The Baron Hotel in Washington

These guys! Kicked my wife out today saying they haven't got her room anymore.....she booked 3 months in advance, and the best part, I can go online right now and book 5 rooms in this hotel. These people are absolutely full of it. Do not use them, don't ever go to this place. A huge mess around in the middle of a busy work trip.

Don't get me wrong. I would have given them 5 stars for organising another hotel, and trying to help out.......BUT THEY HAVE 5 EMPTY ROOMS YOU CAN BOOK RIGHT NOW.......

Hotel staff was rude and unhelpful. Me and my parents, seniors, had a 4th floor room. Upon arrival, all we needed was a little help opening the elevator's door (as it is an old one) to get our luggage inside it, but we got nothing but a raised-eyebrow stare and giggles.

Other than that, the hotel has a great location and an overall vintage ambiance. Hotel rooms were decent, although some furniture were dated. Breakfast was not included and was terrible.

From the outside, the place doesn't look terrible. It actually looks kind of cool, you can tell it's very old. From the inside it's the same, probably from around 1920-1940.

The first thing you'll notice is no lobby, followed by you getting a fancy key pocket that looks like it was created by a 2 year old. (See photos).

Next you get to ride on the adventure of your life! You step into an elevator that has two sliding doors with very heavy springs that you have to hold open to prevent someone from accidentally getting beheaded or perhaps from losing a leg. Once you're in the elevator that can hold either 1 fat person or 2 regular people (from both size and weight restrictions), you arrive at your floor. (If it doesn't break, it broke down after we got out and stayed that way for a few days).

After fighting the sliding elevator doors or doom once more and making it to your room, you find that your key doesn't work so you have to repeat the process. (Except using the stairs this time).

Once your key is working you make your way into your room, where more than likely 2-3 hookers have died within the past 50 years and their souls still inhabit and haunt the building.

Upon inspection of the room we found that the covers were freshly laced with hairs from previous guests (that we're probably murdered). After finding that all 3 layers of the bed was coated in hairs, we moved to the bathroom, this is where the fun began.

The washclothes had hairs in them.. The towels had hairs in them, and the floor was covered in pubes.

After finally getting it all cleaned ourselves, we went to sleep, wondering if we'd be the next ones to be murdered for our hairs to stuff the pillows for the next guests.

Finally, the sun came up, we had survived, and if it weren't for the jackhammer alarm clock, who knows?! We may have slept in until 8!!

Overall I give this place 2/5. It would get a 1 except the value helped seeing as all other hotels in the area are 300+/night.

Really disappointing (especially if you're expecting anything more than a place to crash). Rooms were old and dingy. Didn't feel safe. Staff was cold and didn't offer secure baggage storage.
