Frommer's Review
Legislators, lobbyists, groupies, and Southern gentry stay at this elegantly furnished inn, just half a block north of the Old Capitol in the Adams Street Commons historic district. It's very old-school Washington, D.C. The building was once a livery stable, and part of its original architecture has been preserved, including the impressive beams. The guest rooms are distinctive, with four-poster beds, black-oak writing desks, rock-maple armoires, and antique accouterments. Of the suites, each one named for a Florida governor, one has a whirlpool tub; another has a loft bedroom with wood-burning fireplace. Complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon cocktails are served in the pine-paneled Florida Room, and a restaurant across the street provides limited room service. Hang out in the bar area and eavesdrop on amusing political banter. The staff here is super friendly and helpful.
Facilities:
Complimentary access to nearby health club; free Wi-Fi; limited room service; laundry service; soft drinks/water for purchase

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
