Cannot rate The Poppy higher. Amazing stay. Incredible hospitality. We got in at 6am, and basically had to sit in a park close by, but we took our chances and went back, just as a staff member was leaving. She was very happy to let us leave our bags, but did a quick check and saw our room hadnt been occupied the night before, so she let us in! An absolute living legend! Our room was stunning, we ended up staying another night. We LOVED our stay here. Highly highly recommend. Great location in a nice quiet part of Georgetown, but a short walk to M street.

The rooms were very spacious and clean, and the pillows were quite comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed, including a refrigerator. The size of the rooms exceeded my expectations. Breakfast could have offered a bit more variety, though it was still sufficient. However, it lacked some basic items such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives. The staff were very helpful . Having a shuttle to the metro station every half hour was very convenient. The hotel’s air conditioning system worked a bit too strongly, so even though we were there in July, we sometimes had to sit in the lounge with sweaters. The constant availability of tea and coffee, as well as a wide selection of herbal teas in the lobby, was a nice touch. Arlington is a very safe area, which made it easy for us to get everywhere, and it was also a beautiful and safe place for walking. We thank all the staff. In addition, the availability of a washing machine and dryer was a great convenience, especially for long trips and families with children.

    All the museums are wonderful and free.

    All the museums are wonderful and free. The postal and African American were amazing. Indian and Gallery of Art, too. Best in two hour bursts then grab a bite there or nearby. Use Ubers or public trans. Little parking. Weekdays less crowded.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free.

    The Smithsonian Institution is great. All museums are free. This was my 6th visit, and now I visited every museum of the Smithsonian. I particularly recommend the National Gallery, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The National Gallery has in my opinion the best painting ever made by Leonardo da Vinci, the portrait of Ginevra da Benci. This one is much better than La Jaconde in Le Louvre (and I am French...). Another Museum worth to visit for its paintings is the Phillips collection in Georgetown.
