Guest Book (2006 and earlier)

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.

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.

Sincerely the F. family

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.

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.

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,

Jana R.

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.
Party Leader

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

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 for doing such a wonderful job.

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.

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,

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.

Thank you to you and your staff for a terrific stay and for their wonderful service. I look forward to my next stay.

2 of my friends were in another hotel in a not so great neighborhood and were able to change to your hotel which is of course the best placed hotel in DC.

Thanks again.

Cheers

I'd like to take this opportunity to compliment the staff at Hotel Harrington. Sylvia and I found staff members to be both accommodating and friendly. We especially appreciated the assistance, patience and kindness Julianna (night desk) provided in making our visit to your city a great experience. She was always kind and smiling.

Thank you.
