The Baron Hotel

Interesting old hotel. Elevator is an old style manual door which I thought was neat. Room was on the second floor so besides using the elevator once we just took the steps. It’s a comedy club/bar so there was an event going on, didn’t really notice it that much throughout the night. Bathroom and room were nice and clean. Hotel and room smelled fine. Staff was very friendly, one of them had a pocketbook size dog and it was super cute. Air conditioning was good. No parking but using Spot hero to find a spot was no problem. Area around the hotel was super clean and safe. Easy uber pickup. Easy DoorDash location. They held our bags as well while we attended a festival so that was very kind of them.

24 hour coffee, old vintage feel, very reasonably priced

Don’t book this hotel if you are expecting a traditional hotel experience. This place was perfect for our trip due to its proximity to everything we wanted to do while in DC. Great comfortable place to sleep, don’t let the elevator scare you, it’s jank and adds to the charm of the building. If we are ever back in the DC area we will definitely be coming back to the baron!! Also there is only street parking but there is a parking garage only a 10ish minute walk.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Baron. It is very close to the METRO station, shops and plenty of restaurants/bars are within a 5 minute walk. To be honest, this place took me back to my visits to London. It is an historic hotel with all the amenities (albeit basic) that you need. I even loved the tiny, old elevator that you had to manually open the doors.
