sights seeing. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay as wonderful as it was. Beautiful decorations throughout the whole hotel.

I stayed here for about a week, at the start of September, and it was just amazing. If I wasn't on the town or in my room I would relax in the lobby and read. Sydney and Adam at the front desk were very kind to me. Ahmed was an excellent host, and there was a kind woman who helped put out breakfast who I should have grabbed the name of. And there are others too who were just so kind, I'm terribly sorry I dont have all of their names. I dont know how the staff did it, being able to be kind and attentive the whole time I was there. I respected and appreciated that so much. The location was great, I liked our room though I wished the AC could go below 65, but the people were what made the experience so extra wonderful. I would love to have an opportunity to return in the future.

I got a room for the day because it's close to the train station, so having a spot to drop bags and shower before heading home is great. This hotel is really close to Union Station and the staff are really friendly. It doesn't compare to the Conrad, which is where I always stay, and it's roughly the same price, but if you're looking for a room close to Union, this is it.

Stayed at The George recently on a work trip from the UK for around a week. Summary is it was good but the hotel is tired and had some minor issues. The Good The rooms were very well sized with plenty of space to spread out. Bed was lovely and very comfortable with great soft pillows! Desk was nicely sized with built in sockets and USB charging and the bathroom was well sized with a shower and separate bathtub. Vanity and mirror were huge and lots of space to keep toiletries. Coffee maker and minifridge worked great and there was plenty of room in the wardrobe with a robe and ironing board included. Housekeeping were great and cleaned the room whenever I needed including restocking the coffee machine supplies, providing new towels and remaking the bed. The front desk were always on hand to help whatever the hour and generous with the snack supplies and the wine hour, even giving us a glass of wine later in the evening when we (slightly cheekily) asked after a late night! The hotels location is fantastic being a 10 min walk from Union station for Amtrack and Metro services and a 15 min walk from the Capitol campus. Rest of DC can be easily reached via the Metro from Union Station. The not So Good The rooms while comfortable and pleasantly decorated were noticeably tired. Fraying carpets in the main part of the room, chipped cabinet doors and faulty USB sockets on the desk were quickly noticed. The desk drawer had partially broken meaning if you pulled on the left knob it would come off partially. There weren't any ceiling lights in the main part of the room only lamps, while it worked it was a tad annoying to have to turn on four different lamps to light my room each night (and to turn them off if I got into bed comfy and forgot one). The hallways and elevators weren't air conditioned leading to a stuffy environment when you left your room. On the topic of AC, the room AC worked very well BUT it really was loud. In some modes the compressor would make a very loud clunk that could easily wake someone sleeping. The hotel has a holding charge deposit which wasnt a problem, mine was $500 but my colleague who also paid $500 for their deposit was accidentally charged a double holding deposit. Not a very good look given the already high cost of the deposit. Finally, I had extended checkout on my last day at 2pm but this wasnt communicated to housekeeping. So I was disturbed twice while getting ready and packing on my final day by housekeeping wanting to clean my room. When told I had a late checkout at 2pm they seemed sceptical but left me be. Again, not a good look and the first time I've been bothered by housekeeping repeatedly. Overall, a decent stay in a very great location but a tad overpriced for what you get. Staff were lovely and very attentive but the lack of a bar/restaurant is keenly felt. The decor of the rooms needs a bit of work such as replacement of carpets and repair of some furniture/facilities. Communication needs to be worked on as late chechout should have to deal with frustrated housekeeping who havent been told the room will still be occupied for an additional two hours past the regular checkout time.
