What’s that smell?
Wasn’t the worst — rooms were clean and it’s a cool old building. But there was this awful smell throughout the whole 3rd floor. I can’t really describe it, but if you are sensitive to smells this isn’t the place for you. Staff was nice. They seemed confused and it took a while for us to check in when we arrived around 10pm. My blanket had a burn hole in it that I noticed as soon as I walked into the room. It seemed clean, though, so I didn’t mind that. It also took a few tries sometimes to get the toilet to flush all the way. I didn’t really mind any of that except for the smell — that really made the stay hard to enjoy. Still, if you are just looking for a roof over your head for a few nights, Washington Inn does the trick.

Everything great! However check out could be handled a little more professionally. Hotel receptionist was standing outside talking to a friend oblivious of what’s going on inside. A cleaning lady had to call her to come inside to assist me. Receptionist a little too loud and obnoxious. I’m sure I’m not the only one that mentioned this.

I was terribly disappointed by the Washington Inn. The website indicates a charming old hotel with a restaurant, however in fact the restaurant is closed and the facility is old and in disrepair (patches in the carpet, doors from closet missing, scuffs all along the baseboards in the hallway). The bones of this place are amazing, however it is massively un-cared for. The staff were pleasant and helpful enough, though there was only ever one person on site. Breakfast was a coffee pump with dixie cups and muffins wrapped in plastic. The room smelled funny too (like industrial cleaner of some unrecognized variety). I ended up at the Graduate Berkeley for the same price and it was beyond charming with an awesome restaurant (Harry's) and a great cafe (Pointdexters), both which we received free drinks at as part of our stay. Amazing!

The room smelt like a chain-smoker lived there. The window had no screen and opened to a small walkable space. We figured that by opening the window the smoke smell would be surpassed by fresh air. Welp that was not the case! Someone was smoking there and it all went into our room. The a/c barely worked, barely slept, and walls are paper thin. Our shower was clogged and overflowed. There was hair all over the shower and bathroom floor. Stay away from room 211, left with chest pain and burnt nasal passages from inhaling smoke all night. The second room we got, smelled like old mildew from the humidity in the room. Place is awful! Only convenient thing was the parking.
