The lady at 'early' check-in on 16 July was excellent in supporting me as I wanted to leave my luggage on way to museums. I am sorry i didn't catch her name. Wait staff at lunch on 18 July was excellent! My salad with added warm grilled chicken was superb! Thank you everyone!

I really love this hotel and this was my third stay. I tried shared bathroom option this time and as a solo passenger it was perfect. The bar was a little on the noisy side to read so I moved to the lounge and it was perfect

Tabard Inn is a charming, historic inn with approximately 32 rooms. The rooms are individually furnished and very whimsical and eclectic. I loved the decor of my room, room 5. Sadly, it looked out over the inn's HVAC system and a small parking lot so I kept my curtains drawn for my one night stay. The restaurant is very popular in the Dupont Circle neighborhood and serves excellent new American cuisine. I live in DC and have visited the restaurant a few times over the decades. Was always intrigued by the inn and said I would stay there one day. I plan to return to the hotel--will simply request a room with a view. Highly recommend for those who appreciate intimate and quirky.

Feels like a B&B

We go back to the Tabard as often as possible. Great location, great service, and love the history and heritage. It’s not a modern cookie cutter hotel (lots of stairs and no room is the same as another), but more of a B&B feel. We love it.

Very interesting unique design of the hotel. Gives nice vibes. Has a restaurant inside. Looks very good, cannot comment about food since we didn’t use it. Not very convenient if your room is on the 4th floor since they don’t have an elevator. Also limited number of plugs in the room. Needed to unplug a lamp to charge the phone. Loved the location. Close to metro stations. Plus 25 minutes walking distance from the White House. Would return

stayed with a friend of mine for a concert, and the inn fulfilled all of our needs for an unforgettable weekend! atmosphere feels like stepping into a portal of the past, with vintage decoration and comfortable rooms. the staff are friendly and answered any questions i had regarding my stay, and the area is flooded with community. there is always something to do in dupont circle. all in all, the perfect stay for a dc getaway.

Excellent physical and social character throughout. They’ve made a solid effort to modernize — some of which work, some (like a faucet 10” above the bathroom sink basin) don’t.
