Hello there, I stayed at the Hotel Harrington in May of 2005
for a college semester trip, the location is by far the
greatest asset! It was amazing how close it was to pretty
much everything of interest, it cut our walking time easily
in half compared to previous trips. The decor in the hotel
is richly classical, and it seems almost as if one were
still in the twenties while enjoying their stay. The rates
are unbeatable for the place you get. I would recommend
staying at the Harrington to anyone and everyone, and I will
certainly be visiting again very soon.

From its appearances, the Harrington looks a bit tired. My
room is small, tidy and functional. I am sure the rooms all
have stories to tell. The front desk and all the services
the Harrington provides is excellent, on par with those
"grand" hotel chains but without the price. I am unsure when
I will get back to Washington DC (I live in Washington
state) but I would definitely stay here again and will
recommend to others.

I
love staying at the Harrington. First visited the Harrington
in Oct 2004 with a friend, returned for a week in July
2005 with three granddaughters and again in Jan 2006 with my
daughter. I have recommended the Harrington to several
friends. Staff are efficient and friendly. The best location
in DC.! Particularly enjoyed our room in July 2005. It was
perfect with my three granddaughters. We enjoyed dining
outdoors at Harry's. Food and service are great. Keep up the
good work. Your affordable rates and safe environment
allowed me to share the wonderful DC experience with my
granddaughters. My thanks to the Harrington's owners and
staff.

Dear Hotel Harrington, |
February 2006 |
| We
have visited Washington DC 5 times since September and
always stayed at Hotel Harrington. We now probably won't be
back for a couple of years. Thank you for all your work and
providing an adequate hotel in Washington DC.
Here are two keys we didn't get
returned last time.
Thanks again,
Pam H.

I was looking for a good stay and ended up
with a great one. Thanks for being so close to everything.
I thought I'd have to catch a cab to the MCI Center but
decided walking was more convenient and helped me get a
better view of the area. The Capitol, Old Post Office, FBI
Building and many more were well within walking distance.
The breakfast in the Blue Plate was by far the best I have
ever had, the ribs in Harry's were wonderful and Ollies
Trolley was great for a quick snack. Thank you for making
my stay in DC a memorable one (for the right reasons!!)

This
letter is to thank your staff for making our stay at the
Hotel Harrington very enjoyable. My husband Bill and I
stayed at the Hotel from October 29 through November 3,
2005. When we got back home, I realized I must have left my
cell phone charger in the room. Upon inquiry, hotel
housekeeping personnel confirmed that the charger had, in
fact, been left in the room. The charger was shipped to our
home within the week.
Throughout our stay, we
encountered a very courteous staff - registration,
housekeeping, gift shop and restaurants. In addition, the
very prompt return of my cell phone charger was above and
beyond the call of duty.
This is the second time I've
stayed at the Hotel Harrington, and you can be sure that
I'll make that my lodging choice again if I return to
Washington, D.C.
Thanks again,
Carol T.

We
received excellent service during our stay. We stayed at an
upscale hotel in NYC in July 2005. The service there was
nothing compared to yours! We especially appreciate the
service we received from Jorge, Felipe, Ian, the gift shop
attendants, the Blue Plate staff, and the young man at the
front desk this morning who helped me get a flat tire fixed
allowing us to get home on time. Smoke from the lounge was
unpleasant in the lobby.

| The
Harrington Hotel is one of my favorite hotels. Even though
it is an older hotel, the great location, great price,
friendly staff and clean rooms more than make up for the
hotel's age. I was in the travel business for 18 years and
have stayed in top rated hotels. The Harrington's location
and price can not be beat. I always recommend the hotel to
anyone that is traveling to DC. In fact, my great niece said
"The Harrington Hotel is my favorite hotel and I am going to
live there when I grow up". So be prepared because in about
3 years you will receive a call from a Texas Teenager
inquiring about extended living arrangements!!

| What a great experience! As I shared with Ms. Ann, I've
stayed in many hotels and motels and all have their unique
characteristics - yours is the people that work there, the
history of the building and the location. I appreciate the
price of the rooms and the rate courtesy you extended to me
on both legs of my visit. You make it affordable to be
downtown. I know the Hotel business is tough but I hope to
find you on my next journey to Washington.
God Bless your people and
their service.

My husband and I wish to thank you for your
kindness and hospitality! We have enjoyed our visit very
much. We are looking forward to returning to your hotel with
our son Nikolas as soon as we have more free time. Your
staff have been most helpful. If people we know want to know
of a friendly hotel which is close to all of the attractions
we will give them your name. Again thanks for a wonderful
time.

I
spent five days at the Harrington for business. The
reservationist (Judy in Minnesota) was wonderful.
|
| Dear Sir/Madam, |
July 2005 |
|
We would like to
take this opportunity to "Thank You" for a wonderful stay in
your Hotel. Arrival date July 7, 2005 and Departure date
July 10, 2005 (Room 844). Our daughter is a D.A.R. member
who paged at Continental Congress. All of your staff should
be complimented on such hospitality that we experienced
every moment we spent inside your establishment. We have
never encountered such fine manners and warm welcomes from
your employees behind the front desk as well as the cleaning
ladies. Anytime we had a question they were more than
willing to answer and aide us above and beyond regular
employees.
On July 10,
2005, upon departing we inadvertently left our carrying on
bag in the lobby of your Hotel. Your quick thinking
employees did not hesitate to track down another guest
member of the D.A.R. to hand deliver our luggage to another
hotel to give to our State Regeant who in turned kept it for
us to pick up. If this bag was never returned to us it would
have been costly as one of our family members who traveled
with us was disabled and all her medications were left
inside the carry on bag. PLEASE extend our much
appreciation to all involved that secured our personal
belongings. Many thanks to all of your staff.
We hope to make
another visit next year for the National Convention of the
D.A.R. members. If you should have any questions please do
not hesitate in contacting us.

Family

Special thanks to
the maid who took care or our room. She was VERY POLITE,
SWEET, and you should be thankful to have a employee as
great as her. I had a small request and she went out of her
way to help us. I will recommend your hotel to others.

My
mother, son and I had a most memorable time at your Hotel
Harrington. We are from Dayton, Ohio. I have never met a
more efficient, friendly, courteous and professional staff.
Upon our arrival the front desk gentleman helped us with
directions to the garage, made me aware that at any hotel I
can use an alternate credit card other than the one I used
to make the reservations and made all of us feel quite
welcome, it had been a tiring day. My mother was so
impressed with the housekeeper, who had found a backing to
my mother's earring and had placed it on the tray on top of
the fridge. When it was time to go, the lady at the front
desk gave us perfect directions as to how to leave
Washington and they were perfect directions, we left without
a hitch. I cannot wait until we go back to visit Washington
again and stay at Hotel Harrington. All we have are fond
memories of our stay and 3 souvenir coffee mugs from your
gift store. Thank you for everything and don't ever change.

Dear Hotel Manager, |

| Thank you so
very much for allowing our group of Pastors' Prayer
Partners, their parents, and our staff to stay at the Hotel
Harrington during the week of June 6-10, 2005. All of us
will remember this experience and how you were willing to
provide us with excellent service. We appreciate all of your
accommodations. We also wanted
to thank the Blue Plate Cafe. The food was absolutely
delicious. We really enjoyed waking up to a fabulous
breakfast buffet and coming home to a wonderful dinner.
May God bless you and your staff.
Sincerely,

We
enjoyed our stay and the employees of the Hotel Harrington
were very nice and helpful. The rates make this a very
affordable place plus the location is 5-Star. The Blue Diner
was very good for breakfast. We purchased most of our
souvenirs in the Gift Shop. They were very helpful with all
of our tours and questions. I would recommend this Hotel to
my friends.

Dear

The hotel staff were all
very kind and extremely helpful. I know I asked them
questions every time I passed them and they always answered
with a smile. This is very important to me. I can't stand a
rude person. Also, I realize the hotel is old, but I thought
it was very clean. No odors, no bugs, etc. I will recommend
the Hotel Harrington to my friends and family. Thanks for a
wonderful stay.

I write to express my appreciation of the
service offered by your hotel during our recent school
visit. All our pupils were impressed by the hotel and made
comment on the standard of cleanliness and service they
experienced. Staff members with the party were equally
impressed and decided it was the best hotel of our trip (we
were in Boston and New York earlier) and indeed, superior to
the 5 star hotel we stayed at in Boston.
On a personal note, I found all the
staff to be very helpful and courteous and would recommend
your hotel to any future party.
Thanks for making our stay in
Washington memorable.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. D.

We loved your hotel. The main reason we
selected your hotel is that our last name is
Harrington. If we are in the Washington D.C. area again we
will stay at the hotel because of the rates and the
location, plus it is a great hotel.
Thank you for a great stay,
The Harrington Family from Texas

this information on to Ann Terry the Managing Director.
On Nov 17th 2004 Joseph was working on
the overnight desk. I needed a room and he went out of his
way to make it easy for me to stay at your hotel. Joseph is
a wonderful resource for your hotel. I will now recommend
your hotel to all my friends who will be traveling to DC.
Please pass on my thanks to Joseph

Dear Kim, |
October 2004 |
| Thank you so much for accommodating my room requests during
my recent stay with my 83 year old father. When traveling
with an elderly person, there are many little details that
can either make a trip pleasant or a challenge. It was great
to have a first floor room (quick exit in case of fire), the
handrail and rubber mat in the bathroom for safety and the
refrigerator for his special diet.
Because of the new WWII
Memorial, I finally convinced him to make his first trip to
D.C. He enjoyed everything, including the metro. Without a
place like Hotel Harrington, we would never have been able
to enjoy a wonderful week's stay in downtown D.C. Thank you
for providing such a great place for tourists.
Sincerely,
Sandy P.

Dear Ann, |

I arrived home in
Oregon City, Oregon after two weeks of R & R with my
daughter and grandchildren in Naperville, Illinois, a suburb
of Chicago. Vivian and I enjoyed some more beautiful, sunny
Autumn weather there, and were able to rest up after our
busy week in Washington, D.C.
My cousin, Anna,
had a connecting flight home to Portland, so she didn't
accompany us to Naperville.
We all had such
a wonderful time on our 8-day vacation, seeing a variety of
tourist attractions and taking special tours with passes
from our Senator Wyden's office. But the highlight of
our visit was seeing the World War II Memorial. I hope that
you can take time from your busy schedule to go see it
yourself. It was an emotional experience for us.
Again, I want to
thank you for giving us adjoining rooms when we registered.
And, how special that you remembered us as the two ladies
from Oregon after 12 years! Our stay at the Hotel Harrington
was like "coming home" at the end of a busy day. We
appreciated all of your courteous help and the friendly
atmosphere generated by all the staff.
Enclosed in the
itinerary of our Washington, C.C. trip. Hope you and your
staff enjoy reading it -- in your spare time! Thanks again,
and God Bell You All.
Most sincerely,

Dear Hotel Harrington |
July 2004 |
| We recently
spent five nights with you. I would like to thank you for a
wonderful experience and compliment you on your hotel and
staff. Your hotel is centrally
located, clean, comfortable and exceptionally reasonable in
price. We were in a room with a king bed, a living room area
with a microwave and refrigerator, and two bathrooms. I
would have expected to pay almost twice as much nightly for
such a luxurious amount of space right in the heart of the
city.
Beyond the physical accoutrements of
your establishment, I was also incredibly impressed with
your staff. The maids were unbelievably thorough and
considerate. Please let me provide two specific examples. 1)
The sheets were changed daily and were a different color
each night! What a nice surprise and a homey touch! 2) One
morning I was in a rush to begin sightseeing and left a pile
of laundry in a corner on the floor. When I returned,
the maid had folded my laundry and placed it neatly on my
suitcase! This action was completely unexpected, but
oh, so appreciated.
Your lobby staff was also helpful and
accommodating. I bought evening tour bus tickets in your
gift shop and the pick-up bus was running late. Without even
being asked, a young man called the company not once but
twice to verify that the bus was en route. He also checked on
me approximately every ten minutes while I waited. So
considerate.
Another evening we wanted to go our
to dinner and asked the front desk for a restaurant
suggestion. The desk clerks did even better than simply
recommending a restaurant; they produced a printed list of
nearby restaurants and directions to them. It got even
better! Next they shared a thick binder of all the menus for
our perusal. Again, this patience and desire to assist
certainly made a positive impression on me and significantly
enhanced my stay in Washington, D.C.
Once again, I would like to
compliment your entire hotel and thank you for such a
wonderful stay. I have already recommended you to several
people and if I return to Washington, I will certainly
return to your establishment.
Sincerely,
Rebecca C.
