Riggs is a comfortable, attractive hotel in an extremely convenient setting for visiting the museums and other locations around the national mall. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the cafe was excellent. I prepaid for breakfast and that turned out to be a relative bargain. The superior room is of a standard size; the bathroom a bit on the small side, with the sink open to the room. However, the amenities are above average.

The hotel was stunning. It is located in the heart of DC. It was within walking distance of all the museums/monuments, as well as some stunning restaurants. It felt safe and clean and the staff were very kind and accommodating as well as knowledgeable on the city and the hotel. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when we come to DC next time.
