I love, love coming to NYC. I was here for one night while traveling, and my main reason for booking hotels Downtown is for the amazing views, period. This hotel is falsely advertising just that, their views. Their rooftop bar is no longer open, which is really like a main attraction for many. You can still access a part of the balcony, but you wouldn’t know if you don’t asked, because the doors are closed off. Even if you do go out. It’s black. No lights, just chairs. You can’t access the open rooftop part at all that is seen online. The hotel needs a really bad update. The rooms and bathrooms are so not worth it. Just old. I paid extra for a corner room with a view, but I got a back corner room with absolutely no view. I won’t be spending this kind of money to ever stay here again. The only plus was housekeeping was so nice and sweet, and I did get to view the One World Trade Center from a dark balcony with no lights.

Great location, room had a great view, lobby is cool. Bed was clean but a few areas around the room could have used some more cleaning. For the price it was a good stay.

There is a reason this has a giant C rating from the city on the doors. As bare bones as it gets - no coffee in the room, no lounge/bar downstairs to get coffee Elevators don’t even close all the way Room feels like it’s a day away from being rehabbed, mildew smell, rotten ceiling AND spider webs in the shower and marks and stains all over the walls…even the duvet was stained

This property was left vacant after Covid for many years and has never been maintained. There were dirt and stains, holes in the sheets in a terrible odor in the room. I reached out to Management multiple times and there is only one person supposedly available to resolve a refund who has yet to get back to me.

We stayed at The Washington for 3 nights. The hotel is located near a restaurants, attractions, and easy to get on and off public transportation. Rooms are rundown and old, the staff was friendly. Hotel has a very dark lobby. Bath towels and beddin are old and over use, carpets are old in the rooms and hallways, other than that the hotel is located in a very convenient location, near World Trade Center and Financial District and Brooklyn Bridge
