Beautiful, historic hotel in lovely area of DC. Staff is fantastic, especially the hot bartender Bo from Georgia. Highly recommend staying here as there is easy access to Woodley Park-Zoo Metro.
Nice Jacuzzi (though could be hotter, good after arriving from the airport) and beautiful garden (with fountain great to sit and have a couple of beers in the evening/night )

There is only one Omni Shoreham. It's full of history and grandeur. If you haven't been inside, it's a must see. Make sure to check out the garden in the back especially in April.
Historic? Yes. Impressive lobby and first floor? Yes. Carpet stains in room? Yes. Peeling wallpaper? Yes. Nicked and gauged wood furniture? Yes. Really bummed out about this place...
Rooms are spacious and clean. The pool is fantastic for those DC summers. Don’t bother with breakfast, save your wallet and enjoy a better meal at Open City across the street.
Warning: If you check in late at night, they may not have a room for you. Maybe corporate gives them a bonus for overselling -- booting those who get a deal and keeping those who overpay.

While the front is less-than-impressive, the rear garden is quite scenic and pleasant. Outdoor pool can be warm & busy in summer: just a relaxing pool not a swimming/lap pool.
Skip the lobby bar - walk across Calvert to one of the restaurants on Connecticut or 24th. Adams Morgan Metro stop is close - save in taxis and experience the awesome escalator ride!
