The Quincy

Frommer's Review

Big changes are on display at this hotel -- formerly known as the good-value property, Lincoln Suites -- located in the heart of downtown, near Metro stops, restaurants, and the White House. The Quincy has gone upscale in a renovation completed in 2007, adding pillow-top mattresses, sectional sofas, flatscreen TVs, complimentary high-speed Internet access, and double-paned windows to all rooms. The top-to-bottom transformation has also altered the decor to "conservative contemporary," replacing all the furniture and carpeting so that the overall design is brighter and very 21st century. Key elements remain: Suites are large and comfortable, with about 28 offering full kitchens, while the rest have wet bars (minifridge, microwave, and coffeemaker). The Quincy has direct access to Mackey's, an Irish pub right next door, and to Recessions, a restaurant on the lower level serving American/Mediterranean cuisine.

Lots of long-term guests and repeat customers bunk here, and are often rewarded for it, with goodies in the room or complimentary room upgrades.

Facilities: Restaurant (American/Mediterranean); bar (Irish); free passes to the well-equipped Bally's Fitness Center nearby; 24-hr. front desk; room service (11am-11pm); coin-op washer/dryers; Mon-Sat same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 2 rooms for those w/limited mobility, 1 w/roll-in shower.
