Everything was excellent. Only experience we had that put a damper on one night was there was no hot water for showers at 11:30pm. Bathrooms were too small. No counter to put your stuff on or a curling iron. Door to toilet and shower was extremely difficult to get in and close behind you (small area) especially since door opened inward.

My family recently stayed at The Riggs while we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. The staff at the Riggs were always friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. Garret and the other doormen always remembered us and welcomed us back each day and made sure we had what we needed, even making sure we got everything out of the Ubers we arrived in. The staff were also kind enough to deliver a bottle of champagne and a chocolate cake to us on arrival day to celebrate our special occasion and even included a card. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and well kept. We really enjoyed the warm coziness of the rooms with tasteful decor and color instead of the sad beige rooms we've had at other hotels. It was also wonderful to see throwbacks to the time the building was a bank, like the room number plates that resemble safe deposit box plates. Everything was clean and the complimentary robes, slippers, umbrella, and reusable bag were very nice to have. I also have to talk about the onsite restaurant, Cafe Riggs. The food was absolutely delicious. A few of our favorites were the Shakshuka, the salmon toast, and the goat cheese tart. The coffee was also a highlight for us. It was rich but not bitter in the slightest and was easily one of the best cups of coffee we’ve had. The location of the hotel is also perfect, it's in central DC and is only a block from the metro station or a quick Uber to most anything in DC. The Riggs staff always made sure we had everything we needed

The restaurant at the property was good, and the staff were nice and accommodating. However, the overall experience felt more like staying at a 3-star hotel rather than the 4-5 stars it’s rated as. There were issues with hot water in both the shower and sink. While the room was clean, it appeared quite old and outdated.

We stayed for four nights and had adjoining rooms, which worked perfectly for our family. One room had a king bed with a bathroom featuring a shower that had excellent water pressure in the handheld fixture. The adjoining room had two double beds and a smart bathroom setup, with the sink separate from a water closet that included a toilet and a full bathtub/shower combination. This layout made it easy for someone to brush their teeth while another used the restroom, and the kids loved having a bath in the evenings. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were quiet and dark at night, and we all slept well. We also enjoyed the hotel’s bar area for cocktails and had a fantastic Sunday brunch, with excellent service both at the bar and in the restaurant. In-room amenities were thoughtful and convenient — we especially appreciated the Nespresso machine and the complimentary bottled water replenished daily. The only drawback was that the rooms did not have dressers, which would have been helpful for unpacking during a longer stay. For four nights, we made do, but it would be something to consider for future trips. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and found the service, amenities, and room setup to be excellent for families.
